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.
