Heather Rae El Moussa Declares 'I Love My Body' As She Makes Postpartum Progress

Heather Rae El Moussa is making significant headway with her postpartum journey. Slowly but surely, the first-time mom, who gave birth to her son Tristan Jay on Jan. 31, is getting her body back in formation.

While she does, she lets her social media community in on what her life looks like, and it's highly admirable. The "Selling Sunset" star shared an unfiltered post of herself engaging in a post-birth workout, and she details the significant changes her body has made thus far.

The mom of one, who welcomed her first son with her husband, Tarek El Moussa, posted a raw video on her IG Story to show what her postpartum body looks like, alongside a note of encouragement.

The upload showed Heather in her living room space, visibly decked with toys, performing an exercise where she hangs her legs on the sitter and goes up and down with her hands firmly on the floor.

Off camera, her certified trainer, Paulina Stein, tells her when to go up and when to go down. "The Flipping El Moussa" star is seen wearing gray pants and a tan workout bra, and she also styles her hair into a bun. Across the post, she notes more information about her body. It read:

"I told @paulinastein my body feels old after having[a] baby: Lol I have aches I've never felt before. And carrying around a baby all day is no joke. BUT do feel like my strength is coming back [I've] made so much progress and I lose my body."

Before this update, In June, the Playboy Playmate of the Month for February 2010 uploaded a couple of videos accentuating her satisfaction in tirelessly working on her body with the support of her longtime trainer.

Likewise, the 35-year-old reality TV star proved to fans that she was keen on smashing her body goals and getting her pre-baby body back. She engaged in these activities, wearing a white long-sleeved top, black sports leggings with sheer bottoms, and matching sneakers for both moves.

To keep her blonde hair from cutting in the routine, Heather put a chunk in big braids and held the loose ends in a ponytail. In one of the videos she posted, she was seen doing an aerobic exercise requiring the support of a chair and a yellow-resistant band.

The HGTV star posed in a semi-squat position to perform this training, turning her legs in and out. Stein, who was off camera, encouraged her to lower her back more. Over the post, Heather tagged the weight loss coach and penned:

"These were NO fun. But love seeing the progress & feeling strong again."

The second reel displayed the "Love in the Time of Machines" actress executing a modified version of stair lunges with a dumbbell in her left hand.

Although these postpartum body progress and general baby updates of Heather's newborn are highly relatable to many, a few have used them to accuse her of preferring her six-month-old son over her stepchildren, Brayden and Taylor. 

As observed by The Blast, mom-shamers took it upon themselves to remind her of the other children's existence when they noticed the recent decline in them popping up in her conversations.

Someone had even asked if the former actress "ever mentions her stepkids anymore" when she posted four snaps of her and Tarek spending quality time with Tristan. To that end, the doting mother chatted with TODAY.com about the endless attack on her character, stating, "Taylor and Brayden are in school all day, and I'm home with Tristan. I can capture moments with Tristan easily." She continued:

"They're also busy with sports and tutoring— they always have something going on. I blink, and it's 8 o'clock at night. So, when we're all together, the last thing I'm doing is standing around taking photos with all three kids."

The real estate agent added that Taylor, who is now a teen, hesitates to have her photos posted online frequently. "She's a teenager now, and she'll be like, 'I don't love my hair in that picture. Please, don't post that one,'" the stepmother clarified.
