The actress, who has been open about her weight loss journey in recent years, posted the update on her Instagram page on Tuesday, April 1, 2024, alongside a message to fans marking the new month.
“There are days when I miss my old body, the fullness, the softness, the way I took up space without hesitation,” she wrote. “I miss how familiar it felt, how I knew its curves like the back of my hand, how certain outfits hugged me just right. There was comfort in that body, a sense of identity I never had to question.”

The 43-year-old added that although she now looks different, she sees the change as a sign of personal growth and strength.
“But then, I look at my new body, and I see growth not just physically, but emotionally. This body has carried me through change, through challenges, through moments of doubt and discovery. It moves differently, it feels different, but it is still mine,” she added.
