Former Strictly star Kristina Rihanoffreveals she’s a different person since welcoming daughter Mila
From the moment we pick up the phone to former Strictly dancer Kristina Rihanoff, it’s clear she’s relishing every minute of being mum to Mila, her adorable 15-month-old daughter with partner Ben Cohen. Quickly telling us all about life with her energetic ‘little one’ (who we can hear singing and playing with her toys in the background), Kristina, who recently turned 40, explains she’s enjoying a brand-new chapter away from the sequins and sparkles. not only is she still dancing, but she’s also trained to be a yoga instructor and recently unveiled her own collection with fashion brand Pia Michi. Here, the star chats family life, the plus sides of growing older and being part of the new-found Strictly baby club…
‘I can’t believe how fast Mila is growing up. She started walking at the end of July and has been keeping me on my toes ever since! And she recently started nursery, which was quite a daunting experience. She was crying and it was so hard for us to leave her there, but actually the nursery staff said that once we leave, she’s absolutely fine. She’s basically just emotionally blackmailing us!’
