14 DAY TRIAL // The latest issue of Us Weekly has Kim Kardashian on the cover and, while that in itself wouldn’t be that newsworthy, the fact that she’s showing off her post-baby body in a 2-piece swimsuit definitely is. This is Kim’s official big weight loss reveal.
However, speaking with Yahoo! at The Hollywood Reporter’s 22nd annual Women in Entertainment breakfast, Kim claims that she did not pose for the picture and that it actually caught her by surprise to see herself on the cover.
It seems hard to believe, especially since this particular glossy always gets this type of exclusives from Kim, but the reality star insists the photo op had not been previously arranged. Moreover, she doesn’t even like the shot all that much.
Check out the video below for a good look at the cover and to hear what Kim had to say about it.
“I don't know if I really love that shot. I'm so critical of myself, so I look at it [and] I'm like, ‘Alright I have to get back in the gym, don't slack for the holidays,’ after seeing that. And I'm like, ‘I have a couple more [pounds] to go’,” Kim says.
She also explains that she was in Miami because she’d accompanied fiancé Kanye West there on tour, and she decided to go to the beach with 3 of her friends. However, when she noticed the paparazzi were there, she realized she wouldn’t be getting the chance to work on her tan or have a swim, so they left.
Regardless of whether Kim had the photo op pre-arranged with the paparazzi or not, there’s no denying that she’s back to her pre-pregnancy weight. Kim gave birth to daughter North West (Nori) in June this year and has been on the Atkins diet ever since.
There’s been some talk that she also had plastic surgery and all kinds of interventions to help her lose the weight faster, but she’s denied these claims saying she wasn’t about to have this amazing achievement taken from her by not speaking out on the rumors.
