Kimberly Henderson made headlines a few months ago when she shared a video of herself singing a beautiful rendition of Whitney Houston’s ‘How Will I Know?’ to her sleepy baby.
The lullaby was viewed over 5 million times - and propelled the mum-of-four firmly into the public eye.
Now Kimberley has made headlines once again - and, this time, it’s for a very different reason.
On 19th June, the proud mum shared a selfie that showed off her “imperfect” stomach - stretch marks and all.
She wrote: “Everyone always compliments me on how I have such a ‘perfect’ body after 4 kids. I decided to upload this pic and leave my belly ‘unedited’ [and] ‘unphotoshopped’ because I used to struggle with accepting my body after kids.
“I used to have a six pack before my babies.. And now even though I work out I know its not going to make my loose skin tight, oOr my stretch marks disappear ever and I'm ok with that because everyday I get to wake up to 4 beautiful smiling faces and I'm reminded that they are worth this flabby belly and they are worth these stretch marks.
“I still wear a bikini because being a mother makes me feel beautiful… not having a flat tummy.”
Kimberly continued powerfully: “It took a long time to get there, because I struggled so much with my body. I struggled so much because I was young and all these girls my age had perfect bodies and I was in my one piece bathing suit trying to hide all my flaws.
“And I'm not trying to say I have it worse than anyone else or bad or anything like that.
“I’m just reminding you guys that your body is beautiful... BECAUSE we ARE moms and we ARE superheroes and we freaking ROCK and in my opinion that is sexier than any 6 pack!”

The photo left a LOT of women feeling amazing about themselves.
One wrote happily: “I wanna like this a million times. I have 3 biological kiddos and they of course took a toll on my body.
“I have struggled for years to finally come to terms with my stretch marks and loose skin. It's taken me forever to love my body again (and even now I have my days).”
Taking the time to read through all of her comments, Kimberley thoughtfully replied: “I still have my days too!! But at the end of the day, I think to myself: ‘This is MY body - I have 2 choices, embrace it or spend my time being upset about it!
“I chose to embrace it! We're not perfect, especially after having babies! That's normal.”
She added firmly: “Remember... confidence is sexy, motherhood is sexy, not just flat tummies and being skinny!”
