Rachel Riley steps out with mini-me daughter Noa for ultra-rare public appearance
Rachel Riley delighted fans on Wednesday with the sweetest family photo featuring her husband Pasha Kovalev and their two daughters, Maven and Noa.
Their two children nonetheless stole the show in their precious colourful dresses. Maven, three, looked so sweet in a sky-blue princess dress interspersed with swathes of hot pink and butter yellow. She finished off her look with a glossy pink puffer jacket and a pair of sparkly silver Converse.
Her younger sister, Noa, meanwhile, melted hearts in a witch dress complete with floaty orange tendrils. Twinning with her older sister, little Noa layered up with a matching pink puffer. Adorable!
In one particularly sweet image, the sibling duo could be seen stroking a cat whilst perched on a set of stone steps dotted with carved pumpkins.
“This cat didn’t know what hit it. Precious family time and no tricks all night, just lots and lots of caaaaaandy sweets – thank you London!” Rachel noted in her caption.
Fans and friends raced to the comments section to share their thoughts, with one writing: “Omg little Noa looks so much like you did when you were little,” while another wrote: “That’s so cute.”
A third remarked: “Gorgeous family! Hope that you had fun,” and a fourth sweetly added: “Aww bless, beautiful darling,” followed by a couple of red heart emojis.
Lovebirds Rachel and Pasha, who first crossed paths on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2013, welcomed Maven in 2019 and Noa in 2021.
Since welcoming their two daughters, the couple have been incredibly open about their life as a family-of-four.
“There’s one that’s a dance with numbers up to 100. And she’s looking for numbers on the side of the road, like the speed signs or the road signs and she’s shouting the numbers out, you know, getting excited about it and counting. Even the baby’s going ‘1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11’.
Rachel went on to say: “They’re both really active. My three-year-old’s riding a bike and she [was] on a balance bike and a scooter this week. It’s just going before my eyes. But it’s fun watching their little personalities and letting them try stuff, but just keeping them out of the road!”
