Rachel Riley has revealed that she and her husband, former Strictly Come Dancing professional Pasha Kovalev, won’t be adding to their family.
The Countdown presenter, 39, first met Pasha, 45, on Strictly in 2013 before the couple tied the knot in 2019. They share two daughters, five-year-old Maven and Noa, three. But Rachel says their family is complete.

Rachel Riley shuts down having more kids with Pasha Kovalev
Speaking to Woman magazine, Rachel was asked about having more babies and admitted: “No, I think we’re done.”
Asked whether her girls might follow in their dad’s dance-trained footsteps, Rachel said both were already taking classes.
“They’re both dancing. Maven, the eldest, has got her first ballet exam coming up, and the little one, Noa, has got her first show soon,” she explained, as reported by the Liverpool Echo. “They are just doing ballet, so it’s nothing serious. They love it, and they always get Pasha to throw them around the kitchen.”
‘It takes you back’
Last month, Rachel told The Times about taking her daughters to Disneyland Paris for the first time. She admitted that the trip brought back fond memories of her own childhood.
“I remember my grandma taking us to the ABC cinema in Southend to see The Lion King, and I still love all the Disney films,” she gushed. “I took my kids to Disneyland Paris for the first time recently, and it’s so nostalgic looking at your youth through new eyes. It takes you back.”
