Ashley Graham Says She's Grateful For Her 'New Tummy' Almost 1-Year After Giving Birth To Twins

Supermodel Ashley Graham is counting her blessings.

The mother of three took to Instagram to show off her postpartum belly, saying she is appreciative of how it looks despite the changes spur from being pregnant. The 35-year-old gave birth to twin sons earlier this year and has been vocal about the changes in her body and life following their arrival.

Graham previously opened up about the challenges that came with breastfeeding the twins, sharing that she ultimately opted for combo feeding of breast milk and formula. Last month, she also revealed details about renovating the nursery for her twins and eldest child.

Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Graham, who has been open about her motherhood journey, shared another postpartum image of herself almost a year since she gave birth to a set of twin boys, Malachi and Roman.

The body positivity advocate welcomed the duo with her husband, Justin Ervin, on January 7. The pair also share another child, a two-year-old son Isaac Menelik Giovanni, born in January 2020.

In the image that came along with her latest post, Graham was dressed casually, suggesting she was at home when she took the picture. In the shot, she lifted her shirt to display her tummy, which had clearly suffered some wear and tear from the strain of carrying the twins for the period of her pregnancy.

She captioned the post, per People, "Hi new tummy. You look very different from what I'm used to. But I do appreciate you," adding a heart emoji formed with two hands.

Graham's new post comes after she shared a series of topless photos on Instagram in April 2022, three months after giving birth to the twins.

The images, which were taken in the model's bathroom, showed off her stretch marks and other bodily changes to her fans. "Hi, new tummy. We've been through a lot. Thank you. #3monthspostpartum," she captioned the post, per People.

In the same month, she spoke to People about how she "didn't realize how ugly and hard postpartum life" and admitted that the "loud organized chaos" of having three kids could be very challenging.

Regardless of the difficulties, the 35-year-old has fallen in love with the new changes. She wrote at the time, "It's so much fun. I feel like my home is so full of love, and it's because of my awesome kids and my great husband, truly."

Two months ago, the supermodel shared more details about her motherhood journey, disclosing how feeding her twins could be a hassle.

She told People, "I thought that I would easily be able to breastfeed without having to think twice about it. I knew that there was going to be a little bit of actual juggling that would have to be implemented because everybody and their mother told me that if I didn't feed the twins at the same time, I was never going to have any time for myself,"

The author of A New Model then confessed that her loved one's suggestion eventually came true, causing her to "figure out how to" feed her children at the same time. Although it was initially tough on her, she ultimately figured out a way, which involved feeding the twins with formula and breast milk.

Recently, Graham collaborated with Pottery room Barn Kids to design a new nursery for her twin sons and also create a bigger room for her eldest child. She spoke with People about the renovations, saying it was a significant upgrade from the previous versions.

"Pottery Barn Kids came in and just totally snatched it up and made it gorgeous," she told the publication last month. "It makes it a lot easier for me to walk into the room now. It's comfortable, and it's gorgeous."

She added, "Not only is it perfect for sleeping, but it's also a great place for the kids to play, before adding that the enlarged space allows her and her husband Ervin to spend more time playing with the kids in their transformed rooms.
