View Date:2024-12-23 12:00:26
Halle Bailey shared an exciting update in her postpartum journey.
Seven months after welcoming her first child—a baby boy named Halo with boyfriend DDG—the Little Mermaid star revealed she reached a major milestone in motherhood.
"Guys i got back to my pre baby weight naturally," Halle wrote in a June 12 post on X, "so i'm proud of myself."
To celebrate hitting her goal, the 24-year-old shared a photo of herself in the gym, wearing a green sports bra from Beyoncé's Ivy Park, brown workout shorts and white sneakers.
Halle's weight loss comes two months after she discussed how her relationship to her body changed after giving birth.
"The only thing that's been hard for me is feeling normal in my own body," she said in a Snapchat video that was reshared by a fan account on Instagram April 16. "I feel like a completely different person when I look in the mirror. I just feel like I'm in a whole new body, and I don't know who I am."
At the time, Halle also opened up about other struggles she was facing.
"I have severe, severe postpartum [depression]," she continued, "and I don't know if any new moms can relate, but it's to the point where it's really bad, and it's hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out."
The Color Purple star admitted she didn't realize the mental health issues new moms can experience.
"I didn't realize how serious of a thing it actually was," she said about postpartum depression. "Now, going through it, it feels like you're swimming in this ocean that's, like, the biggest waves you've ever felt, and you're trying not to drown."
Despite her struggles, Halle made it clear that her love for her son Halo is unwavering.
"It has nothing to do with my baby," she clarified. "It has everything to do with me and who I am right now."
Halle isn't the only star to get candid about motherhood. Keep reading to see what other celebs have said about their postpartum bodies, breastfeeding experiences and more.
"I think my breastfeeding journey was also very empowering because it was so difficult," Keke told Essence in an interview published Aug. 21. "And I wanted to give up at so many different points, but I just kept pushing myself and kept trying to figure it out."
She added, "The relationship I had with my son during that process empowered me to get back up and do things for myself again."
The Game alum, who shares son Cree, 12, and daughter Cairo, 5, with ex-husband Cory Hardrict, opened up about her struggles with breastfeeding. "When I had Cree, I was struggling to breastfeed him," she wrote in an Aug. 10 Instagram. I was only able to breastfeed for 3 months before having to switch to formula. And during the second time, I found that I was able to breastfeed Cairo for 13 months."
She continued, "Nonetheless, the journey was difficult...if you are struggling with breastfeeding, I want you to know that it is more than okay to feed your children formula. As long as your children are fed, loved, happy, and supported that's all that matters."

Like, why is the most natural thing so offending to you? Breasts literally excists [sic] so we can feed our children [red heart emoji]."
The Twilight star opened up about breastfeeding her 20-month-old daughter Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder in an Instagram post in 2019. "To be honest, I have no idea how long her and I will be on this journey together. I follow her lead, and she tells me exactly what she needs," she wrote.
