Beyonce loves her ‘mommy pouch’
Beyonce is in “no rush” to work off her “mommy pouch” after discovering a new appreciation and confidence in her fuller figure.
The Formation icon has reflected on her changing attitude to her body in a new cover article for Vogue, in which she reveals she faced a rough recovery period following an emergency caesarean section last summer, when she gave birth to twins Sir and Rumi, siblings for her six-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with her husband Jay-Z.
“After the C-section, my core felt different,” she explained. “It had been major surgery... I needed time to heal, to recover.
“During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be.”
The message of self-acceptance is one Beyonce, who tipped the scales at 218 pounds when she welcomed the twins, wanted to impress upon readers by embracing a more natural look for the accompanying photoshoot with 23-year-old Tyler Mitchell.
And she is happy to be carrying a few extra pounds — and she has no shame in sporting what has become known as a FUPA (fat upper p---area).
“To this day my arms, shoulders, breasts, and thighs are fuller,” she continued. “I have a little mommy pouch, and I’m in no rush to get rid of it. I think it’s real.
“Whenever I’m ready to get a six-pack, I will go into beast zone and work my ass off until I have it. But right now, my little FUPA and I feel like we are meant to be.”
