‘Stretch Marks Crew’: Fans Shower Tia Mowry-Hardrict With Love For Showing Off Her Natural Post-Baby Body

Tia Mowry-Hardrict appears to have officially lost all of her baby weight. The former teen sensation showed off her post-pregnancy body and social media users were inspired to see the mother of two flaunting her midsection on Instagram.

Hardrict wore a black sports bra, a pair of black leggings, and black running shoes to show off her snatched physique. The 41-year-old actress posed comfortably for her photo by placing her hands on her hips and smizing fiercely at the camera. In her caption, Hardrict opened up to fans about the importance of physical and mental health.

She revealed that she has been taking care of herself by eating and drinking things that support her immune system. The “Sister, Sister” actress shared that she has indulged in Vitamin C supplements as well as taken in frozen vegetables and fruit to enhance her diet. The “Family Reunion” star concluded her message by saying, “Ps, YES those are stretch marks and I’m freaking proud of them!”

Hardict’s message appeared to have inspired many fans to take care of their health. However, most of her millions of followers praised the model for showing off a not-so-picture-perfect body.

“Stretch Marks Crew πŸ‘‹πŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎ,” one user wrote.

Hardrict revealed that she has lost a total of 65 pounds since giving birth to her baby girl, Cairo Tiahna Hardrict, in 2018. She shared that it took her three years to finally feel like herself after preparing for a baby. She admitted the first year she prepped her womb, the second year she gave birth to her daughter, and the third year she was breast feeding.

Hardrict has been transparent about the struggles that came along with being pregnant with her daughter. She suffered from endometriosis, a painful condition that happens when tissue similar to the tissue in the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. The disorder sparked her interest in the wellness industry.

She meditates daily, hits the gym, eats healthy, and appears to enjoy spending time with her family. She has an older son, Cree Hardrict, with her husband, Cory Hardrict.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
