Kelly Rowland Reveals Beyonce’s Mom Urged Her to Wait for Breast Implants

The U.S. “X Factor” judge revealed in her cover story for Shape magazine, that both her mom and Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, implored her to wait.

“I wanted to get breast implants when I was 18, but my mom and Beyoncé’s mom told me to really think about it first. I took their advice and waited 10 years.”

Rowland added, “Once I felt ready, I tried on padded bras and walked around in them to see how it would feel. You have to know what you’re getting, no matter what type of surgery it is.”

Boosting her breast size was just one hurdle in Rowland’s quest to “look good naked.”

The 32-year-old performer has worked closely with celebrity trainer Jeannette Jenkins since early 2011, when they released their first collaborative workout video, “Sexy Abs.”

Rowland told Us Magazine in a recent interview, that she follows an intense workout regimen five or six times a week.

On her motivation, Rowland added to theybf.com, “I want to look good naked. … Everybody wants to look good naked. That’s the goal.”

 

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
