Rachel has said:
"Two weeks after we were expecting her this little one finally made an appearance!"
"After keeping us waiting she came so fast we didn’t get to hospital and was born in our bathroom with our amazing doula and wonderful St Mary’s midwives rushing over to be with us just in time!
"She’s absolutely perfect and Pasha and I are in newborn bliss. Couldn’t be more in love."
Rachel, who married Pasha behind closed doors earlier this year, was two weeks overdue when she went into labour.
The happy parents started dating after Rachels appearance on Dancing with the Stars in December 2013 of that year. They announced that they were expecting their first child together in May.
