‘Motherhood Surprised Me’ – Dannii Minogue Admits She Thought Kylie Would Be The First To Start A Family

"I was scared of everything."

She’s a mum to three-year-old Ethan but Dannii Minogue has admitted she thought Kylie was more likely to have children than her.

According to Now Magazine, the former X Factor judge said that she had no maternal feelings before starting a family of her own and had always been awkward around children in the past. The 42-year-old gave birth to son Ethan with ex-boyfriend Kris Smith in July 2010.

“Motherhood surprised me. Before I had my son I didn’t feel maternal. I was never ever thinking about having kids. I was just working and enjoying work,” she said.

“Even when my brother Brendan had his two boys, Kylie would get on the floor and roll around with them but I was like, “Oh, I don’t know how to hold them,” and scared of everything. But now I love it.”
