Professional Ballroom Dancer and diet cookbook author Kym Johnson married Businessman and Shark Tank judge Robert Herjavec on Sunday in Los Angeles. The couple met when they were paired up on season 20 of Dancing with the Stars. After their elimination, they continued to see each other romantically and announced their engagement earlier this year. Last weekend, the couple gathered up fellow DWTS cast offs and judges for what sounds like a beautiful day.
It’s a match made in Dancing heaven!
Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec married his former Dancing with the Stars partner, Kym Johnson, in front of family and friends in Los Angeles on Sunday, PEOPLE exclusively confirms.
The bride, wearing a Monique Lhuillier strapless gown, walked down the aisle with her mother and father as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” played.
Herjavec, 53, and Johnson, 39, who got engaged in March, exchanged personal vows in front of guests, which included DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba and alums Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Donny Osmond.
The couple fell in love during DWTS rehearsals in 2015, and continued to date after they were sent home. “I didn’t think it was possible, but it just kept getting better,” Johnson said.
Now, “I’m just so happy to be going through life with Robert,” said Johnson. “He’s the most incredible person.” Added Herjavec, “I enjoy every minute I spend with Kym. When I met her, I felt complete.”
Robert was married for 26 years prior (the last two years they were separated) and has three children with his first wife. Kym has never been married. As for their 14-year age difference, it doesn’t seem like a big deal for two people who have already forged their own careers and lives.
Let’s get to the fun part – the details. Prior to the wedding, Kym enjoyed a co-ed Bachelorette party in Vegas, where she saw JLo’s show along with buddies Cheryl Burke and Carson Kressley (and apparently met Nicole Kidman). You can see additional pictures of Kym’s dress on People’s website. She looked beautiful. I love the tulle underskirt showing and the romance of the netting on the bodice. I appreciate that Kym walked down the aisle to Somewhere over the Rainbow. I ultimately chose Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring but we seriously discussed my processing to the theme from Jaws. I still kind of regret not doing that but we could only afford horns for the church, no cellos. The couple danced to Etta James’ At Last, which is lovely and quite appropriate, if not very popular, for a first dance. Obviously dancing was going to be a big deal for the couple. Following the first dance, the wedding party joined them on the dance floor to dance to Bills by LunchMoney Lewis. Bills was the first dance Kym and Robert did together so that’s sweet. Sorry, I have no snark here. They seem happy and into each other and the wedding sounds fun. Best wishes to the couple!

Happy for them! I had to google him, though!
I waled down the aisle to Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters and then we walked out to Smashing Pumpkin’s Today is the Greatest – both played on the guitar by my brother. So, I love a non-traditional music pick!
That sounds awesome! I’m a huge Metallica fan, so you definitely spoke to my heart! 🙂
Have no idea who either of them are but they look happy and in love. Nice to see!
I think she’s the Aussie chick off our version of DWTS. She looks very different – she used to look very natural – now not not do much.
Anyhoo whatevs. He is extremely well preserved for someone his age. Spunkrat.
Yes she was on DWTS Aus version and she dated Tom William’s (?? Can’t remember last name ) after he one and she was his dance partner.
Congrats to them and like you the only beef I have is with her changing face. She has gone to far now.
Man that’s going back a while. It was really awkward because she was engaged to Shane Watson (cricketer) whilst on DWTS with Tom. Then she left Shane for Tom!
Anyway, I think she’s very lovely and glad she’s finally found happiness! In fact all 3 have: her, Shane & Tom haha
So Watto’s all-rounder skills were about on par in the relationship sphere as well eh?
BUT this bloke is definitely a silver fox/spunkrat.
Yeah her face looks way different now.
Who and what? Were they…the Stars? i….
*edit* Omg waiitt She is not a Real Housewife of ______?!?! Like I was Convinced she had to be one of those
Check out that ice cube on her hand!
I don’t know them and I don’t watch the show. But… Congrats to the happy couple!
Good for them… But… She was 39 several years ago – and I remember being suspicious then! Not sure why a sublebrity would need to lie about their age…
I did a double-take at that age. There is no way she’s 39. Beautiful woman, but not 39.
Who?
Not sure how anyone could not know who either of them is. Shark Tank has been on for years and is incredibly popular, and Kym has been a professional dancer with DWTS for years.
Sweet couple, nice people, and wish them the best.
Congrats to them, they seem happy.
That is so sweet. I’ve always liked Robert and even though it may seem a bit rushed, keep I. Mind, he’s 53 and probably just wants to get going on his life with his girl! So neat and romantic.
He’s always seemed like such a neat dude on ST. Don’t know her but they look super happy. Thanks for a good news post!
And the next day he reached out to, then threw a party for a kid whose prosthetic leg was stolen at the beach–super nice guy.
I’ve always liked him. He’s the nicest and most level headed shark, plus he wears beautiful fitted suits that complement his gorgeous blue eyes. Lovely couple!
I don’t watch either of their shows but they always looked happy together in the few photos I’ve seen of them. Congrats to them!
No idea who they are, but wanted to click/comment on something that wasn’t Kardashion or Swift. Long live other celebrities (or semi-celebrities or whatever they are)!
He dumped his wife once he got on dancing with the stars and got a bit famous. Scum
That’s not true. He and his wife separated in the year prior to his meeting Kim.
His wife left him before DWTS. He did not dump her she dumped him. There was a big article on that (yes I somewhat follow Shark Tank) and he was very sad over it. Then he met Kym. No judgment . Life is short. Enjoy it.
Good for them. She seems like a nice person.
I love this couple. Robert and his wife separated in 2014, and he didn’t meet Kim until 2015, so the poster upthread is incorrect. On DWTS, Robert told the story of his marriage falling apart, followed by the death of a parent (mom?). Despite his business success, he’s was deeply depressed and contemplating suicide when he got the call to be on DWTS. It was obvious how much they adored each other.
