Elsa Energy
If you were watching Dancing With the Stars for Mariah Carey night, you weren’t the only one feeling the fantasy. Pasha Pashkov’s 3-year-old daughter, Nikita, is apparently just as obsessed with the show as we are—and she’s got a very specific read on Pashkov’s partner, Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn.
When asked what nickname the toddler has for Glenn, Pashkov told E! News that Nikita would 100% call her "Elsa." It’s giving main character energy, especially since Glenn was performing a rumba to "Hero" in a sparkling blue chiffon gown. Pashkov even joked that the only thing missing to complete the Frozen transformation was a braid.
Bestie Status
Nikita clearly has a soft spot for the DWTS cast. Her mom, fellow pro Daniella Karagach, previously shared that their daughter is lowkey obsessed with Ezra Frech, whom she has affectionately dubbed "Superman." The two have been bonding behind the scenes, with Karagach noting they are "literally besties."
As for the connection between the pros and their partners, it’s not just all sequins and ballroom steps. Glenn even took Pashkov out on the ice earlier this season, which, real talk, sounded terrifying for everyone involved. "I swear to God, if I am in the news for injuring my partner before ever dancing with them, that's gonna be so bad," Glenn admitted. Thankfully, they survived the ice session, and now they’re back to securing those scores on the dance floor.
Why it matters
The behind-the-scenes dynamics of DWTS always live rent-free in our heads, and it’s wholesome to see the younger generation of the dance family building real bonds with the show’s celebrity contestants.
