‘DWTS’ stars Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov welcome first child

Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov are new parents!

On May 30, 2023, Karagach gave birth to her husband Pasha Pashkov’s first child, a daughter named Nikita.

The Dancing With the Stars pros shared the exciting news via a joint post on Instagram alongside a series of family pictures.

“Nikita 5.30.23,” the caption read.

Back in November 2022, the couple used a pair of tiny sneakers to announce their pregnancy.

“Baby Pashkov coming May ’23. We love you more than words could ever express,” the pair said in a joint statement on Instagram.

Just a month later,  Karagach, 30, and Pashkov, 37, revealed the gender of their baby – with the help of pink balloons and confetti.

In December 2022, Karagach wrote on Instagram alongside a video on the gender reveal, “IT’S A ….. BABY GIRL.”

“Pasha and I are OVER THE MOON to finally share these beautiful news with you!!!! This is a birthday I’ll never forget. I want to thank Pasha for making this day so special for me. From the morning love notes and flowers to the games and festivities at night, thank you for spoiling me with love.,” she continued, “I couldn’t have ask for a better day and better people to be surrounded by. Thank you for celebrating me and baby girl!!! From the bottom of our hearts.”

Karagach and Pashkov began dating in 2010 – when she was still a teenager. After he proposed two years later, they got engaged. They eventually tied the knot in 2014 in New York.

While the couple competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2019, she told Entertainment Tonight that their bodies were their “priority.”

“If we could, we would’ve had our baby like five years ago. We really want kids,” Pashkov said at the time.

After more than a decade together, the dancer finally hinted at their plans to start a family. In August 2021, she replied “TRUE” with a heart emoji when an Instagram user asked whether she and Pashkov wanted to have kids.
