Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm says she made a "conscious" choice to keep her daughter out of the spotlight. Chisholm shares daughter Scarlet, 16, with ex-partner Thomas Starr, but despite her mom's global fame, the teenager has no plans on following in her footsteps. The singer told The Times of London in an interview published on Sunday, January 25, that she is "so relieved" that Scarlet isn't interested in pursuing a career in the music industry.
