With her seventh album about to drop, the sizzling singer/ dancer seems to have it all but wants more because no dream is too big. Here, she talks to Cosmo about faith, fitness, and her husbands goodies.
“Every day’s a blur,” she says. “There’s so much happening when you have two kids and work.” Right now, the 32-year-old spends most of her days in Bellevue, Washington, where she and her hottie Super Bowl–champ husband, Russell Wilson, live with her 4-year-old son and their 18-month-old daughter. She splits time between family days at the Seattle Seahawks’ training camp and basking in the success of “Level Up” and “Freak Me,” two singles off her new album (their videos launched a pair of viral dance challenges on Instagram). She’s also been deep in tour-prep mode.
And then there was her recent post-baby fitness routine: up to three workouts a day. “It was kind of like, wake up in the morning, breastfeed, eat a small meal, go train, come back in, breastfeed, eat another meal, go train, then come back, have another meal, and then a third training session at night,” she says, adding carefully: “It was a good challenge, one I set for myself, not for anyone else. Taking care of myself makes me feel really good. And I want to keep it sexy too, you know.”

One summer 2009 night, Julia's manager pulled her aside. A silver-haired gentleman's date was being kind of loud and messy-Julia should intervene, be extra nice to him. She got the okay to take the man up to the roof for a quiet smoke. This guy must be a big deal, she thought.
