Life and career edit

1982–2002: Early life and career beginnings edit

Kimberly Wyatt was born on February 4, 1982, in Warrensburg, Missouri.[1][2] Her father was truck driver and her mother was his secretary.[3] In June 2020, Wyatt revealed she has severed her relationship with her parents due to their views on race adding "[they] are so fundamentally different."[4] Inspired by Olympic athletics, she began doing gymnastics at the age of seven. She later became more interested into dance, training in ballet, tap and jazz.[5] She began competing regionally, winning Miss Dance in America, which influenced her to pursue a career in dance.[6] At the age 14 she earned scholarships and during a summer she trained in New York's Joffrey Ballet and Broadway Dance Center.[5][6] After high school, she worked for the Royal Caribbean International for a year; her first professional gig as a dancer.[6] In hopes of working in film and television, Wyatt moved to Los Angeles seeking out auditions while working in a Pizza Hut restaurant and as a telemarketer.[7] Her first LA gig came in 2002 appearing as Fly Girl on the comedy sketch show, Cedric the Entertainer Presents.[8]

2003–2010: The Pussycat Dolls edit

In 2003, Wyatt auditioned for Nick Lachey and was spotted by choreographer Robin Antin, founder of the burlesque dance troupe the Pussycat Dolls. Antin took a liking into Wyatt and invited her to perform as part of the group.[citation needed] The group's founder Robin Antin, struck a deal with Interscope Geffen A&M Records' Jimmy Iovine to develop the Pussycat Dolls into a brand and create a separate recording pop group.[9] After a series of changes, the final line-up consisted of Wyatt, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Sutta, and Melody Thornton.[10] and signed a contract with the Pussycat Dolls partnership, receiving a percentage of the group's revenues.[9] The group released their first single, "Don't Cha" (featuring Busta Rhymes), which stands as group's most successful single to date peaked number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached the top in other 15 countries.[11][12] They released their self-titled debut album in September 2005. Subsequent singles, "Stickwitu and "Buttons" also reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[13] PCD went on to sell seven million copies worldwide and established the Pussycat Dolls as viable in the music industry earning them a reputation among the century's few breakout successes.[14][15]

Their second and final studio album Doll Domination was released in September 2008, the album attained its highest peak position on the US Billboard 200, but it is considered a commercial disappointment selling less than 400,000 copies in the US.[16] Doll Domination included the singles "When I Grow Up" and "I Hate This Part", which reached the top twenty on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.[17] In January 2009, the group embarked on the Doll Domination Tour, their second headlining concert tour, which highlighted stops in Europe, Oceania and Asia,[18] and grossed over $14 million.[a] In the meantime, tensions erupted within the group as Wyatt and other members where dissatisfied with the label's decision to credit Scherzinger as a featured artist on "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)".[20]

2010–2019: Post-Pussycat Dolls work edit

In February 2010, Wyatt announced her departure from the the Pussycat Dolls citing "money and fame can't buy happiness" and pursued a solo career in the United Kingdom.[3][21] Her first work outside the group was a feature on Aggro Santos' debut single, "Candy".[22] Released in May 2010, the single reached the top five on the UK Singles Chart.[23]

Personal life edit

Beginning 2010, she established herself in the United Kingdom.[2] In 2011, she began a relationship with model Max Rogers, and they became engaged in September 2013. The couple married in a private ceremony in February 2014.[24] They have three children together; Willow, Maple, and Senna.[3] Wyatt revealed in October 2019 that she was sterilized after giving birth to her third child.[2] She currently resides in Surrey with Rogers and their children.[3]
