You are the definition of what makes my job/life so incredible. I told you I got you after our first rehearsal when you couldn’t imagine yourself EVER getting this quickstep right, and I promise to keep my word everyday for the next 3 months. I couldn’t be happier with you as my partner, and I’m grateful for every challenging moment #teamValenTay will overcome this season. Let this beautiful journey begin… @tamarbraxtonher.”
