Smooth Radio star Myleene Klass has made an impassioned defence of her children against 'nepo baby' accusations, following her departure from the airwaves this week.
The 45-year-old presenter cut an effortlessly stylish figure as she left Global's London studios, showcasing her toned legs in a pair of crisp white mini-shorts paired with a matching blazer.
Klass, who looked every inch the fashion icon with her oversized sunglasses and designer handbag, didn't hesitate to address the growing controversy surrounding celebrity offspring when approached by reporters.
'They Work Incredibly Hard'
'My children are not nepo babies,' Klass stated emphatically. 'They work incredibly hard. People don't see what happens behind the scenes - the tears, the hard work, the sweat.'
Her passionate comments come amid increasing scrutiny of celebrities' children who follow their parents into the entertainment industry, with many critics labelling them as beneficiaries of unearned privilege.
A Family of Achievers
Klass shares daughters Ava, 16, and Hero, 12, with ex-husband Graham Quinn, and son Apollo, 4, with partner Simon Motson. She fiercely defended their work ethic and individual talents:
- Ava's dedication to her musical pursuits
- Hero's commitment to her chosen activities
- The family's emphasis on hard work and perseverance
'They're up against everyone else who's had the same opportunities, and they have to be the best,' Klass added, highlighting the competitive nature of their endeavours.
Radio Departure and Future Projects
The presenter's defence comes as she steps away from her Smooth Radio show, where she has been a weekend favourite for years. While her future radio plans remain unconfirmed, Klass continues to be a prominent figure in the entertainment industry with various projects in development.
Her departure from Smooth Radio marks the end of an era for listeners who have enjoyed her weekend shows, though industry insiders suggest she may be pursuing new opportunities in broadcasting.
As the debate about privilege in the entertainment industry continues, Klass's vehement defence of her children adds an important personal perspective to the conversation about opportunity, talent, and family legacy in the public eye.
