Strictly’s Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara Leave ‘Dream Home’ in Sad Move
Strictly Come Dancing stars Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec have made the heartfelt decision to leave their “dream” home in Cheshire after two years. This emotional relocation comes amid mounting work commitments and the challenges of balancing family life with busy careers.
Challenges of Commuting and Family Life
The couple, proud parents of their young daughter Lyra, found that their daily commutes to work had become increasingly strenuous. Aljaz described the move as “awful,” primarily because of the added stress involved in packing and shifting homes with a toddler in tow. With a little one who enjoys unpacking boxes, the process became even more complex and time-consuming for the couple.
Reflecting on their time in Cheshire, Janette expressed deep nostalgia for the home where they created cherished milestones with their daughter. Notably, this house was Lyra’s first home, filled with laughter and family moments. However, both Janette and Aljaz concluded that it was becoming impractical to live in Cheshire, especially considering Janette’s weekly travels to London for her role on *It Takes Two* and Aljaz’s commitments with *Strictly Come Dancing*.
A Focus on Family Stability
Janette emphasized that the well-being of their family must come first, stating, “The priority is family and spending time together.” With the decision to relocate closer to London, they hope to establish a more stable routine for Lyra, ensuring they can spend quality time as a family rather than being caught up in the demands of lengthy commutes.
This move not only reflects their commitment to family life but also their understanding of the importance of being present for their daughter during her formative years. The couple believes that by living closer to their work, they can better support Lyra’s needs while still pursuing their careers in the entertainment industry.
The Desire for Rural Living
Despite the upcoming change, Janette expressed a longing for the tranquility of rural living. As they prepare for their upcoming joint tour, *A Night To Remember,* which begins on May 14 and continues through June 14, the couple is determined to find a new home that still offers the peace and greenery that they loved about Cheshire.
While they may be leaving behind their first home together, Janette and Aljaz are hopeful that their new abode will provide a balance of their busy professional lives and their desire for a nurturing family environment. The transition showcases their commitment to both their careers and the joy of family life, as they prioritize community and meaningful experiences at home.
As fans of Janette and Aljaz, it’s heartening to witness their dedication to creating both a fulfilling professional life and a nurturing family atmosphere. With their focus on stability and togetherness, it’s clear that their next chapter promises to be just as exciting and enriching.
