“Dancing With the Stars” professional dancers Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov threw a bear-themed baby shower ahead of the birth of their first child, and they invited plenty of people from the “Dancing With the Stars” family.
The couple shared photos from the day on Instagram including photos of themselves posing with their guests like Emma Slater and Joseph Baena, and they posted even more on their now-expired Instagram Stories. Karagach called the whole day a “dream.”
“Our baby shower was something I could’ve only imagined it to be,” the Instagram caption reads. “My parents flew in and mom created a theme/decorated the beautiful venue. We celebrated with our family, friends, besties that flew in, and our DWTS family. It was surreal to have everyone in one room celebrating our baby girl.”
The post concludes, “This was a day we’ll never forget. Soaking it all in at the moment. More photos and vids coming soon.”
Karagach & Pashkov Shared Photos From Their Maternity Shoot
Karagach posted the photos, some of which included her topless and covered by flowers. She called the photoshoot “a dream” before saying there would be more to share soon. Later, she shared more photos on Instagram, calling pregnancy “surreal.”
Pashkov and Karagach celebrated seven years of marriage and 13 years together overall on January 1, 2023.
“13 years ago we started our journey,” Karagach wrote in her Instagram post on that date. “You are my person @pashapashkov and I couldn’t imagine sharing our laughs, tears, victories, losses, spontaneous adventures, griefs, competitions, and experiences with anyone else on this planet.”
She added, “I’m incredibly lucky to call you my husband and I thank you for accepting the dorky Dani and loving her unconditionally. You’re my favorite. Happy anniversary Doofè. Cheers to 13 years. Yours, Doofa.”
In 2019, they spoke with Entertainment Tonight about wanting children.
“If we could, we would’ve had our baby like five years ago. We really want kids,” Pashkov said. They announced their pregnancy in December 2023.
