Ever since becoming a mom, Chanel West Coast has focused somewhat less on herself and rather a lot more on her daughter Bowie Breeze. “You begin to place your kids completely before you and you actually lose all selfishness,” Chanel, 35, exclusively told Hollywood Life while celebrating her “Talk Is Low cost” single. “That’s something that I actually appreciate about being a mom.”
After welcoming her baby girl with longtime boyfriend Dom Fenison in November 2022, Chanel was approached to take part in an unscripted reality show for MTV. Before signing on, the previous Ridiculousness star thought of her daughter.
“I never thought that I’d wish to have my child really be within the industry,” Chanel shared. “I desired to at all times have a toddler with a standard life and a extremely normal healthful life that I didn’t fully get myself. But in addition, since I used to be little, I’ve had dreams of music and acting.” Looking back on her childhood, Chanel said, “If I had a mom already doing what I desired to do, I’d have had a much easier road.”
While she doesn’t know what her daughter will probably be concerned about pursuing when she gets older, Chanel believes “if the show can assist facilitate her goals and dreams, then I believe it’s a tremendous thing.”
“I saw an article today about Kendall Jenner and all these people within the comments were like, ‘Oh, she’s only a nepo baby’ after which it hit me,” Chanel explained. “I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, my daughter goes to be a nepo baby’ and that type of sucks when persons are just discrediting you in your labor simply because you occur to be born right into a family where you had it somewhat easier. I do think that that is an important opportunity for Bowie in that sense.”
While MTV has yet to announce a premiere date for the show, viewers can expect to see Chanel in a complete recent way. In any case, cameras were rolling as she launched into a brand-new chapter of motherhood.
“It is a whole other side of me that folks haven’t got to see on this scale,” she teased. “You’re gonna see me crying. You’re gonna see me interacting with my friends. You’re gonna see me struggling in my music profession and struggling as a mom attempting to balance that and it’s just a complete, in-depth look into my life that my fans really haven’t got to see before.”
As Mother’s Day weekend approaches, Chanel – who hosts “The Laugh” podcast – can’t help but gush over her 18-month-old daughter’s personality. Described as a “little feisty Scorpio,” Bowie is praised by her mom as smart and athletic.
“There are some things she does at the newborn gym that some 4-year-old kids aren’t even in a position to do,” Chanel said with fun. “Her dad’s very athletic. Perhaps she’s gonna go more down the athlete route than doing music and entertainment. Who knows? She’s just very athletic and likes to run and she or he doesn’t like to sit down still.”
Perhaps the identical may very well be said for Chanel. Along with filming a reality show, hosting a podcast and being the CEO of Coasty Swim, the brand new mom continues to work on recent music as an independent artist. She expects to release a brand new album this summer and is working on one other body of labor inspired by motherhood.
“Now that I’m a mom, all this recent music I’m writing for the following album is rather a lot more love songs,” she teased. “It’s rather a lot more comfortable. I’m in a a lot better place now. So the music definitely has switched up now that I even have Bowie in my life.”
While her daughter has brought a complete recent level of happiness to her life, Chanel said she continues to be debating whether a sibling may very well be in her future. For now, it’s all about savoring the current and celebrating all of the successes at home.
“I at all times desired to have multiple children. I’m such a child form of person,” she said. “But it surely has been a really, very hard struggle to get my body back. I went through rather a lot and I did have a high-risk pregnancy and sometimes, I don’t know if my body can undergo that again…I don’t think women get enough credit for that especially women who’ve multiple kids. It’s like, dude, your body goes through a lot and I’m just somewhat scared to place my body through all of that again.”
If there’s anything motherhood has taught Chanel, nevertheless, it’s the easy concept that she will be able to accomplish anything she puts her mind to.
“I’m frickin superwoman,” she said with fun. “How am I doing this after I’m consistently not getting the very best sleep and still started working and do all of my things? It’s like a superpower. I’m not even joking. Motherhood just motivates you a lot and makes you are feeling like if I can do that, I can do anything.”
