Rosette spills the tea on everything The Mommy Club, from why she joined to the drama that keeps viewers hooked.
As a model and someone with prior experience in reality television, what drew you to The Mommy Club?
What drew me to The Mommy Club was the opportunity to share a different side of myself. As someone who is often in the spotlight, it’s easy for people to see only one dimension of who I am. I wanted to be part of something real and authentic, something that truly connects with people. As a mother, I love the idea of connecting with other women who are navigating similar experiences. Having been on reality TV before, I knew this would be an exciting chance.
How was your experience filming the reality show?

Filming The Mommy Club was an incredible experience. It was fun, emotional, and sometimes challenging, but overall, I loved every moment. Balancing motherhood and my career while being on camera was a learning curve. It gave me a chance to reflect on my growth. The connections I made with some of the moms were genuine, and I’m grateful for the journey.
Which moms did you gravitate towards, and why?
Noksie and Mrs J. I tend to gravitate towards them because they’re real with me and aren’t trying to be something they’re not. I respect moms who are open about their struggles, especially when it comes to the tough moments. It felt natural to connect with them.
What unique qualities are you bringing to the show?
I bring a mix of elegance, strength, and realness. I also offer a level-headed, mature perspective to the group, while still knowing how to have fun.
Is there something specific you hope viewers gain from your appearances?
I hope viewers take away that it’s okay to be human, flaws and all. We all face challenges, and it’s important to handle them in your own way, without trying to live up to anyone else’s expectations. I want people to feel empowered to be themselves, stand up for what’s right, and still be kind. It’s about showing up for yourself and your loved ones, even on the tough days.
Was there anything you learned about yourself during filming?
Absolutely! One of the biggest things I learned is that I’m capable of handling more than I give myself credit for. Filming showed me that I can be flexible, but also firm in what I stand for. I realised that while I can be strong in tough situations, it’s also okay to embrace the moments that make me feel vulnerable. Both sides of me are important.
How would you describe your mothering style, and what inspires it?
My mothering style is a balance of structure and warmth. I believe in setting boundaries and instilling good values, but I also make sure my children feel loved, supported, and heard. My inspiration comes from my own upbringing, as well as my desire to raise confident, kind, and independent children.
Why should people tune in and watch the show?
Because it’s real and entertaining! The Mommy Club isn’t just about motherhood - it’s about powerful women navigating life, love, friendships, and personal growth. It’s filled with laughter, drama, and heartfelt moments that viewers will relate to, whether they’re moms or not. Plus, you’ll get to see a side of me you’ve never seen before! Whether you love me or not, there’s something in the show for everyone.
New episodes of The Mommy Club Season 3 land every Saturday on Showmax from 15 February 2025.
