Take a look at 10 of Rachel's cutest photos of daughters Maven and Noa…
Noa the cutey
Baby girl Noa is such a beauty in this recent snap shared by Rachel with her Instagram fans.
The star wrote: "Is there a word for the day your baby has been on the outside longer than they were on the inside!?
"This one cooked for 9 months and 15 days and today she’s exactly that old! We first saw her on an early scan before you could even detect a heartbeat, just short of 6 weeks when she was only 3mm long. Bonkers that she’s running around, climbing stairs and dancing already. Happy whatever today’s called day Noa."

Sleeping on Daddy
Not us feeling broody from this photo, nope!
Rachel shared the photo of baby Noa sleeping in the sling on dad Pasha back in March amd wrote: "Apparently it’s World Sleep Day today - definitely one of those 'days' I can get behind! So there’s no better day for a couple of thank yous for baby gadgets that guarantee sleep for them, which means sleep for us too (thank god!).
"@artipoppe @happiest_baby_uk @cybexuk we love you and we’d never have babies without you. Donations made to @savechildrenuk Ukraine and Afghanistan appeals and @wearelumos to pay it forward for the kind gifts."

Newborn Noa
A proud mum and dad held baby Noa up to present her to the world following her birth, telling fans: "We have some news…!"
"Introducing Pasha’s newest dance partner - baby Noa was finally born, 15 days after her due date, late on Friday night to the sound of fireworks! She’s totally adorable and her big sister Maven has already tried welcoming her to the world by offering Oatly and pickles, we think that’s a good sign.
"Massive thanks to the wonderful home birth midwives team and my doula who looked after us all so well. Ps thanks too to my namesake @rachelrileyuk for the lovely rainbow baby clothes for our gorgeous rainbow baby. Our family feels complete now she’s here."
Maven the Nirvana baby
Little Maven looks just like the baby on the Nirvana album cover in this adorable snap, taken during her swimming lesson.
Rachel posted: "Over a year delayed because of lockdowns we finally have this priceless @waterbabies pic. Thanks for signing us up early on, judging by our recent holiday where Mave was barely out of the pool, the lessons are working! We’ve paid forward the favour by donating to #WaterBabies favourite charity @tommys."
