Born on 19th January 1980 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia, Pasha Kovalev turned 41-years-old on his birthday in 2021. Riley, also a Capricorn, was born on 11th January 1986, making her 35-years-old in 2021.

Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev's children
In May 2019, Riley announced she was expecting their first child and in June that year, Riley and Kovalev tied the knot in a Vegas wedding. Their daughter, Maven Aria, arrived on 15th December.
The couple announced they were expecting their second child in April 2021 and on 5th November, Riley gave birth to another daughter, who they named Noa.
Riley said on Instagram she had a home birth and thanked her midwives and doula (a person who acts as a birthing coach) in the post. Riley also said that Noa is a "rainbow baby," which means she is the baby born subsequently after one was sadly lost either through miscarriage, still birth or infant mortality.
