When we catch up with Kimberley Walsh, the 40-year-old is W reflecting on her youngest son Nate celebrating his first birthday. "I feel like I had him yesterday and now he's one, which is crazy, but he's such a good little boy," she says.
The milestone must also feel poignant for the former Girls Aloud singer because she says Nate will be her last baby as she has no intention of trying for a girl.
"I'm good with my little hat-trick," she laughs. As well as Nate, Kimberley is also mum to Bobby, seven, and Cole, five, with her husband Justin Scott.
Away from family life, the star has been busy presenting BBC's Morning Live alongside Gethin Jones, and she's just launched her first clothing collection with Dorothy Perkins.
This year also marks 20 years since Girls Aloud shot to fame, but after losing bandmate Sarah Harding to breast cancer last year, she admits the anniversary feels "different".
Here, Kimberley opens up about her time in the iconic band, returning to the stage, and why it was tough turning 40 with a five-month-old...
Hi, Kimberley. Your youngest son Nate recently turned one. How did you celebrate his first birthday?
I got a soft play for him in the garden. He's just started walking, literally a couple of weeks ago, so the soft play blew his mind. He was in heaven! He's such a happy little thing and he loved having all of the attention on his birthday. His brothers literally adore him. They know when they need to step in and try to help me entertain him. If anything, they smother him a bit too much. I have to tell them to give him a break.
Do you and Justin ever get the chance to make time for each other?
