Life has a way of surprising us, even in the most unexpected moments. Val Chmerkovskiy and his fiancée, Jenna Johnson, are grieving the sudden loss of their cherished dog, Anastasia. The beloved pet "unexpectedly passed away" on August 15, leaving a void in their lives. In a heartfelt interview with Us Weekly, Val opened up about the profound impact Anastasia had on his life.
Val shared how Anastasia brought immense joy into his world and changed his perspective on life. "She brought so much happiness to me and really transformed my understanding of many things," he said. "Growing up, I never had dogs, so I never experienced that deep bond you can have with an animal. This was all new to me." Anastasia's passing has left Val reflecting on the permanence of life and the unpredictable nature of death. "It’s been a tough week-and-a-half for me," he admitted, his voice heavy with emotion. "The suddenness of it all is both frightening and scary."

Val Reflects on Life After Losing Anastasia
Val revealed that Anastasia's passing has prompted him to reevaluate life and its fleeting nature. "I’ve been going back and forth, trying to see the bigger picture," he explained. "Life goes on, but at the same time, I confront that thought and say, ‘Look, it’s all relative.’ You love what you love, and it’s all relative to you." This perspective has helped Val navigate the emotional whirlwind he's experiencing. It's a reminder that while life moves forward, the connections we make with our loved ones, whether human or animal, leave an indelible mark.
Memories of Anastasia
According to Us Weekly, Anastasia was more than just a pet; she was a cherished companion who accompanied Val and Jenna on countless adventures. The small, brown poodle mix traveled with them on tours across the country, becoming an integral part of their lives. Jenna took to Instagram the morning after Anastasia's passing to express her heartbreak. "Thank you for officially making us a family," she wrote. "You made it the three of us. You brought immense joy into our lives. We treated you like our baby because you definitely were. I wish you could have been a flower girl at our wedding, but I know you'll be there in spirit."
