What Baby?: Teyana Taylor Posts Swimsuit Photo That Leaves Fans Shocked About How Fast Her Body Snapped Back After Pregnancy

Teyana Taylor has fans slack-jawed after she posted a picture of her post-pregnancy body.

On Sunday, Oct. 25, Taylor posted a photo of herself holding onto the rails of a boat. Wearing no makeup and short hair, she is rocking a red bikini, bucket hat, and a purse to match.

“Lady in red,” reads the caption.

Generating over 600,000 likes and some heart eyes from her husband Iman Shumpert, Taylor left people both stunned and jealous over the shots.

Model Chanel Iman commented, “Wait a minute you just had a baby. You look Amazing.”

“Love and Hip Hop New York” star Erica Mena wrote, “This isn’t fair,” referring to the snapback of Taylor’s body.

Fans began to chime in, with one saying, “Body said ‘What kids?’”

Another fan quipped, “If this is after having Rue then I gotta have a word to God about allocating genetics. You are perfection.”

One fan wrote, “Ain’t no way two babies came from this bawdy.”

Other fans were in disbelief. One said, “I’ve had enough !, so you gonna spill how you stay in shape during pregnancy and how you snap back post . I’m not buying the ‘Im blessed with this body’ yes you are blessed but spill it !”

On Sept. 6, the “Wake Up Love” singer gave birth to her second daughter, Rue Rose, just hours after her baby shower.

She announced the news on Instagram, a day after the birth, with videos of her new baby girl resting peacefully.

As planned, she had a natural birth. She wrote in the caption for the videos that her daughter “entered the world in the water and came out looking around and ready to explore.”

Taylor and Shumpert’s eldest daughter, Iman Tayla “Junie” Shumpert, will be turning 4 years old on Dec. 16.

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.
