Countdown's Rachel Riley says romance with husband Pasha is 'on hold'

Countdown star Rachel Riley says romance with husband Pasha Kovalev is 'on hold' for the timebeing. The former BBC Strictly Come Dancing contestant made the admission in an interview with The Mirror, in which she said parenting their two young children was the priority.

The star said having two children under four made it difficult to focus on romance. But she vowed she and Pasha – who got together after being partnered on Strictly in 2013 and married in 2019 – will get right back to it once she stops breastfeeding their youngest daughter Noa, 18 months.

Rachel said: “All the romance and dates… we just kind of put a pin in it. “We’re both quite patient and we know that once Noa is off the boob, we’ll get there again.”
