Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson met on Dancing With the Stars, and the two quickly hit it
off before eventually marrying in 2016.
But as madly in love as they are with each other, we can't ignore the unorthodox elements
of their union.
Here are all of the strange things about their relationship.
Herjavec and his ex-wife, Diane Plese, had been married for 24 years when they decided
to legally separate.
With divorce looming on the horizon, Herjavec fell into a dark period of his life, telling
People magazine that he had contemplated taking his own life.
On March 3rd, 2015, Herjavec announced that he and Plese were officially moving forward
with the divorce in a statement to TMZ, saying,
"Human Relationships are so difficult…
I wish nothing but love and peace for our family as we move forward from this."
Just a few days after his divorce announcement, he was spotted out on the town with Johnson.
They were all smiles as they drove around in his fancy car, and it was pretty clear
that his wounds from his previous marriage had healed, thanks, in part, to Johnson.
The timing of the end of his marriage and the start of his relationship with Johnson
is pretty suspicious, but Johnson insisted to People magazine that they were strictly
platonic when they first met.
Not only was he still legally married when he fell head over heels in love with Johnson,
he also reportedly had a mistress, an actress by the name of Danielle Vasinova.
Vasinova told Woman's Day in August 2015 that she and Herjavec went through a bitter breakup,
and the millionaire businessman cut off all communication with her after Johnson fox-trotted
her way into his life.
After claiming he had forced her to move out of an apartment he had been renting, she added,
"I don't think any person should be treated the way I have been, it's mean and cruel."
In November 2017, People magazine reported that Herjavec had filed a lawsuit against
Vasinova, who he had dated on and off from January 2014 through February 2015, for attempting
to extort him for $20 million.
Vasinova fought back with a countersuit, claiming Herjavec had repeatedly assaulted her during
their relationship, TMZ reported.
We're not sure how she did it, but Johnson managed to stand by her man's side during
the whole ordeal.
Less than a year after his divorce was finalized, the Croatian-Canadian businessman got down
on one knee to propose to the love of his life.
"It took me a long time.
I didn't let anybody know until a week before 'cause I'm really bad at surprises, and I
was afraid I'd mess it up."
He recalled the magical event on Good Morning America, noting a somewhat embarrassing moment.
At first, Kym wouldn't respond to his proposal… so he kept asking.
"And I asked a third time, and she didn't say anything, and I'm saying, 'This is getting
a little awkward.'
But she said 'yes' finally."
Thankfully, this wasn't a case of three strikes, you're out!
Their relationship moved at lightning speed after the couple met in February 2015.
Partnering up on Dancing With The Stars, they reportedly fell in love during the show's
rehearsals, started dating, and were spotted jet-setting all over the world soon thereafter.
Before we knew it, they were engaged in February 2016.
They got married in the summer of that same year and announced they were expecting twins
via IVF in December 2017.
While discussing the smitten pair going from 0 to 100 in less than three years, a source
told People magazine,
"This has been a roller coaster for them the last few years: meeting, falling in love,
getting married and now starting a family…
Kym has wanted to be a mom for a long time.
They're both so happy."
Here's to a lifetime of happiness for the enamored couple, but their speedy relationship
is really giving us a bout of motion sickness.
Herjavec's ex-wife reportedly received half of his $263 million fortune in their divorce
settlement.
The financial hit made the entrepreneur more cautious with his next marriage.
So, according to Woman's Day, he sought out a prenuptial agreement prior to his wedding
to Johnson.
A source told the website that Johnson agreed to sign a prenup that gives her, quote, "next
to nothing" in the event that her marriage to the Shark Tank star hit the skids.
The source continued,
"It's a case of once bitten twice shy for Robert.
But Kym loves him with all her heart and she couldn't imagine life without him."
It's pretty sucky that Johnson had to prove she was in it for all the right reasons by
signing an agreement that might leave her with zilch, but we can also understand why
Herjavec felt the need to protect his dough.
Luckily, the dance maven rakes in her own money as a judge of the Australian version
of Dancing With The Stars and as a dancer on the American program.
