Rachel Riley may be known for her impeccable skills on Countdown but away from our TV screens, she is a doting mum of two. After meeting professional dancer Pasha Kovalev on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, the couple went on to welcome daughters, Maven, three, and baby Noa. But, are more kids on the cards? We’re just starting to get out of the woods and they can play together now. They can be left together for a little bit, it’s starting to get a little bit easier. So I think we’re on that note.
Explaining what a typical morning in her household looks like, Rachel said: “The big one [Maven] comes in with me with the little one [Noa] and says like, ‘Hello’ and it’s cuddles, cuddles, cuddles. And then it’s generally ‘Can we go to the park, can we go to soft play, can we go to the beach. And then it’s, you know, ‘I want noodles. I want toast.’ It just feels like it’s constantly tidying up, feeding, and taking them to the park. I have two children and I took four vehicles to the park with me the other day to make sure they were happy.
I had a pushchair, a scooter, a push bike and a cycling bike. And it’s just like one person with two kids – two toddlers – and I’m just bag lady. And honestly, a ten-minute walk takes about an hour. So by the time you’ve got there, you have to turn around and keep feeding them again.
Rachel added: “I think parenthood is so repetitive. But it’s fun because you get to see how much they’ve come on. So we just got this bike for Christmas and already she’s [Maven] just cycling by herself everywhere. So it’s special. It’s nice.
