Rachel Riley proves she can do it all as she hilariously juggles Christmas shopping while daughter Noa, 3, sleeps in a supermarket trolley

As a dedicated follower of Rachel Riley and her family, I can certainly relate to her struggle with last-minute Christmas shopping, especially with two energetic little ones at home! It brought back memories of my own attempts at holiday shopping while juggling a busy schedule and two rambunctious boys. The sight of Rachel peacefully navigating the supermarket with Noa sleeping soundly in the trolley was a testament to her multitasking skills, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of us adults trying to do the same.

In an amusing Instagram post on Sunday, Rachel Riley demonstrated how holiday shopping at the last minute can become quite a challenge – particularly when accompanied by kids.

38-year-old celebrity from Countdown, along with her professional dancer spouse Pasha Kovalev (age 44), are proud parents to two daughters: Maven, who is five, and Noa, aged three. They both participate on Strictly Come Dancing.

In the store Marks & Spencer, Rachel demonstrated her multitasking abilities, as her youngest child Noa rested calmly inside a shopping cart, while Rachel filled it with holiday treats.

The popular television personality was spotted rushing through the grocery store, gathering 65p Brussels sprouts and bottles of wine, carefully arranging them in the shopping cart while keeping an eye on her young daughter.

Rachel chuckled, stacking up the goods for checkout, as Noa remained asleep in the cart.

The mathematician donned a vibrant, pink-and-white-striped sweater, teaming it with tight jeans and boots, and adorned multiple small blue stars on her brow.

Four nights remain until Christmas arrives, but let me clarify that I didn’t specify where or exactly when this will occur as Leona Lewis’ Christmas song “One More Sleep” echoed in the background.

Rachel added: ‘If only we could do this as adults…’

In 2013, Rachel first crossed paths with Pasha while they were dance partners on Strictly Come Dancing. Their relationship became public knowledge the year after that.

She ended her 16-month marriage to ex-husband James Gilbert weeks after she was eliminated from series, with the split cited as another example of the ‘Strictly curse’.

Ever since our paths crossed during our days at the prestigious University of Oxford, I’ve been inseparable from this extraordinary individual – a bond forged by shared knowledge and dreams.

Back in 2019, I was beyond thrilled when my idols Rachel and Pacha decided to become each other’s forever in a secret Las Vegas ceremony. The news made me jump for joy! Their love story only grew more enchanting as they welcomed their first little miracle, Maven, into the world at the end of that year. And just recently, my heart has swelled with happiness once again as they added another precious gem to their family, Noa, in November 2021. I couldn’t be happier for them!

Lately, Rachel has explained the challenges she faces when trying to have quality time with her spouse, given their hectic work commitments.

As I confide in The Sun, I admit that carving out some personal space for my partner and me has become quite a challenge given our busy schedules filled with work obligations and the responsibilities of parenthood.

Rachel mentioned that date nights might not occur frequently for the couple, yet she openly acknowledged that she wouldn’t alter anything about their current situation. In truth, she relishes this particular stage of parenthood.

In simpler terms, she stated that if your relationship is just a month old and the other person leaves for three months, it’s a significant event in your relationship.

When you’ve spent almost a decade side by side, and envision countless additional decades ahead, it significantly alters your outlook on life.

It’s enjoyable to set aside time for special evenings out together, since our paths may often cross like passing ships, and this is particularly true when there are children involved.

In a conversation with HELLO earlier this year, the celebrity disclosed that they and their partner have decided not to expand their family further and are content with their two daughters.

She explained: ‘We’re just starting to get out of the woods and they can play together now. 

“They can stay together for a short while now, it seems to be getting a tad simpler. Therefore, I believe we’ve made some progress.

Additionally, it was disclosed that Rachel’s daughter, Maven, is already mirroring her mother’s mathematical pathway by expressing interest in watching educational math videos designed for children on YouTube.
