Kristina has said she’s happy she waited to have children until the age of 38 – it even has her feeling younger.
The professional Russian dancer gave birth to a beautiful little girl named Mila in June 2016, and has said she needed to wait until she was mentally prepared.
The 40-year-old dancer had always wanted a family but that idea took the backseat due to her wanting a fruitful career.
Speaking to MailOnline, Kristina said;
“My career took me from a small city in Russia all over the world. I wanted to be the best dancer I could be and it took a lot of hard work and dedication.
“I don’t regret having a family later in life as I could never say that I sacrificed my career for a family. I also feel that it happened at the right time when I was mentally ready for it.”
She highlighted the fact that she needed to be in a space where she was satisfied, before starting a family, which she did with former England rugby player Ben Cohen after meeting during Strictly.
“It’s all about my family and my child and I want to look and feel good for them.”
Since giving birth to her little girl, Kristina has created a clothing range with PiaMichi of which she says;
“I really wish the taboo about women at 40 not being able to dress like the younger generation – or perhaps not make new career choices – would go away.”
Don’t we all.
