14 DAY TRIAL // Just one month after giving birth to a baby boy, Penelope Cruz seems to have regained her pre-pregnancy body. The star made her first public appearance since giving birth, looking as slender as always.
Us Magazine also notes that the Spanish stunner doesn’t seem to carry much in terms of pregnancy weight, which could probably mean she’s been keeping very busy these days with her fitness.
“Just a month after giving birth to a baby boy, new mom Penelope Cruz stepped out in Santa Monica on Wednesday – and showed off a truly enviable post-baby figure,” the celebrity mag writes.
“Visiting the offices of Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer (the man behind Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, in which Cruz stars), the stunning Oscar winner, 36, looked every bit the international movie star in shades, clingy striped top and tight blue jeans,” Us says.
Paparazzi photos taken on the occasion also offer a better look at Cruz’s engagement ring, “a 3-carat sapphire ring worth a reported $30,000,” says the same publication.
As fans must already know, Penelope and husband Javier Bardem, perhaps one of the most private couples in showbiz, were married in secret in July 2010.
After some speculation last year that she was with child, prompted mostly by photos of her on the “Pirates” set looking plumper than usual, she confirmed the pregnancy in September.
Penelope gave birth to a baby boy believed to have been named Leo Encinas, on the same day that the Oscar nominations were announced, where he’s in the running for Best Actor with his performance in “Beautiful.”
Back to the actress’ weight loss, there is a very good possibility that she didn’t even gain that much weight to begin with, it is being said.
After all, this is the same female star who told the world and her fans that they shouldn’t aspire to be thin to be considered “pretty” so she’s most likely not starving herself or working out like crazy, but rather enjoying the time with her baby and her family.
