Kelly Rowland's Snapback Game After Pregnancy Is Jaw-Dropping
Our soul sister in our head, Ms. Kelly Rowland, recently welcomed her second precious baby boy, Noah Jon, last month. And *insert screams here* she has already snapped back to her slim, trim, swim figure! Once the five-time Grammy winner got the green light from her doctors, she was mentally prepped to get back into her fitness routine, and sis, I just want to know, like...how?!

Rowland took to Instagram to show off her incredible post-pregnancy bod, posting a video in blue Fabletics gear, as she prepared to head back to the gym. The 40-year-old was all smiles as she told her 10.9M followers:
"So, I'm starting to feel like my old self again. I was actually finally able to put me in a cute little Fabletics outfit. It's the Propel look, to propel me forward to working out, because I'm excited to get to work out again. I got two more weeks 'til I can!"
She was excited, hitting a few running poses, and showing us all up, postpartum, at the same damn time.
Prior to blowing our minds, last month, Rowland and husbae, Tim Weatherspoon, welcomed Noah, as she embraced a full circle moment for their family captioning the announcement:
"On the 21st day, of the 21st year, of the 21st Century, Noah Jon Weatherspoon greeted us! We are truly grateful."
Additionally, of being a new mom as a mother-of-two, Rowland recently told Billboard:
"I still don't know how to be a mother of two, exactly, but I'm figuring it out. It's going to be a unique experience--Titan's not like anyone else on this planet, Noah's not like anyone else on this planet. I'm still navigating myself through motherhood. So the less pressure I put on myself and allow myself grace--because I'm not going to get it right every single time. I think it's only fair to just breathe and use your instincts to navigate your way through. But I've learned not to put so much pressure on myself and to let my creativity flow."
Hallelu.
And if you can remember, Rowland's post-bod after giving birth to first son, Titan, was just as jaw-dropping.
Sis, the waist was snatched! Like...how?

Exclusive: Koryn Hawthorne On Her Miraculous Love Story: ‘I Was Never A Girlfriend’
Gospel singer Koryn Hawthorne has used her voice to let the world know about what God can do, and now the Season 8 finalist of NBC’s The Voice is sharing a miraculous act that led to her engagement.
The Praise This actress shared in an interview with xoNecole that prior to becoming engaged to her partner, Hunter Register, she passed over one particular title on her way to becoming a fiancée.
“I was never a girlfriend,” Hawthorn, 26, tells xoNecole.
“We've known each other since we were kids, so we just kind of always had this distant friendship. We would hit each other up on social media, and [I] slide up under things that he was posting,” she says. “We ended up hanging out together, and when we hung out, it was an instant immediate connection from all fronts. I think we just knew from the first day that I don't want to spend a day apart from you.”

She continued, "And yeah, we probably were boyfriend or girlfriend after — am I delusional? Then we were engaged a few months later.”
The Grammy-nominated singer, who became engaged in November of 2023, went on to share what her experience has been preparing to become a wife, exploring the personal growth, challenges, and emotions experienced throughout the process.
“It's a journey, I'm not gonna lie,” she says. “Relationships, in general, are hard, and whenever you think about marriage, is just different from being boyfriend and girlfriend because if you piss me off, I could just go,” she shared. “But marriage is an actual commitment. It's a partnership. It's a ministry.”
Hawthorne, 26, and Register, 27, were childhood friends growing up in Louisiana and sealed their love during a weekend getaway in New Orleans last fall.
For the gospel star, marriage involves more than lovely-dovey aspects, emphasizing how her relationship has allowed her to grow, mature, and learn valuable lessons through love.
“We were supposed to get married in May, but like for us to be mature enough to be like, ‘You know what? No, let's take the necessary time to make sure that we're fully prepared for this commitment such a beautiful thing,” Hawthorne reflected.
“It's a learning curve for sure, but our preparation for marriage would have been the only thing that brought this out of me. It's hard and it's scary at times, but it's God's purpose and His plan for our lives.”
