Chrissy Teigen Opens Up About Body Confidence And Motherhood Journey

Here's the truth: Even someone as seemingly put-together as Chrissy Teigen has her moments of self-doubt. You might know her as the host of Lip Sync Battle, the wife of John Legend, and the mom of two adorable kids, Luna and Miles. But behind the scenes, Chrissy has been on a personal journey to embrace her body after having two children. In a candid interview with Good Housekeeping for their February cover story, she spilled the tea on how she's learning to love herself again.

Let's be real for a second—Chrissy isn't immune to the pressures of Hollywood. "I think, in a way, we’ve forgotten what a regular body looks like," she admitted. "There's this unrealistic expectation that everyone should look a certain way, and it's exhausting. I know I'm not alone in this struggle. So many women out there are dealing with the same thing, and it's okay to admit it. It's a journey, and it's one I'm still navigating." Her honesty is refreshing, and it’s something so many of us can relate to.

When it comes to her post-baby body, Chrissy is unapologetically honest. "I'm not blind. I see the changes, the stretch marks, the weight gain. But here's the thing—I also see the incredible little humans I created with John," she said. "When I look in the mirror, I see Luna and Miles staring back at me. And you know what? I wouldn't trade that for anything. Those changes? Totally worth it."

Reinventing Herself: From Swimsuit Model to Mommy Chef

Chrissy Teigen has always been a force to be reckoned with, but motherhood has brought a new perspective to her life. "I used to feel like I had to live up to this image of perfection, but now I realize that's not who I am anymore," she shared. "I don't have to be a swimsuit model. I get to be a mom, a chef, and someone who meets incredible people every day. This transition has been a blessing in disguise." And who could forget her modeling debut in the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue? While those days were iconic, Chrissy is fully embracing her new role.

Life After Postpartum Depression

Being a mom to two adorable kids hasn't always been easy for Chrissy. After the birth of her daughter Luna in 2016, she faced a battle with postpartum depression. "There were days when I couldn't even get out of bed. My bones ached, and I felt like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders," she revealed. But things started to turn around when she rediscovered her love for cooking. "Cooking became my therapy. It was one of the first things that made me feel normal again," she said. In her second cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More, Chrissy talks about how cooking helped her heal and reconnect with her family.

For Chrissy, cooking isn't just about preparing meals—it's about creating memories with her family. "I love being in the kitchen with Luna and Miles. It's where I can be goofy, silly, and just be myself," she said. And let's not forget—this woman has already released two bestselling cookbooks. She's a role model for so many of us, proving that you can be successful, beautiful, and real all at the same time.
