Ashley Tisdale French is getting candid about her postpartum body.
The actress and mom of two, 40, shared a photo on her Instagram Stories on Monday, April 13, and spoke honestly about her feelings towards her body. Tisdale French, who welcomed her daughter Emerson in 2024, shared that it was the first time she "felt comfortable" wearing a bikini.
"19 months post partum [sic]. No shortcuts," Tisdale French wrote across the photo. "PT for diastasis twice a week and @pilates_by_amanda (whenever I drive in to LA so not as consistent)."
"I'm not exactly where I want to be yet but it's the first time I have felt comfortable wearing a bikini since having Emerson so that's a win!" she continued. "Reminder, everyone is different PP so let's try to give ourselves grace and not compare."
