Making the most of the their permitted one hour daily exercise slot, the cute family took in the much-needed sunshine.

Wearing dark sunglasses and dressed casually, they both carried rucksacks for any baby-related emergencies.

While baby Maven took it easy in a fashionable leopard print baby carrier.

Rachel and Strictly dancer Pasha, who tied the knot last year, became parents in December, with Maven arriving two weeks after her due date.

Rachel, 34, announced her daughter's birth on Twitter and explained how Maven arrived so fast the shocked first-time parents couldn't get to hospital on time.

So Rachel gave birth in her bathroom at home with midwives rushing over to help with the dramatic delivery.

She wrote: "2 weeks after we were expecting her this little one finally made an appearance!"

She added: "Miss Maven (one who understands) Aria (lioness) Riley Kovaleva arrived on Sunday morning weighing in at 7lbs 4.

"After keeping us waiting she came so fast we didn’t get to hospital & was born in our bathroom with our amazing doula & wonderful St Mary’s midwives rushing over to be with us just in time!

"She’s absolutely perfect & Pasha & I are in newborn bliss. Couldn’t be more in love."
