Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev release adorable new pictures of baby Maven

The little cutie is six weeks old

Countdown star Rachel Riley has shared new images of her adorable daughter Maven, who was born in December.

The tot – who Rachel shares with former Strictly Come Dancing pro Pasha Kovalev – arrived two weeks after her due date.

However, she came so quickly that Rachel ended up giving birth in her bathroom at home.

In the shots, baby Maven seems blissfully unaware of all the fuss going on around her, with the tot snoozing away as her doting mum held her for photographs.

She added: “I think the concept that you can help those less fortunate by buying the products you’re looking to buy anyway is brilliant.”

Rachel concluded: “From Babies With Love’s beautiful, organic baby clothes are such a heartwarming way to contribute, I feel proud whenever Maven wears them.”

Rachel and Pasha met on Strictly back in 2013 and married in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2019.

Rachel is clearly loving motherhood so far. Earlier this week, she took to Instagram and revealed that she and Pasha are already thinking of adding to their brood.
