Ezra Frech truly stuck the landing with one key relationship.
After his Dancing With the Stars partner Daniella Karagach introduced the Paralympic gold-medalist to her 3-year-old daughter Nikita, she reflected on how touching it was to watch the two become best friends.
“Honestly, it was so cool just watching them sit together on the couch,” Karagach told E! News in an exclusive interview following the Sept. 29 episode of Dancing With the Stars. “She was just petting his leg, and she thought he is Superman.”
As the pro dancer said, “She's obsessed with him, and just seeing him with her is really cool because they're literally besties.”
In fact, Karagach—who shares Nikita with fellow dance pro and husband Pasha Pashkov—noted her daughter is convinced Frech is superhuman.
“She literally says, ‘He's like Superman,’” she recalled. “He is. He is Superman.”
And the feeling is mutual for Frech, who added, “She’s so cute.”
But the 21-year-old isn’t just bonding with Nikita—he has also found new friends in Pashkov and his celebrity dance partner Amber Glenn.
“Having Posh and Amber, it feels like I have teammates in this in some way,” he shared. “When I see them around at the studio, or even right before we're about to go, it's just beautiful energy. It's nice to have that home base.”
