AceShowbiz - Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov are going to be parents soon. On Wednesday, November 23, the Dancing with the Stars" pro-dancers announced that they are expecting their first child together.
Making use of Instagram, the couple shared a sweet photo of themselves as the pregnant star held tiny sneakers. "Baby Pashkov coming May '23. We love you more than words could ever express," they wrote in the caption.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Daniella shared, "We've wanted a family ever since we've gotten married and we've been married for eight and a half years, so we are more than ready to have a baby." She added, "We wanted to start planning this year and it just so happened that the timing was absolutely perfect. I actually found out I was pregnant on [DWTS season 31's] premiere day."
Daniella, who married Pasha, in 2014, revealed that her season 31 partner Joseph Baena didn't know about her pregnancy. However, "he's a sweetheart and he really was super gentle with me, although he didn't know."
The pregnancy was seemingly easy for Daniella since she didn't experience "nausea since day one." She added. "My body is just so used to dancing and being active that if I kind of go the other way, it's too much of an extreme for my body... My doctor was like, 'The fact that you keep dancing is actually healthy for the baby.' That was refreshing to hear."
"I can't wait to bring in a baby to the Dancing with the Stars family," she further gushed. "They're all so loving and supportive, so to share that news with them was so, so special."
How she and her husband feels about becoming parents, Daniella explained, "I feel like it'll come second nature to us." She then elaborated, "I cannot wait to watch Pasha become a dad because he is unreal with kids. There's no anxiety, there's no stress. I feel a sense of calmness. The baby is going to change our life only for the better."
