But these days she has a very different job and is the founder and principle designer at WFord Interiors.

Fans will remember Willa, 42, for hits including I Wanna Be Bad and she also appeared on Scott Disick’s reality show Flip It Like Disick in 2019.

Before teaming up with Scott, 40, she starred in the lead role of The Anna Nicole Smith Story, which depicted the tragic life of the Playmate and TV star.

The star – real name Amanda Lee Williford – also took part in Dancing with the Stars in 2006.

Willa married hockey player Mike Modano in August 2007 and they divorced six years later.

She and her second husband husband, NFL player Ryan Nece, welcomed their first child – a son called Elijah in 2016.

In 2019 Willa told the Hollywood Reporter: “I want to empower other women and let them know that it’s OK to pivot careers.

“Even if you don’t have a college degree, you’re still worthy of making a transition.

“I’ve been told, ‘You were a pop singer. Why should I think of you as an interior designer?’

“Well, you should take me seriously because I’ve worked my tush off, and it’s been seven years now that I’ve run my own company.”
