Former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland sat down with VOGUE Australia to talk about her career, marriage and motherhood. The star sprinkled her black girl magic in the August issue of the magazine and shared how she almost didn’t marry her husband out of fear of loving on person forever, and how she found her sexy after having a baby.
“At the beginning, I was scared of the idea of loving one person. I was nervous about being with one person for the rest of my life. I’d had the worst relationships and I was so scared and said: ‘How about we take a break from dating?’ and he said: ‘What if we took a break from dating and God sent you a guy and that guy was me?’ And I was like click! I hung up the phone. I was scared, because I knew he was my husband in that moment. And I almost ran away from that, but I just embraced it. Marriage is awesome, it has its ups and downs, like anything in life, but it’s incredible. My husband is my rock, my best friend. He believes when I don’t, believes that anything can work and that anything is possible in such a positive light. I think he’s a freak sometimes, no-one can see things like that, but he’s a realist and he’s positive and he’s an asshole, but I love him for everything he does, like in the cutest way of an asshole.”
“I was like coming into that, people trying to say that women can’t be fly after having a baby,” she says on staying sexy after motherhood. “But J. Lo defied that and said it’s not the case, Bey did it … all these women do it and I was like: ‘Fuck it, I’m going to do that too.’ And that’s when I started to pick up the pace a little bit. Then I got into the studio and started to find the groove and now the groove is there, it’s rolling.”
She also has stunning images to accompany the interview. Slay!
