Pasha Pashkov Goes Blonde as the DWTS Tour Winds Down
Pasha Pashkov has yet to win a Mirrorball trophy, but he remains one of the most beloved pro dancers on “Dancing With the Stars.” He’s known for his patient, demure nature and forms lifelong friendships with many of his dance partners.
During DWTS season 34, he and his partner Danielle Fishel finished in 8th place. Nevertheless, they became fan favorites among viewers. Many were delighted to see them perform on tour together.
But now that the 2026 Live tour is drawing to a close, Pasha took the opportunity to shake up his appearance.
“Update has been successfully installed😉” Pasha shared on Instagram. He simply wrote, “Pasha 4.0 loading…” over the video as he unveils his stunning blonde hair.
It’s quite a stark change from his natural brunette color, but the public loved the upgrade.
“Literally the hottest man alive,” his wife Daniella Karagach excitedly wrote in the comments. Plenty of other “Dancing With the Stars” pros agreed, noting that Pasha looked exquisite as a blonde.
“I’m so here for this,” Peta Murgatroyd added. Pasha’s season 32 partner Ariana Madix simply added several clapping emojis.
The Pashkovs Talk Traveling & Performing With Their Family
Not everyone would enjoy working alongside their spouse, but Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov wouldn’t have it any other way.
In an interview with “Good Morning America,” the couple described being on the road as a family.
“I mean, it’s kinda easy,” Daniella described performing onstage with her husband. “You don’t have to fake any chemistry. You kinda have it from the get-go. He’s pretty hot, so it’s very easy for me.”
The couple laughed and shared a sweet kiss before describing life on tour with a toddler. Their daughter Nikita turns 3 in May.
“This is her third tour,” Daniella continued, adding that it’s been an exceptional learning experience for the little girl. “She’s done more tours than some of the pros.”
This year, Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson also brought their son, three-year-old Rome, along. Daniella and Pasha said he’s been the perfect playmate for their daughter.
“She’s in love with him,” Daniella joked about Nikita. Pasha added that she was the only baby on the road for the first two years of her life. Adding Rome to the mix “changed the whole game.”
“They fight like a married couple. It’s very cute,” Daniella continued.
The “Dancing With the Stars” 2026 Live tour runs now through Wednesday, May 13 with a final stop in Akron, Ohio.
“Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro” premieres on Monday, July 13 with the season 35 premiere following in September.
