The long nine months of pregnancy can have a lasting impression on many women, taking its toll both physically and mentally. For actress Jaime Pressly, enduring the journey left her with more than her baby boy Dezi James, now 20 months, and even more than a few extra pounds to lose — the experience opened her eyes to a whole new meaning of her “sexy” attributes. “I used to just say my brain. But lately, I love my stomach; and growing a human being inside me, there is nothing more incredible or sexy,” Jaime shares in the March issue of SHAPE magazine.
Setting aside time to focus on regaining her body after baby – four days a week with her trainer — Jaime shares that the pounds came off as a result of strenuous exercise routines that kept her heart rate high and a healthy eating plan. While eager to shed the baby weight — but maintain “my butt” – the actress, who has topped the magazine’s annual list of Sexiest Bodies in Hollywood, insists that her goal is not to join the countless size 0 celebrity women, but rather to maintain a curvy appearance.
“I think it’s sexy when women have shapely bodies.”
As for her recent split from Dezi’s father, DJ Eric Cubiche, the 31-year-old admits that the pair are “going through a rough patch” and find themselves in need of some alone time. “There are no bad feelings there,” explains Jaime, who goes on to share that, despite any rumors, “it’s not like someone cheated on someone else. Sometimes you need to take a step back and figure out what you need.” For now, while their relationship may be on a hiatus, the two are concentrating all of their efforts on simply “being good parents.” In fact, according to Jaime, that has been their plan all along.
“We didn’t plan a wedding, we planned a child. [Dezi is] the greatest thing that’s happened to either one of us.”
