Clapback: Teen Mom star, Kailyn Lowry, 28, showed off her postpartum body in a sports bra and jeans on Instagram while revealing that she was going at her own pace to shed the weight. The personality called out mom-shamers for their criticism of women’s bodies
The Pothead Haircare owner started off her post going to bat for women everywhere as a reflection of her own experience.
‘Moms don’t get enough credit, women in general don’t get enough credit,’ she said.
‘We are expected to do all the things. carry our babies for 9-10 months, breastfeed, (for some of us) raise other kids, be up all hours of the night, hit the ground running with work & then are mom shamed when we want/need time to ourselves (when we deserve it!).’
Trying to unify moms she continued, ‘Motherhood isn’t supposed to be a competition – and neither are our bodies’ as she showed off her curves in Good American jeans and a Calvin Klein bra.
Creed: The Coffee Convos Podcast host gave birth to her fourth son, Creed, on July 31st. The tv personality shares her four kids with three baby daddies, with whom she has different relationships when it comes to co-parenting
‘This shoot was a challenge for me. i’ve birthed 4 humans & people expect my body to snap back immediately. when it doesn’t – i get body shamed, when I go to the gym it’s selfish. when I love my body, it’s unhealthy. there is no ‘winning’ for me in the court of public opinion,’ Kailyn shared.
The Coffee Convos Podcast host added, ‘all of this being said, i decided to do sh** at my own pace,’ revealing that the first step for her was a photoshoot ‘to be proud of my body and really love what it has been capable of doing 4x.’
Holding herself accountable, Kailyn shared that the shoot also served as ‘a starting point in [her] fitness & health journey’ as she hoped to look ‘back on these photos & see significant changes & progress.’
Above all, the mother of four maintained that she will always have love for herself and all that her body has gone through, as she signed off ‘cheers to loving ourselves & our bodies and to supporting & uplifting other women & moms.’
Body love: In her Instagram post, Kailyn vowed to love herself and her body despite the mom-shamers. ‘i get body shamed, when I go to the gym it’s selfish. when I love my body, it’s unhealthy’ she said as she spoke about the unnecessary criticism women face
Kailyn gave birth to her fourth child and second son with former partner Chris Lopez in late July.
The pair share son Lux, two, though the relationship between Lopez and Lowry has been a battle.
Ahead of the birth, Lopez took to Instagram live to talk Lowry and their relationship alluding to a lot of drama between the pair.
Lopez shared that he did not know if he would be present at the baby’s birth, ‘If I get the call [to come to the birth], I get the call. If I don’t, I don’t. It is what it is at this point. I can’t stress it, bro’ he said.
Another fan asked Lopez if he was going to be a ‘present father’ to which he responded he did not know, because it was not up to him.
Lover’s quarrel: Despite sharing son Lux, two, and newborn Creed, Lopez and Lowry have not had an easy road with Lowry sharing that co-parenting with Chris is a ‘one day at a time’ type deal
In February, Kailyn revealed to Us that she was prepared to ‘raise another baby on [her] own’ as she said she was not in contact with Chris at the announcement of her pregnancy.
She later revealed in August that she and Lopez take their relationship ‘one day at a time,’ also adding that she had regrets about giving their new baby Chris’ last name.
‘He said that was the one thing that he wanted was for me to give the baby his last name, [but] I don’t know that it helped change anything in this situation as far as, like, parenting’ she told Us.
In addition to her children with Lopez, Lowry shares sons Isaac, 10, with ex Jo Rivera and Lincoln, six, with ex Javi Marroquin.
Speaking about sharing kids in quarantine the A Letter of Love author said it was challenging trying to figure out ‘how it’s going to work, how we’re going to send our kids back’ and what that looks like.
She added that for now she is in a good place with Joe and Javi, ‘I’m hoping that it stays like this for awhile.’
