Lara Worthington: ‘I Love My Body After Babies!'

The aussie star is looking fit and fantastic not even a year after welcoming her third child

It’s been almost 15 years since Lara Worthington posed in a bikini on a pristine beach Down Under and asked, “Where the bloody hell are ya?” But she looked just as fit and fabulous as she did in the 2006 Tourism Australia ad when she hit a beach in Huskisson on NSW’s South Coast on February 11.

It hasn’t been a year since Worthington, 33, welcomed her third child into the world, but her post-baby body looked incredible as she posed in swimwear for a photoshoot. And the mum-of-three – who shares Rocket, 5, Racer, 4, and another boy born in March last year (whose name she’s yet to reveal) with hubby Sam, 44 – recently admitted she’s more confident with her body now than she was in her younger years. “I don’t know if that was to do with the industry, but I really have come out of that full circle,” she told Marie Claire. “I have more control now.”

While her early 20s were plagued with scandal and body hang-ups, the model-turned-entrepreneur believes motherhood reframed her priorities for the better. “Before I had kids, I was always trying to get skinny or be a certain weight,” she said. “My mind was so focused on that, and then the moment I just let myself be happy in my body and had kids, it really changed for me.”

“I feel like my whole early 20s were just so centred on body issues,” Worthington continued. “Having a baby changed my body for the better. It’s like my body was meant to have kids, and maybe that’s why I’ve had so many and would happily have more!”
