The brainy TV star is married to professional dancer Pasha Kovalev – with the pair meeting during their stint on Strictly in 2013. While the pair have been together for over a decade now, Rachel recently shared how tough it can be to find quality time with her husband due to their busy working schedules.
Speaking to The Sun, she revealed that date nights can be rare but she wouldn’t change a thing. She confessed: “When you first get together, if they’re away for three months and you’ve only been together a month, it’s a big deal.”

She added: “But when you’ve been together the best part of a decade and you can see a future of how ever many more decades that you get together, it kind of changes your perspective. It’s nice to have date nights especially as we can be ships that pass in the night, especially when you have kids as well.”
Rachel told HELLO earlier this year that she and Pasha are happy with their two girls and don’t plan on having any more children together. Speaking to the publication she confessed: “We’re just starting to get out of the woods and they can play together now.
She went on: “They can be left together for a little bit, it’s starting to get a little bit easier. So I think we’re on that note.”
