Coco Austin posed topless and revealed her before-and-after photos just one week after giving birth to daughter Chanel Nicole, People reported. The former model welcomed her first child with husband, rapper and actor Ice T, and the proud mommy shared multiple updates on social media.
Austin posted a side-by-side photo of herself at 36 weeks pregnant on the left and a photo of herself one week after giving birth on the right. Little Chanel was born at 37 weeks, and Austin said that she only gained 13 pounds during her pregnancy and explained how she immediately bounced back to her almost pre-baby weight at 137 pounds.
"I lost 10 pounds before I even started to gain baby weight probably because 1- I stopped drinking alcohol. 2 - I stopped weight lifting and lost a lot of muscle and 3- I ate really healthy and took my vitamins everyday," Austin wrote on Instagram.
The photo comes just a few days after the new mommy posed topless with her baby for Chanel's first photo shoot, E! News reported. In the shot, Austin crossed her arms over her bare chest as she cradled her infant, who slept peacefully while wearing an adorable flower headband. Austin posted the photo after her hubby responded to social media users who accused them of exploiting their young daughter, who already has her own Instagram and Twitter account.
"Are Coco & I exploiting our daughter because we're posting her Baby pics?? You gotta be kidding me..People ain't got sh-- to talk about. SMH," Ice T wrote on Twitter after the backlash. "You can always hold the pics and make the tabloids PAY.... Not our style."
Austin still continues to share photos of her newborn daughter, including a recent shot of baby Chanel sitting in her pink Boppy baby lounge pillow, flanked by the couple's English bulldogs Spartacus and Maximus on either side.
"I love my little family! Look how @spartandmax post up by there new baby sister @babychanelnicole," Austin wrote in the caption. "Makes my heart melt."
