Chrissy Teigen Shares Body Positive Post With Daughter Esti Maxine
Chrissy Teigen sparked a conversation on body positivity after sharing a heartwarming post on Sunday with her three-month-old daughter, Esti Maxine, on her Instagram page. The post featured the 37-year-old sitting in a bathtub, cradling her daughter while both of them look towards the camera. In the caption, Teigen mentions her physical flaws and scars, but she celebrates her daughter’s perfection and captures the magic of the moment.
“A boob that somehow hangs all along my side and deep purple lifetime scars, but you are too perfect to worry about any of it!” she wrote.
Chrissy’s post received high praise from her followers, who appreciated her openness and body positivity. One user noted that there is beauty in real life and that our changing bodies remind us of the life we created. Another follower, actress Keegan Connor Tracy thanked the model for being brave enough to post such real photos, noting that there is a dysmorphia happening because everything is so filtered and contrived.
In Keegan’s words: “Thank you for being brave (though it shouldn’t be brave) enough to post suck real photos. I think there’s a dysmorphia that is happening because everything is so filtered and contrived. This is just what people look like when we take down the veil. There is beauty in real. And in knowing that we sacrifice to make these beautiful little people. Our bodies are meant to be lived in!”
In a March interview with People, Chrissy spoke about her mindset following the birth of her third child, Esti, with her husband, John Legend. She explained that having three children gave her a new sense of confidence and that she was no longer worried about what other people had to say.
“’A lot of people think that they’re experts on everything, but when you have three of something like that, you know … I mean, we’ve seen everything happen. We’ve dealt with the stitches. We’ve had a toe almost come off. We’ve had broken bones. We’ve seen it all. It’s fine,” she shared.
According to the cookbook author, her experience with motherhood has given her the confidence to know that she doesn’t need to accept being shamed about anything, especially when it comes to parenting advice.
Chrissy’s openness and body positivity are a refreshing reminder that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Her post with Esti Maxine shows the love and bond between a mother and her child, capturing the magic of the moment and celebrating the imperfections that make every human unique.
