Overview
- Evgeny Vinokurov said on Instagram Sunday that his third child, a second daughter, was born healthy.
- He confirmed that he and RTL agreed he could go home for the birth, spend a short time with family, then return to the competition.
- The dancer raced to Bremen before Friday’s eighth live show when his wife was briefly hospitalized, then reached the Cologne studio only shortly before airtime.
- Despite the tight turnaround, he and partner Anna-Carina Woitschack delivered a Paso Doble that scored 30 points and drew chief judge Joachim Llambi’s “dance of the season” praise.
- Colleagues and the show’s official accounts posted public congratulations as the Let’s Dance community celebrated the family’s news.
