Who is Rachel Riley married to?
Rachel Riley is married to Strictly Come Dancing's professional dancer, Pasha Kovalev. The couple met in 2013 when they were paired together on the popular BBC show, when Rachel was married to Jamie Gilbert, who she met whilst they were studying at Oxford University.
However, the former couple announced their separation in November 2013. This was then followed by Pasha and Rachel announcing themselves as a romantic couple, the following month in December.
Pasha and Rachel tied the knot in December 2019, in Las Vegas.
How many children does Rachel Riley have?
The 35-year-old TV presenter now has two children with Pasha Kovalev.; both of who are girls! Their first child, Maven, was born in December 2019, the same month when they got married.
Rachel announced the birth of her second daughter, Noa who was born 15 days after her due date but was welcomed into the world with fireworks as she was born late on Friday night, November 5.
Riley penned in a tweet on November 8: ‘’We have some news…! Introducing @PashaKovalev’s newest dance partner - baby Noa was finally born, 15 days after her due date, late on Friday night to the sound of fireworks!’’
In a follow up of the thread, she wrote: ‘’She’s totally adorable and her big sister Maven has already tried welcoming her to the world by offering Oatly and pickles, we think that’s a good sign. Massive thanks to the wonderful homebirth midwives team and my doula who looked after us all so well.’’
In a separate tweet, Riley shared a picture of her holding her newborn and humorously captioned the tweet as ‘’PS Is it just me or does she look a bit like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer here? Guess they didn’t call him the baby-faced assassin for nothing’’.
