After eagerly awaiting the arrival of their little one, Daniella Karagach and her husband Pasha Pashkov were overjoyed when their daughter Nikita was born in May 2023. As professional dancers on Dancing With the Stars, the couple had already shared their love of movement and performance, but now they were experiencing the joy of parenthood together. This exciting new chapter in their lives had been eagerly anticipated since they first announced Karagach's pregnancy in November 2022.
Announcing the arrival of their bundle of joy, the pregnant dancer took to Instagram with a picture of the couple holding a pair of adorable sneakers. "Baby Pashkov coming May '23," she wrote, expressing their immense love for their little one. In the next month, Karagach proudly flaunted her growing belly at an event for the Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, marking her baby's red carpet debut. As she turned 30 in December 2022, the Latin dancer combined her birthday celebration with a sex reveal party, making it a grand affair.
After welcoming their little one on May 30, 2023, the talented dancers kept their followers updated with the latest news surrounding their new arrival. And just one day after Nikita was born, the couple took to Instagram to share some adorable snapshots of their bundle of joy. The heartwarming photos showcased the newborn sleeping peacefully in a cozy mauve swaddle, as well as napping on her father's chest and in her mother's loving embrace in the hospital room.
In June 2023, Pashkov took to Instagram to share a heartwarming recap video of their first week as a family of three. The caption expressed their love for their new bundle of joy, Nikita, and gratitude for being chosen as parents. The video was set to the classic tune, "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles. Karagach, in response, left a comment expressing her overwhelming emotions and love for their little family. Later that same month, the family took their first walk together, which was documented and shared with their followers on social media by the New York native.
In a recent post, she shared a series of photos from their first walk together, where Nikita (also known as Kita, Kiki, Keeks) was sound asleep throughout the entire stroll. She expressed her admiration for their stroller, praising its big tire wheels for making their walks smoother and more enjoyable than ever before. On the other hand, Pashkov humorously revealed that he has learned a lot from watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S, including a playful ritual to help their daughter have sweet dreams. He demonstrated Phoebe Buffay's technique of "cleaning the aura" by pulling the air around Nikita, which he claims to be effective when she has bad dreams.
