Strictly Come Dancing’s Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff play doting parents on day out with little girl

STRICTLY Come Dancing couple Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff couldn’t have looked happier playing the role of doting parents on a day out with their little girl.

The lovebirds – who controversially hooked up after starring together in the BBC show – made the most of the mini heatwave as they took daughter Milena on one of her first trips to the park.

Dressed in an adorable all-pink outfit the tot proved she was the apple of her parents’ eyes as they both made her the centre of attention.

Yummy mummy Kristina proved she’d put her arduous 19 and a half hour labour back in June firmly behind her, and was now relishing the chance to spend quality time with their recent arrival.

The ex Strictly professional dancer plucked her daughter up in the air and cooed as she stared into her eyes.

She then pulled her in close for a cuddle and nestled her on her shoulder as former rugby ace Ben unloaded their vehicle with essentials for their day out.

After carrying the child’s cot ion one hand, he whipped out the wheeled part of her carrier and began putting it together.

After popping Mila in her pram, it was Ben’s turn to get hands on.

Dressed in a blue t-shirt and matching shorts, he proudly pushed his youngest child down the street as the lovebirds headed to the park.

They were then seen chatting away as the sports star continued to weave the pushchair around the grassy space and beside a huge lake.

Taking the helm meant the Russian beauty, dressed in a smart white shirt and jeans, was free to carry her designer handbag in one hand while gesturing to her boyfriend as she described something in detail.

Later on, it seemed Ben needed to take care of some business on his phone and Kristina took over.

She stunned fans earlier this year when she announced she was pregnant while starring in reality show Celebrity Big Brother.

Kristina, 39, had first seen sparks fly with Ben after being paired up as his partner on Strictly.

Yet they insisted they hooked up only after Ben had spilt from his wife Abby, the mother to his twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle.

Earlier this month, the pair spoke out about becoming parents as they lifted the lid on the blonde’s terrifying labour.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Ben said: Every time Kristina pushed, the cord was pulling the baby back. There comes a point when it is not happening and you do worry.”

Meanwhile Kristina added: “I was squeezing his hand so hard that I thought I might break it. I can’t even begin to describe the pain, but it’s an incredibly proud moment when you see your baby for the first time. It’s an incredible feeling of love.

“It’s the feeling of being settled. I’m in a happy place. I feel a sense of security with Ben being next to me.”
