Chrissy Teigen not yet ready slip back into bikini
New mum and model Chrissy Teigen is shunning revealing photoshoots for the time being because she is yet to feel "comfortable" with her bikini body.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit beauty gave birth to her first child, daughter Luna, in April (16), and days later, she stunned fans online by sharing a photo of her slender self back in her denim cut-off shorts.
John Legend's wife has never been afraid to show off some skin, and
while the leggy star has continued to impress with her ability to
bounce back from her pregnancy body, the star confesses she's not
quite ready to put her curves back on display in a teeny bikini
just yet.
"Every shoot I have right now, I request like, 'All one-pieces
please or anything high-waisted'," she tells People.com. "I'm still
definitely not comfortable. I think I'm fine in clothes. But am I
comfortable naked or in a bikini? Not exactly yet."
To combat her current clothing insecurities, she has learned to
"just try to wear things that make me feel a little more
confident," she explains, admitting she has filled her closets with
tailored pants, silk dresses, and pencil skirts.
Chrissy's beauty routine has also changed since becoming a mum,
because she barely has time for herself.
"I've always liked to appear like everything is a little more
effortless than it is," she says. "But I definitely just don't have
the time, obviously... It's so hard. There's no time. It's like
cooking now. I love cooking, I love showering... but there's no
time."
The model and TV personality has even had to ditch plans to relax
with little Luna in a bubble bath.
"I bought a ton by Mr. Bubble (bath product brand) thinking that
Luna could use it right now, but no, she can't apparently, because
her skin's too sensitive so I just use it," she laments.
And while Chrissy is doing her best to juggle motherhood with her
career, she admits there's one thing she would have done
differently before becoming a first-time mum.
"Take a class or two," she smiles as she offers up advice to other
parents-to-be. "I didn't and I kinda wish I did sometimes. But it
makes everything fun and exciting because, man, kids they keep you
on your toes. Just know that once you think everything is going
perfectly and nothing is wrong, they're going to flip it on you.
And you have to be really ready to just adjust and laugh at
it."
She adds, "Make sure that you have such a strong bond with your
partner, too, because there are days you're gonna look over at him
- or her - and be like, 'Ugh.' You gotta have that strong bond so
you can bounce back from it."
Chrissy and John wed in 2013.
