Beyonce and her curvy look
But revealing details for the first time about giving birth in June 2017 to twins Rumi and Sir, Beyonce said she had needed a month of bed rest and that her health had been at risk before undergoing an emergency C-section.
After giving birth, Beyonce — who said she weighed 99 kilograms (218 pounds) — felt that she “needed time to heal” from the effects of the surgery.
“During my recovery, I gave myself self-love and self-care, and I embraced being curvier. I accepted what my body wanted to be,” she said.
Beyonce made a triumphant return to the stage at the Coachella festival in April, dazzling fans with a nearly two-hour set of non-stop choreography with some 100 back-up dancers.
The singer said she had prepared for Coachella by going vegan and eliminating alcohol, coffee and fruit drinks from her diet.
But she added: “I was patient with myself and enjoyed my fuller curves.”
The feminist-minded singer also reflected on raising a son, Sir, and said that she wanted him “to know that he can be strong and brave but that he can also be sensitive and kind.”
“I want my son to have a high emotional IQ where he is free to be caring, truthful and honest.
“It’s everything a woman wants in a man, and yet we don’t teach it to our boys.”
