“He helps me, I help him, and it has always been a team effort from the get-go,” said Daniella Karagach once about her husband. Now, it is quite clear why she said so. Karagach and Pasha Pashkov are a standout duo in the world of ballroom magic, but their partnership off the dance floor is truly stealing the show. However, it’s her husband’s latest lighthearted take on fatherhood that’s bringing as much joy to fans as any high-kicking cha-cha.

Pashkov recently took to his Instagram to post a video, in which in the first clip Pashkov is ready to conquer the dance floor, only to reveal a second clip of himself as a makeshift “horse” for baby Nikita. It’s a heartwarming scene as Nikita gleefully rides atop her father, the true “audience” for his most meaningful performance yet.

While Pashkov has taken on some of the most demanding roles in competitive dance, he cheekily suggests that nothing quite compares to his real-life role as Nikita’s favorite plaything with the caption “Parent life🤪.” Karagach also commented, “😂😂😂💯,” with admiration and humor.

Pashkov and Karagach’s relationship is a beautiful mix of love, laughter, and mutual respect, built over years of partnership both in life and dance. It was because of dance that they met in 2009. Daniella and Pasha got engaged on Jan. 1, 2013, and married on July 18, 2014, in New Jersey.

Moreover, they welcomed their first child, Nikita, in May 2023. Also, they celebrated their 10-year anniversary this year at Six Flags Magic Mountain after spending the morning with their daughter. “To many more years of turning our dreams into realities and growing our family. I love you. You’re my favorite 🖤,” wrote Daniella for Pasha in an Instagram post.

Previously as well, Daniella shared a video on her Instagram Story showing Nikita holding her father Pasha Pashkov’s hand and taking an evening stroll on the poolside. The pro-dancer even captioned the video, “Signing off💜,” showing that the whole family was on a mission to spend a good time together.

As for Karagach, she is going strong in the 33rd season of Dancing with the Stars alongside dance partner and NBA veteran Dwight Howard. With Karagach continuing her DWTS journey, fans can expect more of these heartfelt glimpses into her life off-stage. However, as Pashkov shares a glimpse into their off-court life, a few days back Daniella also gave insights into motherhood.

Daniella Karagach on how she balances motherhood and work routine

As mentioned before, Daniella Kragach and Pasha Pashkov became parents last year. Now as Karagach became a parent, her responsibilities also increased besides her dancing career and this started to take a toll.

“This season, I have such a great personality to work with, but I’m drained because I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to make him [Dwight Howard] look good. And then when you go home, you can’t just like, you know, unwind and relax. You’ve got to go home and… take care of a baby,” said Karagach (as per ABC).

However, even though the pressure on her has increased, the 31-year-old also shared during the interview that motherhood has given her an extra layer of strength she never knew she had. “I never really knew how strong I was until I was becoming a mom, whether it was a loss or a win, with having a child…is just knowing how strong I am, and shaping someone’s life is truly a huge responsibility. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life… but it’s the most rewarding for me personally,” added Daniella (as per ABC).

Karagach first appeared on the show during the 28th season in 2019 but as a dancer. She became a pro in 2020 when she was paired with rapper Nelly and finally won the ‘Mirrorball Trophy’ in the 30th season when she was paired with another NBA veteran Iman Shumpert. As Karagach makes waves in the 33rd season with Howard, the support of Pashkov and Nikita will indeed help her for a trophy win.
