Mendes, who gave birth to daughter Esmeralda back in September with partner Ryan Gosling, shows off her toned post-baby figure on the cover of Women’s Health magazine for its April issue.
“I don’t feel like I’ve really earned the right. I want to respect all the moms out there. They’re going to be like, ‘You know what? You’re a few months in. Just shut up’. I’m actually enjoying the sleepless nights because it’s bonding with my little girl,” she said.
During the interview, the 41-year-old actress also discusses her post-baby workout routine, including running, sprinting and lifting light weights.
“I don’t love it, but I’ve made peace with that. I haven’t eaten meat in about six years, because I don’t agree with factory farming here. This is just what worked for me, it’s important to say, but when I cut that out I immediately felt better. And also, after a year of eliminating it, my skin looked brighter and healthier overall,” the “2 Fast 2 Furious” star said.
