Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev kiss and cuddle as they take baby daughter Maven for a family stroll

She recently admitted to enjoying her ‘enforced maternity leave’ brought on by the government enforced lockdown amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

And Rachel Riley, 34, appeared to be in the throes of familial and romantic bonding on Wednesday, when she was spotted enjoying a stroll with her husband Pasha Kovalev, 40, and their six-month-old daughter Maven Aria.

The Countdown whizz and her Strictly Come Dancing star husband shared a kiss as they walked arm-in-arm along the streets of London, while Rachel cradled Maven.

Wearing her golden locks in a relaxed bun, the TV star went makeup-free as she walked beside Pasha, who donned a navy T-shirt and shorts with colourful trainers.

Adorable little Maven was the natural star of the show, wearing a bright and colourful floral dress with a patterned bonnet as she rested in her mother’s arms.

Rachel and Pasha, who became first-time parents to Maven in December, have been enjoyed extended time off at home amid the global COVID-19 pandemic. 

Speaking on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Lucy Horobin, Rachel recently admitted the countrywide lockdown has been something of a blessing for the family as they have been given ‘enforced maternity and paternity leave’.

Jamie asked Rachel how she’s feeling about new parenthood in lockdown, saying: ‘Now Rachel I know you had a baby at the end of last year, how are you adjusting to parenthood in lockdown, how’s that been for you?’  

Rachel responded: ‘Well we’re quite fortunate in a way, I was supposed to be back at work, Pasha was supposed to be on tour, and it’s kind of enforced maternity and paternity leave we didn’t have before so we’re loving it…

‘She’s just over five months, I’ve left her in bed in kind of the same sleeping position as Pash, if you hear crying it could be either one of them I have no idea.’

Jamie admitted lockdown ‘fits’ having a young baby, to which Rachel responded: ‘Yeah we couldn’t go out in the evenings anyway because she refused a bottle…

‘So I needed to be with her and I just developed all the bad habits they tell you not to do because I’m here… 

‘My mother in law, she was over from Russia visiting me and she got here with the Russian borders closing so I’ve got a live-in babysitter as well so as lockdowns go, we’re really lucky and can’t complain.’

Lucy queried: ‘Are you coping well with each other as well? I mean I’ll put my hands up and say my boyfriend and I have had a fair few tiffs during lockdown. It can get a little bit much sometimes, how have you faired?’

Rachel said: ‘I mean we’re just in the new baby glow…

‘Thankfully the weather has been lovely and every day I wear my sling which is guaranteed some sleep and I just got to the park and the sun is shining , and all the ducklings are coming out so it’s quite lovely.

Speaking to MailOnline, Rachel went on: ‘I’ve developed bad habits because there’s now this enforced maternity leave that Pasha and I wouldn’t have had otherwise. So we are home with Maven all the time. That means we’ve got a very happy baby!’
