Blake Lively Hates the ‘Post-Baby Body’ Craze

Blake Lively is adding herself to the list of celebrities who hate society’s fascination with the “post-baby body.”

In a recent interview with Australia’s Sunrise, Lively talked about how she physically prepared for The Shallows only eight months after having her daughter, James.


When asked about public interest in how celebrities get their figures back after pregnancy, Lively made her distaste for the “post-baby body” craze known.

“It’s so unfair, it’s so celebrated: ‘This is what someone looks like after having a baby.’ And I think a woman’s body after having a baby is amazing.”

We are in total agreement! Lively is pregnant with her second child now, so we imagine she will have even more to say on the subject after baby’s arrival.
