With her due date just weeks away, Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland shows off her bump and a whole lot more in a gorgeous photo shoot for ELLE.com.
The 33-year-old singer is the latest in a string of pregnant celebrities - Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys to name just a few - who've stripped down to show off their growing bellies. While not everyone is a fan of the trend, Kelly explains why an expectant mom's "Godmazing" body deserves to be celebrated.
"I don't know why they would get flack," she says. "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."
Since sharing the news of her first pregnancy on Instagram this past summer, Kelly has been focused on keeping up her healthy lifestyle, including very frequent trips to the gym. It seems her hard work has paid off - she looks amazing! Kelly says her maternity workout regiment was about more than just looking good, though. She's hoping it leads to an easier labor, too.
"Everybody always tells you to go crazy with food, and you can eat whatever you want. It's fine to have your cravings but I wanted an easier delivery," Kelly tells ELLE.com. "All the women that I've talked to, that have worked out, have such an easy and speedy delivery. Exercise really helps that."
She has indulged just a bit, though. Asked to reveal her craziest craving, she admitted she has a weakness for "cherry pie and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter mixed in it."
Yum? Actually, it sounds a lot better than what some celebrity moms have confessed to craving during their pregnancies. Take a look...
Congratulations to Kelly and her husband Tim Witherspoon on the baby on the way. Stay tuned for their big announcement!
What did you crave during your pregnancy?
