Myleene Klass has reflected on feeling privileged to have had financial independence while raising her two daughters alone during her time as a single mum. The singer, 46, has daughter Ava, 17, and Hero, 13, with ex husband Graham Quinn. They were together for 12 years until Graham walked out on Myleene on her birthday in 2013, just six months after their wedding day.

She raised them as a single mother until she met current partner Simon Motson, 49, in 2015, with the couple welcoming their son Apollo in 2019. Speaking in a new Instagram post, the star noted that having the freedom to make choices for her children without the input of a partner 'empowered' her, as she told how 'proud' she was to be both mother and father to her girls.
