In a social media post, 38-year-old Ciara is getting candid about trying to lose postpartum weight. The singer gave a shout out to all mothers who are in her same boat, saying that the task is “tough”.
The “How We Roll” songstress wrote, “Trying to lose 70lbs post baby, prepare for a show and tour while breastfeeding, and running my businesses…Shout out to all my mammas out there gettin in, I see you! ToughSh$t. #MambaMentality.”
Ciara has a goal in mind for her weight loss..summer! If you have not heard, the mother-of-four is set hit the stage again as she will tour with Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes and Timbaland for the OUT OF THIS WORLD-THE EXPERIENCE Tour.
Ciara and husband, NFL star, Russell Wilson, welcomed their daughter, Amora Princess to the world in December of 2023. The singer and her husband also share two other children: daughter, Sienna, 6, and son Win, 3. Ciara shares her eldest son, Future, 9, with her ex-Future.
Prior to Amora’s birth, the “Level Up” singer told People Magazine that there was always “nonstop entertainment” in her house.
“These kids are funny,” Ciara told the outlet in her interview at the time. “Our kids are really hilarious, and obviously the older they get, the more they think they know.”
Ciara isn’t the only famous face that is speaking out about the difficulty of postpartum weight loss. Back in July of 2023, Keke Palmer spoke candidly about her journey in an interview with The Cut, continuing the discussion on her podcast with personal celebrity trainer, Corey Calliet.
“I just had the baby and they want me to be this representation of ‘As a mom, you can blah, blah, blah!’…But also I want to say, like, it’s my job. Like let’s not get crazy and I don’t want people to think that I’m also setting unrealistic standards – because I can afford a trainer. I can afford meal prep. I can afford a lot of things and it’s expensive, but I’m investing in my career because it’s my career to look good,” the new mother said on her Baby, this is Keke Palmer podcast per JustJared.com.
The former Disney star continued, “And not even that, but it’s my career choice to have this kind of career that I want to have…I specifically want to be in action. I specifically want to do certain things that would require me [to be fit], you know? So it’s like, it’s a personal choice. And so I never want to put that on anybody. And that’s big for me. Cause I know that a lot of people look at me and I represent a lot of people in different ways.”
Both women look amazing and are truly telling it like is for those who are on the same journey as they are! As Holly Robinson Peete commented on Ciara’s post, “If anyone can [get to their goal weight,] it’s you.”
We agree and cannot wait to see her return to the stage starting, July 4!
