Ciara is hosting a party for her body. In an Aug. 6 Instagram video, the "Level Up" singer revealed the scars from her pregnancies with Future Zahir, 11; Sienna Princess, 8; Win Harrison, 5; and Amora Princess, 19 months. She said, "I am a mom of my precious four babies, and they have blessed me with these stretch marks."
Ciara went on, "Why am I going to cover up when I can show off?" as she pulled down the waistband of her pants to expose her stretch spots.
She also wrote in the post's caption, "I'm not the only one who has moments when we don't feel good about our skin. These days, it seems like we have to hide or cover up in a lot of conversations. What holds you back from showing your skin?"
Ciara, who has three children with husband Russell Wilson and an eldest with ex-boyfriend Future, has previously talked about accepting the flaws in her skin. That's actually the main theme of the title track on her 2019 album Beauty Marks.
She said, "It holds a great significance to me, my life, and my journey," in an interview with iHeartRadio. "The notion that your scars are your beauty marks and that you should embrace them.
The "Goodies" singer stated that she gained about 60 pounds during her first two pregnancies and that she views the stretch marks she received while carrying Future and Sienna as "beauty marks."
"So, Beauty Marks holds great significance to me and my life," she added. "I'm excited to bring people on the journey with me, and hopefully people can take on the attitude that things they feel are their scars—or the not-so-perfect things—are actually beautiful things, and find their beauty in those moments in their journey."
