The announcement of Pashkov’s win came as a surprise during a live episode of the dance competition show on 20th October. Expressing her delight, Daniella, who is 33, remarked on the significance of the recognition, stating, “It’s amazing to have this publicly presented [and] celebrated, how hot my husband is.” Her excitement reflects a mixture of personal pride and the thrill of public acknowledgment.
During a recent interaction on the show, Daniella shared her plans to celebrate with a party, much to the playful chagrin of her dance partner, Ezra Frech. When Frech suggested a gathering, Daniella jokingly replied, “I’m throwing a party tonight, but you’re not invited. I’m so sorry. No one is invited!” Her humorous remark drew laughter, with Frech teasingly responding, “Ahh, what the heck? Keep that to yourself girl, please! I don’t need to hear that.” Unfazed, Karagach affirmed her intention to celebrate her husband’s achievement.
Pashkov’s win would not have been possible without the dedicated support of his wife, who actively campaigned for him during the voting period. Shortly after the nominations were revealed, Daniella shared a captivating video featuring Pashkov in a dance studio. Set to a narrated piece about “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” the video showcased Pashkov as he unbuttoned his shirt and approached the camera, a moment that clearly struck a chord with voters. The caption, “And he’s mine 😏 #dwts,” highlighted her pride and affection for him.
In addition to Pashkov’s victory, the day was notable for another celebrity family. On 21st October, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos made an announcement via their show, ‘Live with Kelly and Mark,’ revealing that their son, Joaquin, had earned the title of Sexiest Broadway Debut for his role in ‘Death of a Salesman.’ Ripa expressed her astonishment at her son’s recognition, reminiscing, “When I gave birth to this child 23 years ago, never would I dream that he would one day be named one of PEOPLE Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive. I thought he was cute; I thought he was adorable.”
Mark Consuelos chimed in, affirming Ripa’s sentiments by adding, “He’s pretty cute.” The proud parents discussed Joaquin’s success in a bustling Broadway scene, revealing that he had surpassed other nominees, including Joe Keery from ‘Other Desert Cities,’ Luke Evans from ‘Rocky Horror Show,’ and Bowen Yang from ‘Oh, Mary!’ Ripa humorously disclosed that she had cast her vote for Yang, prompting a laugh-filled moment between the couple.
With these recognitions, both Pashkov and Joaquin represent a blend of talent and charm, as celebrated by fans and readers alike. The outcome of PEOPLE’s Readers’ Choice Poll has indeed shone a spotlight on these individuals, inciting joy and celebration within their respective families.
As the festivities unfold, the positive responses from their families and peers highlight not only the individual accomplishments of Pashkov and Joaquin but also the supportive relationships that underpin these successful careers. The future seems bright for both young men as they continue to make their mark in the entertainment industry, celebrated for their talents and the charisma that captivates audiences everywhere.
