"I gained 17 kg" : Stéphanie Durant says she had trouble accepting herself after her pregnancy

Became a mother in October 2021, Stéphanie Durant explains how her post-pregnancy physique was difficult to live with.

Rise to fame with the show The people of Marseilles, Stephanie Durant has, after a few seasons, become an influencer. After being in a relationship with several reality TV candidates, she found love with Théo Soggiu. They have lived together in Dubai for three years. Married in September 2020 – and later religiously last December, the couple gave birth in October 2021 to baby boy Loann. The one who is very close to the influencer and Marseillaise Jessica Thivenin, her friend for eight years, was the guest a few days ago podcast The Parents show in which Emily, the hostess, welcomes famous parents or parenting professionals. The tagline of the podcast being “All parents have the right to speak”Stéphanie Durant had plenty of time, for nearly an hour, to recount her meeting with her husband, her pregnancy, her childbirth and her marriage, but also the beginning of her life as a mother.

“My complex, the belly”

More specifically, the influencer discussed her conception of motherhood and how becoming a mother has changed her. The physical aspect had a certain importance for her. Female, Stéphanie Durant spoke about how the pregnancy – or rather the months that followed – was difficult for her: “Frankly, it’s true that I’m one of those people that if I’m not well in my body, I’m not well in my head. The first months after giving birth were very complicated in relation to that”, she began before revealing. “I gained 17 kg. It’s fine but I’m still small in size, I’m very critical with my body too and unfortunately my complex is the stomach and there the stomach, it was complicated. When I’m not well in my body, in my head it doesn’t follow.”

“I was not in the mood”

Stéphanie Durant finds a simple explanation for her complicated physical state: “With fatigue I couldn’t get back to a good diet. I was not in the mood and it was complicated. And it’s true that I’m always dressed up, I always like to have my hair done, to be made up. Feeling good is super important to me and it’s true that the first few times it was really complicated. Two or three months ago it was complicated.” Nevertheless, a little over a year later, the young woman managed to get out of this torpor, as she reveals: “It was in September that I lost well, that I redid my sport, my diet and that I felt better. Because I have my little routine, because I feel better in my body.”
