Chrissy Teigen, 38, Flaunts ‘Unedited’ & ‘Normal Mom Body’ in Photos, Inciting Applause from Fans

On her Instagram page, Chrissy Teigen shared photos from a recent family vacation. The first of these remarkable photos featured the 38-year-old model clad in a chic two-piece black bikini, as she held her son, dressed in vividly printed shorts, on her right hip. This snap revealed a natural fold in her belly.

In the next photo, Chrissy happily lifts her son high, and they both beam with joy. This moment, with the sea as their backdrop, beautifully captures their family happiness and relaxation.

Fans have flooded the comments section with messages of gratitude, applauding Chrissy for her transparency and the positive impact of showcasing a “normal mom body.”

One admirer expressed, “THANK YOU for posting an honest real pic of a normal mom body. You look amazing! So many of us moms are too self-conscious about our postpartum bodies and worry how it looks but looking at you I understand it looks beautiful!”

A fan remarked, “I feel like this picture is unedited (you look beautiful), but also…thank you! Typing as I just finished a midnight grilled cheese whilst booking an orange theory class tmrw.”

Others echoed the sentiment. A fan exclaimed, “Every woman looking at this photo of one absolutely stunning mother is thinking THANK YOU!!!!” A netizen added, “I can see you didn’t filter like many do and I applaud you because you look absolutely gorgeous.”

The photos she shared were from a recent trip to Thailand, where Chrissy, her husband, acclaimed musician John Legend, and their four children—Luna, Esti, Miles, and Wren—joined her extended family.

“Family of 6 made it to Thailand to visit yai!” Chrissy shared. Capturing moments from riding tuk-tuks to enjoying serene yacht trips, Chrissy showcased the joys and simplicities of family life.

Throughout their vacation, Chrissy’s approach to motherhood was evident; she was often seen with minimal makeup, engaging in fun activities with her children, and ensuring that each moment was filled with love and laughter.

Chrissy shared the challenges and rewards of parenting four children, emphasizing the importance of ensuring each child feels loved and valued amidst changing family dynamics.

She said, “For me, the hardest part is making sure the older ones feel loved and taken care of and just as special as the babies, even though you might have your hands on the babies a lot more.”

Chrissy’s transparent approach to parenting reflects the honesty and transparency she brings to her personal journey, including her years of body transformation.

In 2020, while pregnant, she still managed to work out five days a week, showcasing her dedication. Her trainer, Simone De La Rue, commended this commitment, especially significant under the constant gaze of the public eye.

Netizens deeply appreciate the candid insights into the life of a mother of four, finding her experiences authentic and relatable. Reflecting this connection to her audience, Chrissy’s public appearances continue to captivate as well.

We previously reported last month that Chrissy turned heads over her glamourous look at the 2024 Green Carpet Fashion Awards event alongside her husband. Chrissy looked stunning in a black, floor-length dress that perfectly embraced her figure.

The elegant ensemble featured a deep v-neck and sheer material that saw through her core and legs, subtly highlighting her silhouette in a manner that is simple and sophisticated. Chrissy opted for a hairstyle that complemented this simplicity, wearing her hair down with a center part.

The post quickly set social media abuzz, with numerous fans and onlookers rushing to comment, particularly focusing on her outfit.

People left comments such as, “Why is your belly button side eyeing me [sic]?” “Chrissy love I think they forgot to center your belly button when they put it back on,” and “I think Chrissy is beautiful but honestly I hate this dress.” Other comments showed admiration, including, “Glowing!” “Love this look,” and “That dress is beautiful.”

While Chrissy undoubtedly looked gorgeous during the event, her journey to this point hasn’t been without its struggles, particularly with her body image post-pregnancy. She has been open about the challenges she faced, especially after experiencing the profound loss of a baby midway through pregnancy in 2021.

Chrissy shared her feelings in an Instagram post, noting how such a loss leaves a woman’s body in a state of suspension, unable to proceed with the natural processes expected after childbirth.

She described the physical and emotional stagnation that comes with being reminded of what could have been every time she looked in the mirror, emphasizing the complex layers of grief that accompany such a loss.

“Usually you’d gain your “yumyums I’m praaaagnant!” weight, then put on the weight of your little bebe. Then, ideally, you’d have your baby,” she wrote. “But man. When you lose a baby halfway through, your body just pauses. It has nothing to do. No one to feed. And you’re just…stuck.”

Chrissy admitted that her body’s state left her completely saddened because of the reminder it brings her of her baby’s passing.

Chrissy’s appearance took another turn in 2023 when she faced criticism over her weight gain and allegations of excessive cosmetic procedures. In a defiant reply, she addressed a critic on Instagram who insinuated that she got a “new face” due to overfill.

Despite the hate, Chrissy’s response was characteristically straightforward and unapologetic, showcasing her resilience in the face of unwarranted criticism.

Chrissy has always been transparent about her experiences with cosmetic procedures, including her decision to get breast implants at 20 and her subsequent choice to have them removed.

She explained her initial decision was driven by a desire for a certain look in her modeling work, especially for swimsuit shoots. However, after going through the journey of motherhood, her priorities and body image evolved, leading her to opt for implant removal for comfort and personal satisfaction.

Criticism is nothing new for Chrissy, who has received backlash several times in the past. Previously, she received different reactions to a revelation she made about her son.

In an interview, the famous TV personality and model made a revelation about her son Miles. She admitted that when it comes to food, the boy has yet to eat a vegetable.

While conversing with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, the discussion veered toward Chrissy’s children. She first spoke about how her daughter, Luna, is very disciplined when it comes to eating healthy.

When it came time to talk about Miles’ eating habits, the doting mom disclosed, “Miles has still not had a vegetable.” She then went on to confirm, “Never. He accidentally ate a broccoli floret in fried rice and was so upset about it.”

After the interview was published, Chrissy received backlash from many people. One social media user said, “Shame, poor child,” while another insulted Chrissy’s parental skills and chastised her, “Poor parenting. Start them off the right way.” Similarly, another person stated: “Children learn from their parents. Do better!”

Others could not believe that Chrissy appeared to say what she did with nonchalance and ease. In this regard, someone commented, “Ridiculous! You were feeding him before he could feed himself. This is nothing to be proud of; I wouldn’t watch your cooking show.”

Another social media user pointed out, “I thought someone hosting a cooking show should have basic nutrition knowledge,” while someone else who also felt strongly about the situation noted, “That’s kinda old; my kid [has] been eating vegetables since she was able to eat regular food.”

In the interview in which the infamous statement was made, Chrissy also spoke about her new food series with David Chang called “Chrissy and Dave Dine Out.” The show follows Chrissy and David around as they dine with fellow stars at the most renowned restaurants in Los Angeles

Despite what many had to say about Chrissy’s parenting regarding monitoring what her children eat, the 38-year-old showed that she takes nutrition very seriously in a How-To video she made in 2021. In the clip, Chrissy was joined by an organizing specialist, Krysal Guinn, who helped her organize the contents of her fridge.

Although she had a few snacks and sodas like Dr. Pepper in the fridge, she also had plenty of fruits and vegetables for her family.

As her family life and career continue to captivate fans, Chrissy Teigen keeps impressing them with her amazing style and life stories. On Instagram, she recently shared a new look that got everyone talking.

Some wondered if she used Ozempic, a weight loss drug, but most people focused on how great she looked. Her fans showered her with compliments, admiring her beautiful, ageless look and her perfect hair and makeup.
