Our hilarious new girl crush Jennifer Love Hewitt just got really real about pregnancy




Let's be real. Even though Jennifer Love Hewitt is pregnant, her body is still a wonderland. Are we right? Have you ever seen such a beautiful bump?

For all inquiring and expectant moms, the actress is fighting dry pregnancy skin and stretch marks with Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula (she's the new "spokes-belly") and staying in shape by doing workouts like swimming, boxing and walking five days a week. And we're sure having her hot husband, Brian Hallisay, doing the dishes and vacuuming while she's pregnant does something for that glow as well.

When we talked to the very real and hilarious soon-to-be mother of two today, she shared some very honest deets about her pregnancy.

1. Your body does insane things when there's a bun in the oven.


Start to finish you're like, "Whoa, this is crazy!" Right up to where I am now, where I'm fully convinced that my stomach's just gonna fall off the front of my body at this point...Your body just somehow holds it all up, and it's crazy.

2. And there's a reason why no one tells you what to expect when you're expecting.


There's a lot of things that they don't tell you, and I am not going to be the person to tell (you) those things. Then I will be in trouble forever (laughing). All I will say is the things that you don't know and that they don't tell you, there's a reason that they don't tell you, and it's just because you gotta get there. And when you're there, and you're in it, you will be just fine.
We're trusting you, Jen, but we're really wishing you would've broke the mom code on this one.


3. Sorry 'bout it, Hollywood. She's not rushing back to her pre-baby body for you!


I gave it 25 really good years of concentrating on that body stuff, so I have great photos to look back and go, "Yeah, I was rockin' it." And I have these really beautiful photos now of me and my kids, and that's far better...

I look forward to putting myself back together, so to speak, at some point and feeling, you know, confident and strong and healthy and fit. But not for Hollywood, more so that I can enjoy my kids for a long time, and just really so that my little girl can look at somebody that has a healthy view of all that stuff.

4. And she admits she was ready to chow down!


I was also excited to eat. I mean I spent a long time as just an actress who was always looking at people's plates going, "Wow, that looks really tasty, but I can't have that because I have a photo shoot tomorrow." So it's been lovely just to, like, go eat Italian food.

5. She loves that Dance! Workout with Barbie video just as much as we do.




A friend of mine just, as a joke, got me a copy of that, and I was thinking, "Wow, this is a great workout for me to do, like after baby, because (my one-year-old daughter) Autumn could watch it, and Barbie will be on the screen. And she'll dig that. So she can kind of be a part of it, but it's actually like a pretty hard workout. So I was like, "That's going to be awesome!" So I'm going to be doing, just so you have a visual, I'm going to be doing Dance! Workout with Barbie and a lot of Jane Fonda in my house, probably with like a bjorn on, (and) a baby situation. It's going to be really hot.
Really hot indeed, J. Love. Really hot indeed.
