Nikki Webster reveals why no one knew about her second pregnancy

Nikki Webster shot to fame after her performances at the opening and closing ceremonies at the 2000 Olympics, but a lot has changed since then.

She’s now a mum-of-two and chatted to Kidspot about her son Malachi’s birth last year, which came as a shock to everyone.

“It wasn’t like I was holding it as a surprise, I think it just kind of happened,” she explained.

“Everyone was so busy and I was so busy with work but it’s going good, my little man is 14 weeks and he’s going amazing,” she gushed.

She owns three dance studios now and explained that his arrival came during peak concert season “so he’s been to a few dance concerts already.”

Nikki and her husband Matthew McMah are also parents to three-year-old daughter Skylah.

The Strawberry Kisses hit maker absolutely adores being a mum, but admits she couldn’t do it without the support she’s got.

“I feel very lucky to have one of each,” she explained.

“My parents are huge supporters of me and help me and I couldn’t do it without them so I’m lucky I’ve got good family support in that sense to help look after the kids when I’m working,” she said.

She didn’t know if she could love two kids

The mum-of-two worried about how her daughter would cope once the new baby came along, which is something every parent can relate to.

“It’s like I love this kid so much how am I going to love my next kid?” she explained.

But Nikki hasn’t had to worry about it and admitted Skylah has been “amazing”.

“She’s been the best big sister in the world, she helps, she changes nappies, she does absolutely everything and I can’t wait for their relationship to grow,” said the proud mum.

The work life juggle is tough

Nikki opened her first dance school the day after her 21st birthday and since then the business has grown to include three studios, with the first about to turn 10.

She juggles running the business with being a mum and admitted it is hard because you can’t switch off or take a day off, but it’s worth it.

“But I think it’s also about what I’m offering to my kids and what I’m showing my kids, that I can be a strong independent woman and I’m building a business and everything I do is for them, for their future,” she added.

Nikki’s talents have definitely carried on to her daughter

Skylah is definitely her mum’s mini me and Nikki explained she absolutely loves to dance and be on stage performing.

She believes that as long as kids feel happy and safe they will flourish.

The message they promote at the studio is “everyone is unique, everyone is different and it’s about us all working together and having a great time while we do it.”

Nikki is opening the doors to all three studios for kids to come along and do a class for free during their 2018 Open Days later this month.
