She celebrates her body now, but there was a time the singer didn’t feel quite as bikini-ready.
The wind is picking up, the clouds are getting more ominous by the minute and there’s a chill in the air that’s hard to ignore. It’s anything but a sunny summer’s day in famously unpredictable Melbourne. But at 44 and glowing in a floral bikini, bubbly songstress Kate Ceberano doesn’t seem the least bit fussed about posing poolside in next to nothing.
“I don’t even notice the cold,” she says, grinning at the shivering Woman’s Day crew. “Maybe I’m built for endurance.”
“Kate’s such a trouper,” whispers her assistant. “She’s consistently professional and never complains, no matter what the weather is or what she’s wearing.” Indeed, looking truly fit and fabulous, Kate – a devoted mum to six-year-old daughter Gypsy – admits very little fazes her these days.
“I’ve become fearless about a lot of things in life,” she reflects. “But what I really am is fearless about getting involved in things, from eating beautiful food to swimming. There are people who find it difficult to experience those things because they’ve become self-conscious, but not me. I’m not going to live like that.”
Kate’s philosophy, she reveals, is “a little of what you fancy does you good”. “I’m comfortable with myself as a person,” she adds. “My body has become something that I can work through and something people can recognise me by, but I don’t add any more significance to it than that. I hope it looks like a fun, working body.
