Rachel Riley, the ‘Countdown’ star, has revealed that she and her husband, Pasha Kovalev, currently have little time for romance due to their busy lives as parents. The couple, who married in 2019, have two young children: Maven, who is three years old, and Noa, who is 17 months old. Rachel explained that they’ve had to “put a pin” in the idea of date nights for now but are optimistic that they will find time for each other once their youngest child is a bit older.
In an interview with The Sunday Mirror, Rachel mentioned that they are both patient and understand that the current situation is temporary. She expressed her excitement about celebrating milestones in the future, particularly looking forward to her 40th birthday in 2026. Rachel is already planning to celebrate her friends’ 40th birthdays with big parties, reminiscing about how they had planned a trip to Las Vegas for their 30th birthdays but ended up postponing it due to pregnancies.
Rachel is optimistic about future celebrations, imagining a time when their children are older and they can enjoy parties together. She humorously suggested that they might gather in a house with their kids and leave the fathers in charge while they celebrate. Overall, Rachel is looking forward to the future and enjoying life as her children grow up.
