‘Dancing With the Stars’: Daniella Karagach Claps Back at Pregnancy Rumors

Daniella Karagach is sick of people making assumptions about her body. The Dancing With the Stars pro responded to recent comments from social media users asking if she’s pregnant.

“It’s 2026 and we’re still assuming people are pregnant after they’ve just had a full burger and dessert? Really?” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Let’s normalize not commenting if a woman is pregnant just because you’re used to seeing her a certain way. I’m on break and enjoying every minute of it.”

Karagach spent the first several months of 2026 on the DWTS live tour and is now enjoying a few weeks off before her schedule heats up again (the Dancing With the Stars Season 35 cast has not been confirmed yet, but Karagach is expected to be part of the show).

She concluded her message by writing, “There are people currently going through things, I think y’all need to be a bit more sensitive and if I do get pregnant in the near future, let me be the one to tell you. Peace out. I’m gonna go enjoy some food.”

Karagach has been married to fellow DWTS pro Pasha Pashkov since 2014. They welcomed their first child, a daughter, in May 2023 after Karagach previously suffered a miscarriage at five weeks pregnant the year before.

“If it was one day, or a week, or five months, or three months, or one month, or whatever the timeline was, like, it was still a loss for me, and it was a huge loss,” Karagach said during a Good Morning America interview. “It was a baby, you know? So, it was something we’ve wanted and pictured ourselves [with].”

She said Pashkov got her out of a “really dark place” after the pregnancy loss. “We just truly believe that we need to trust and if it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen at the right time,” she added.
