Katherine Jenkins tends to keep her children out of the limelight, but on Thursday the opera singer couldn't help sharing a gorgeous photo with her daughter Aaliyah. The little girl melted hearts as she was pictured running along the beach next to her gorgeous mama, leaving tiny footprints in the sand. "Me & my girl..." Katherine simply wrote.
"You have the cutest jogging partner!!" one fan replied to her Instagram snap, while a second couldn't believe how big Aaliyah has grown, writing: "She's getting so big!" "Following mummy's footsteps," another commented.
Home sweet home with Katherine Jenkins:
Katherine is the proud mum to Aaliyah – full name Aaliyah Reign – who turns three in September and baby boy Xander Robert Selwyn, who was born in April. The Welsh beauty only rarely shares photos of her children but tends to keep their faces hidden to protect their privacy. She has only posted a handful of pictures of her son, including one to announce his arrival.

In a previous interview with HELLO! magazine, Katherine opened up about the joys of motherhood. "Everybody says, 'Your life will never be the same,' but I didn't expect to feel so chilled and relaxed about life," she said. "My husband and I love being parents and Aaliyah makes us so happy. She's fun, kind and affectionate – and a mummy's girl."
