In a recent Instagram post, Jessie J, who welcomed her son in May, candidly addressed comments about her post-baby figure. She shared her empowering perspective, saying, “Couple of people have said to me ‘I bet you can’t wait to get your body back.’ My reply is… ‘I don’t want to go back. That body is gone. I want my body to go forward. I’m getting my body forward.'”
The singer’s message is clear: she’s not interested in returning to her pre-baby figure but rather embracing the changes her body has gone through during pregnancy and childbirth. Her words resonate with many mothers who often feel societal pressure to quickly bounce back after giving birth.
Jessie J’s empowering post follows her sharing photos and clips of her “first night out out in FOREVER” since becoming a mom. In one video, she can be seen dancing in patent leather thigh-high boots to Rihanna’s hit track “B**** Better Have My Money.” She humorously added, “I drank water all night and held my pump bag like a handbag on the dance floor…BUT I can still p—-squat in thigh highs.” It’s clear that she’s embracing both motherhood and her sense of fun.
Last month, Jessie celebrated her baby’s 10-week milestone with sweet photos shared on her Instagram Story. She humorously expressed her love for her boyfriend Chanan Colman, with whom she shares her son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman.
Jessie J’s candid and empowering message serves as a reminder that every body is unique and should be celebrated at every stage of life. So, as she puts it, let’s all “embrace that bowdddddy!”
