Abbey Clancy struggles with ‘mum guilt’ as she works to ‘set a good example’ for her four children

Abbey Clancy has candidly revealed that she still struggles with ‘mum guilt’ as she juggles motherhood with her busy modelling career.

The fashion star, 34, said that she tries to ‘set a good example’ to her four children with her busy schedule, as she wants to keep working and be ‘the best mum she can be.’

Abbey welcomed her fourth child Jack in June 2019 with her husband Peter Crouch. The couple are also parents to daughters Sophia, eight, Liberty, four, and son Johnny, two.

Abbey told OK! that she’s still trying to figure out the dynamic of being a working mum of four, saying: ‘I think for any mum who has to or chooses to go to work, you still get stuck with that mum guilt. 

‘But for me, I feel like it’s important to set a good example for them. I want to work and still be me while being the best mum I can be. 

‘They are into different things and have different schedules now. Poor Sophia gets dragged along to more baby-ish places than she’d probably like to.’

Abbey added that she tries to split up the activities she takes her four children to due to their range of ages, and also tries to find things that they can all enjoy such as a trip to the farm.

The blonde beauty also said that since he retired from football last year her husband Peter has been busier than ever, meaning that sometimes it can be just the smaller moments that they spend together. 

Earlier this week Abbey unveiled her new fashion collaboration with Lipsy, which she showcased during a stunning shoot in Cape Town, South Africa.

The model flaunted her incredible svelte physique in a selection of her 30 piece clothing range, which included an electric blue thigh slit dress.

The evening range also includes a blush lace floor-length dress with semi-sheer panelling as well as a jaw-dropping midnight blue gown.

Abbey recently shared the secrets behind maintaining her incredible figure, admitting that it’s down to both genetics and a healthy fitness routine.

The media personality told Closer magazine in November: ‘I generally eat what I want to in moderation. I don’t really struggle with my weight too much, so I don’t have to be focused on what not to eat.

‘Everyone in my family is slim and tall. My mother bounced back after kids, so I think my genes are a huge part of it.

‘I’ve been doing more core work for fitness. After having my third baby, I did feel quite weak and tired… Doing your pelvic floor exercises and working on your core, you just feel stronger.’
