‘I'm happy to embrace my body after becoming a mum'

When the Pussycat Dolls first hit the charts in 2005 with their single Don’t Cha, they became renowned for their striking looks, slick dance routines and distinctive outfits. Since reforming in 2019 after a nine-year break, Kimberly Wyatt admits the pressure to fit a certain ideal back in the noughties was intense and insists she has a much better relationship with her body these days.

“It was very vocal that we had to look a certain way,” she says.

The 38-year-old reveals being a parent to Willow, six, Maple Lyla, three, and Ford, one, with husband Max Rogers has also changed her attitude towards her body. “I’m happy with who I am,” she says. “That takes a lot of practice and bravery and outwardly owning who you are.”

The band are set to go on tour in 2021 and Kimberly admits she’s throwing herself into an intense routine, but insists that it’s her stamina and strength she’s focused on, not her waistline.

Here, Kimberly opens up about body positivity, leaning on her bandmates for support and the thing that almost caused her to lose her place as a Doll…

How many workouts do you do a week?

If I’m at the height of my exercise regime, which I am now for the Pussycat Dolls tour, I do three to five sessions a week. I keep each workout a minimum of 30 minutes, whether I’m doing a dance drill, a jog, rowing or even jump rope.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to get fit in 2021?
