Early life and dance beginnings

Kimberly Wyatt was born in Warrensburg, Missouri, in the United States. She started dancing when she was just seven years old. By age 14, she won a special scholarship to study dance in New York. She trained at the famous Joffrey Ballet and the Broadway Dance Center.

Career highlights

The Pussycat Dolls era (2002–2009)

In 2002, Kimberly Wyatt started as a dancer on a TV comedy show. The next year, she was asked to join a new pop group called The Pussycat Dolls. The group included Nicole Scherzinger, Melody Thornton, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, and Jessica Sutta.

The Pussycat Dolls became very famous around the world. They had hit songs like "Don't Cha", "Stickwitu", and "Buttons". Their first album, PCD (2005), sold millions of copies. Kimberly was known for her amazing "standing oversplit" dance move in their music videos.

Later, they released their second album, Doll Domination (2008). This album featured more hits like "When I Grow Up". Even though they were very successful, the group faced some challenges. Because of these issues, Kimberly and other members left the group in 2010, and The Pussycat Dolls broke up for a while.

New projects and TV shows (2009–2018)

After leaving The Pussycat Dolls, Kimberly started new projects. From 2009 to 2014, she was a judge on the British dance competition show Got to Dance. In 2010, she was featured on the hit song "Candy" by Aggro Santos, which reached number five in the UK.

Also in 2010, Kimberly formed a pop duo called Her Majesty & the Wolves. She created this group with Spencer Nezey. They released their first album, 111, in 2011. The duo performed together for four years. In 2011, Kimberly also judged the American dance show Live to Dance.

Kimberly also appeared on other TV shows. In 2014, she competed in a winter sports show called The Jump. In 2015, she won the cooking competition show Celebrity MasterChef. From 2016 to 2018, she was a judge on the British dance show Taking The Next Step.

The Pussycat Dolls reunion and acting (2019–present)

From 2019 to 2021, Kimberly played a character named Sasha in the TV series Almost Never. In November 2019, The Pussycat Dolls announced they were getting back together! They released a new song called "React" in 2020. They planned a big world tour, but it was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The group's reunion ended in 2021.

In 2022, Kimberly competed on the ice-skating show Dancing on Ice. In November 2024, she started presenting on Hits Radio on Sunday evenings.
