Model Jessica Hart shows off her slim figure as she’s seen for the first time since giving birth

Australian model Jessica Hart was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Thursday, just weeks after giving birth to her first child. 

The 34-year-old, who has previously walked for the likes of Victoria’s Secret, was seen for the first time in public since welcoming her tiny tot in November. 

Jessica was every inch the doting mother as she took daughter Baby for a walk, after sparking a bizarre feud with a friend after taking her baby name.  

Jessica showed off her trim post-baby body on the outing, wearing black flared leggings and a black and white printed T-shirt. 

The blonde, who hails from Sydney, wore her long locks tied up and off her face and went make free. 

She also wore a khaki face mask to protect her amid the coronavirus pandemic.  

Jessica looked relaxed as she walked around in the sunshine with Baby. 

She and her NASCAR driver fiancé James Kirkham welcomed Baby in November last year.

Last month, the Sports Illustrated model gushed over her newborn in a heartwarming Instagram post.  

’11/17/2020 The day my life changed forever. Meet our little angel, BABY after 14 days past our “due date” and 28 hours of (hell) labour,’ she wrote.

‘Baby joined us earth side and I haven’t stopped smiling since – according to James, so grateful for this little soul.

‘Baby is everything I ever imagined and so much more. Thank you for choosing us to be your parents, Baby. I promise we won’t let you down.’

James also has a six-year-old daughter from a former relationship, Wren. 

Jessica and James raised eyebrows when they revealed their daughter’s name.  

But one person in particular wasn’t happy with the decision: Jessica’s friend Sasha Benz, who named her daughter Baybi almost three years ago.

Sources with knowledge of the situation told The Sydney Morning Herald the naming had caused a rift between the two women, but Sasha has now confirmed to Daily Mail Australia the pair have patched things up. 

‘Of course Jess and I are still friends. We chatted it out a few weeks back, and I am happy she has a name she loves for her beautiful girl,’ Sasha said.

Sasha welcomed her daughter Baybi in 2018 with her partner DJ Oli Benz.

A source told The Sydney Morning Herald that Sasha was ‘devastated’ her close friend would choose something so similar to her daughter’s name – and while she did not dispute this, she did confirm their feud was well and truly over.

‘This is her moment and I want her to enjoy this beautiful part of becoming a mother,’ Sasha told Daily Mail. 

‘Baybi is almost three now and our new babies are only weeks apart, so it’s more important that they all grow up knowing there are more important things to care about, and both Jess and I agree on that.’

Meanwhile, a source from Jessica’s camp insisted she had not ‘copied’ Sasha by calling her daughter Baby, adding: ‘It has always been on her list of names before she even knew Sasha and her baby.’ 

Shortly after the arrival of their daughter, Jessica and her fiancé James spoke to People about how they’d decided on their little one’s name.

‘I first heard [the name] in the movie Dirty Dancing and always thought I’d love to name my daughter Baby,’ she said.
