Kimberley Walsh always tries to be 'mindful' with what she puts out on social media

The 42-year-old pop star - who has Bobby, nine, Cole, seven, and three-year-old Nate with her husband Justin Scott - doesn't want to spread any kind of "negativity" with her online presence and tries to show the "good stuff" in her life but doesn't feel like she needs to be posting constantly to begin with.

She told OK! Magazine: "I’m mindful of everything that I post. The last thing I’d ever want to do is make anyone feel bad or in any way negative because of social media. I do show my reality but equally I don’t delve too deep. I’m not of the generation where every last thing is posted.

"I do tend to post only the good stuff because that’s the only time I ever think to get my camera out! I don’t ever think to record a bad situation. It’s not that we don’t have the usual toddler tantrums and things like that, but I just wouldn’t have time to get my phone out and film! Respect to people who can document everything, but I just don’t give it too much thought. I think it’s a generational thing."

Kimberley is best known as part of the BRIT Award-winning pop group Girls Aloud alongside Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and the late Sarah Harding - who died in 2021 at the age of 39 following a battle with breast cancer - and after she and her surviving bandmates headed out on the road for the first time in over a decade earlier this year, her kids were "a bit taken aback" to see the intense fame that comes with their mother's career.

She said: "At first they were a bit taken aback, thinking, 'What’s going on?!' But once they got their heads round it they loved it, and they’ve got this newfound street cred at school!

"It’s totally new to them, but even Nate, who’s three, understands it all, which is crazy. Bobby totally gets it, and Cole loves watching us on stage and loves the band and the music – but I’m not sure he loves that it’s me doing it. He just wants me to be his mum, which I totally appreciate."
