In the comments section, netizens applauded the actress for having the courage to embrace her aging body.
“Good for her. She’s being real. Not many can be happy for fear of being criticized. She’s had her struggles like all of us. But she endured. She’s okay, and that’s what counts. It is these testimonials that give other women a reason to believe in themselves no matter the journey. For we all grow old. Childbearing weight gain and menopause are part of the struggles women face. Why not celebrate the positive rather than the negative? The most important thing is being happy in your own skin. God bless her,” remarked one netizen.
“Those are beautiful scars from the battle of motherhood,” added another netizen.
