Kelly Rowland and her new husband Tim Witherspoon will be welcoming their first child into the world within the coming weeks. As a part of the preparation for their baby boy, Rowland is documenting every step of her pregnancy. From her baby’s first pair of shoes before he’s even arrived to staying in shape, Rowland is sharing the excitement with all of her friends and fans. Now she’s sharing some of the first photos of her baby bump as her only accessory. With some help from her former music video co-star turned photographer Lance Gross, the former Destiny’s Child star bared it all in a tastefully nude spread for Elle magazine.
Rowland isn’t shy about showing off her body while pregnant and she shouldn’t be. After all she’s been putting in major work with fitness trainer Jeanette Jenkins with exercisesthat are safe for both mom and baby, like water aerobics. But working out isn’t just for vanity, Rowland said exercise also helps in the delivery room. “All the women that I’ve talked to, that have worked out, have such an easy and speedy delivery.”
She also shared with Elle her secret to flawless skin, not using products that contain chemicals. “I use nothing but shea butter, pure cocoa butter and coconut oil. It’s amazing how all of those things work so well for my skin,” she said.
Rowland’s not the first celebrity mom to share her pregnancy in the nude and like celebrity moms before her she thinks pregnancy should be celebrated. “It’s really — I won’t say amazing — it’s Godmazing (laughs) watching your body carry a human. I took a birthing class and I was amazed by all the things this woman was saying to me about birthing and what the body does naturally. Why wouldn’t you want to celebrate that? The body should be celebrated,” the singer told Elle.
