This season, Karagach is partnered with singer Jason Mraz, while Pashkov is dancing with Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix. Karagach told Us Weekly that she’s “so excited to be back” after giving birth to her daughter.
“It was an amazing three months at home with her and now it’s just I got to get back on my feet so I can help her more,” Karagach shared, adding that Pashkov’s parents live in Los Angeles and will be helping take care of Nikita while they compete.
Karagach also joked about playdates between the Dancing with the Stars babies. Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy have an 8-month-old son named Rome, while Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy welcomed son Rio in June.
“We already organized [that] they should be all wearing the Dancing with the Stars sign and with the sparkles, so hopefully we make that happen,” Karagach said, while her partner Mraz said there will be “a lot of sequin onesies.”
