Whitney Port responds to claim she 'glorifies an unhealthy body image'
Whitney Port has responded to claims that she 'glorifies an unhealthy body image' for the young women who follow her. On Sunday, the 40-year-old star took to Instagram for an 'ask me anything' session. One person asked: 'Do you think your body glorifies an unhealthy body image for girls?' The mother-of-one said: 'I totally understand this question, and I appreciate you asking it with care. 'I never want my appearance to make anyone feel like they need to look a certain way - especially young kids.' 'I know I'm thin - it's how my body has mostly always been - but that doesn't mean I don't have my own complex relationship with food and body image. 'I continue to work with a nutritionist to help support a healthy relationship with eating and my body, and that journey is ongoing.' Whitney said she shares her life 'as honestly as I can, but I also recognize how powerful images can be'. She emphasized that 'health and beauty come in so many different forms, and I try to be mindful of that in what I put out into the world'. The star concluded: 'I'm always open to learning and doing better, especially as a mom to a son who's growing up in this same world.' Back in 2023, she previously admitted to not eating enough. She said: 'I do think I'm clearly not eating enough and that how I look right now does not look healthy. It's not how I want to look.' The ex-reality TV star then asked her fans not to 'worry' and explained she was planning to 'eat thoughtfully' and 'put the right things in (her) body,' as well as 'work out in a way that will build muscle'. In Sunday's AMA, Whitney was also asked about aging, with one person positing: 'How do you embrace getting older?' She once again gave an honest answer, writing: 'Physically, it's been a challenge to look at myself and not judge or expect things to look the way they used to. 'I started noticing the biggest changes around 38, especially in my skin - some sagging and crepiness - and that's taken some getting used to. 'Living in LA, where the obsession with staying young is so intense, it's easy to get caught up in it. I'm trying really hard not to let that happen. I want to care without being consumed. 'Emotionally, getting older has felt really good. There's more awareness, more perspective, and a deeper sense of who I am. 'I care less about things that used to take up way too much space in my head - and that part has been such a gift.'

The Hills Alum Whitney Port's Rare Video With Son Sonny Shows the Delicious Way They Bond
The Hills alum Whitney Port's son Sonny is truly her mini-me, from looks to their love of snacks; and this video proves it! In case you missed it, earlier this week, Port shared a darling video of her and her son. She shared the video on her Instagram with the caption reading, 'The biggest snackers you'll ever meet.' In the video, we see Port and her lookalike son Sonny being as adorable as can be, with Sonny revealing what he got from the convenience store: a Twinkie, Veggie Straws, and a Blueberry Slushie. Port jokes that it's the 'breakfast of champions' as he sillily eats with his mouth open, both of them smiling from ear to ear. How precious is this?! For those who don't know, Port and The City producer Tim Rosenman tied the knot in 2015, after getting together four years prior. They share a child together, a son named Sonny, born in July 2017. In a previous interview with Refinery29, Port talked about how her relationship with her body and her mindset on it all changed after becoming a mama. 'After having Sonny though, my perspective grew up. Getting my body back became less about losing weight and more about being healthy and feeling confident. I eat healthier now, I finally have the energy to work out, and overall, I'm just more forgiving of myself,' she said. 'Self-acceptance was the one the hardest things for me to learn after my pregnancy, and also the most freeing.' Before you go, check out you didn't realize are parents.
