Nelly Furtado on life after split from husband: 'I'm single now!'

SINGER NELLY FURTADO ON SINGLE LIFE, CLEANING TOILETS AND CRYING ON STAGE

She shot to fame singing I'm Like A Bird back in in 2000 and Nelly is back with a new album and martial status.

Nelly revealed she has split from her husband of nine years, sound engineer Demacio Castellon, on the show today.

'I'm single now, someone needs to update my Wikipedia it’s not helping my dating life!' Nelly laughed on the show.

Nelly also talked about looking after her mental and physically health after juggling her musical career and motherhood - she has a daughter Nevis, now 13.

'At the height of my career, it was super exciting but I took too much on,' Nelly explained. 'A mother on the road trying to maintain a relationship... I cried on stage.'

'Touring with my daughter [Nevis] got very tiring. I was breastfeeding on the tour bus,' she added.

'You feel bad saying no, as women you’re nurturers and with a successful business you feel the pressure not to say no more than our male counterparts.

'I wrote and sung myself songs to get through a break-up. It soothes me.'

'Sometimes you just want to sit home and bake muffins for your daughter, cleaning my toilet, having a moment to yourself.'

'It's great to have your career take off and have those blessings, but if you don’t have that time, when you give and give you crash.

'I need to stay emotionally and physically well for my daughter.

'Don’t we always think we’re doing the wrong thing as mums. You have to have that fine line between them respecting you.'
