After welcoming her son Milan in January, Shakira had to slip into those sequined outfits and show off her post-baby body before she was necessarily comfortable with it.
“[Losing baby weight] is the only thing that’s been a little stressful,” the 36-year-old singer told reporters during NBC Universal's press day on April 22, according to People. “I knew I had to come back here to do 'The Voice' two months after I had delivered a baby. I didn’t have my four months of maternity like every woman on earth has. I’m not trying to complain, but it’s been a process full of challenges.”
Shakira also admitted that nowadays, new moms are under a lot of pressure to drop those post-pregnancy pounds fast -- and she doesn't think it's fair.
“I think that our mothers and grandmothers weren’t under the pressure women of today are after delivering a baby," she explained. "My dad says there’s nothing better than meat over the bones. So he likes my mom a little chubby. She was never under the pressure to have to get to her old weight -- and she never did.”
