Chrissy Teigen Shows Off Her Post-Partum Stretch Marks: “This Is My New Body”
The Lip Sync Battle host wants to help others "feel better about themselves."
Meghan King Edmonds isn’t the only celeb getting real about her post-partum experience. While vacaying it up in Bali with her husband John Legend and their two kids, Luna and Miles, Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram to share an up close and personal look at her “mom bod.”
“Guess these just aren't gonna go away. This is just my new body,” Teigen said as zoomed in on the stretch marks along her stomach and thighs. The model mama also posed for a sweet topless pic with her hubby.
Moments later, Teigen revealed the true motive behind these posts on Twitter: to show people what "regular" bodies look like. "Instagram is crazy. I think it’s awesome people have killer bodies and are proud to show them off (I really do!!) but I know how hard it can be to forget what (for lack of a better word) regular ol’ bodies look like when everyone looks bonkers amazing," she tweeted.
Teigen also made it clear to fans that although she proudly put her new "mom bod" on display, she still struggles with her own inhibitions. She continued: "also I don’t really call this 'body confidence' because I’m not quite there yet. I’m still super insecure. I’m just happy that I can make anyone else out there feel better about themselves!"
Luna and Miles sure do have one beautiful, fierce, and inspiring mama!
