The star shares two daughters with husband Pasha
Rachel shares Noa and two-year-old Maven with her former Strictly partner, Pasha. The couple started dating at the end of 2013 and went on to tie the knot in Las Vegas in June 2019.
Speaking recently to chat show host Lorraine Kelly, Rachel confessed: "I'm in that new mum daze. I've got two little girls now. Noa's two weeks old, so she was born on Bonfire Night, 15 days after she was supposed to arrive, to the sound of fireworks as I was contracting at home.

"When we introduced her [Maven] to her [Noa], she checked her tummy because she was telling us that she had a baby in her tummy - so she was like, 'It's out now.' That's good to know, painless for her.”
She continued: "She's absolutely gorgeous with her, she just wants to kiss her and wants to have her on her lap and play her iPad toddler games with the baby’s hand which is adorable. We're really loving it."
