(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Beyonc Knowles and Kelly Rowland "can't walk past" a baby shop without popping in.

The pair have been friends for years and were in girl band Destiny's Child together.

They are still close now and Kelly was thrilled when her pal gave birth to her first child, daughter Blue Ivy, in January.

"My friendship with Bey hasn't changed since she became a mother, there's just a new element to it," she told the latest edition of UK Glamour.

"Now we can't walk past a baby store without going in!"

Kelly appeared as a judge on the UK X Factor last year but has decided not to return in 2012. She is focusing on her music career now and is excited to see what people make of her new offerings.

"I'd love to do more TV, and I want to write a movie," she enthused. "I've also been in the studio for two months working on a new album. I can do it all you never know what I'll turn my hand to next!" (C) Cover Media
