5 stars that bloomed only with the birth of children

Vera Brezhneva

Looking at Vera, you never cease to be amazed at howthe mother of two children can look so fantastic. She denies the assertion with her whole appearance that after giving birth a woman is no longer her first freshness. Brezhneva has been at the top of the ratings of the sexiest stars in Russia for many years and is an ideal for millions of girls.Photo: Mikhail Murzin/PhotoXPress.ruPhoto:Maxim RatnikovWhen the blonde joined the golden line-up of VIA Gra, she already had a daughter, Sonya. It seems surprising now, but Vera was not always a beauty. In her youth, she was plumper, and the future star also wore glasses. In order to perform on stage, she had to lose weight, and she got rid of her glasses as soon as she had money – she had her vision corrected. In 2009, she gave birth to her second daughter, Sarah, and very quickly got back into shape. The singer regularly trains in the gym and denies herself simple carbohydrates. “I don’t eat sweets,” says Brezhneva. “I’m a rock.”

Polina Gagarina

Another chiseled blonde whose beauty isthe result of many years of hard work on her body. Back in 2003, she won "Star Factory - 2" as a round-faced and curly-haired plump girl. Even then, she was a bit plump for the stage, and when she gave birth and gained 40 kilograms, she became completely out of shape.Photo: Yavorskaya Yana/PhotoXPress.ruPhoto:Sergei DzhevakhashviliFor a long time, Gagarina did not appear on air and struggled with her weight. And when she won, everyone gasped - here he is, the new sex symbol of the Russian stage! Now she looks even better than ten years ago. Polina is 29, and she already has second place at Eurovision, filming in films, advertising, and a grown-up son. Now Gagarina dreams of a second baby.

Natalya Chistyakova-Ionova

14 years ago Natasha appeared in the imagedrawn cartoon character, and a little later appeared before the audience in her real form. Bleached hair, tan, massive boots and extravagant clothes became Gluk’oZa’s calling card. Young, daring, a little angular – a kind of Pippi Longstocking. That’s exactly what she was for a long time, until she married businessman Alexander Chistyakov. Natalia gave birth to a daughter and disappeared from the stage, and a few years later she returned, but in a completely different image. Fans did not recognize the former Gluk’oZa in this calm and tastefully dressed lady. Her movements became smooth, and her figure – feminine.Photo: Oleg Proshin/PhotoXPress.ruPhoto: Anatoly Lomokhov/PhotoXPress.ruMany people think that Natalia has enlarged her breasts, making them more seductive. The girl does not hide the fact that she owes her beautiful body to yoga. Her microblog contains a photo where the singer demonstrates a high level of performing complex asanas. It was yoga plus proper nutrition that helped her lose weight after her second birth. And recently, Gluk’oZa hinted on Instagram that she wants to become a mother for the third time, posting a photo of herself in a swimsuit before and after pregnancy. “I admit honestly, it was scary to take this photo,” the star commented. “Not because I haven’t gotten in shape – there was enough time for that! But because my girl has grown up, and I really feel that I want to experience the feeling of pregnancy again!”

Victoria Makarskaya

Anton Makarsky's 43-year-old wife lookssignificantly younger than her age. It is difficult to find wrinkles on her fresh face, although the singer practically does not use decorative cosmetics and posts selfies without Photoshop. And a couple of years ago, Makarskaya became the face of the largest Israeli brand of cosmetics for skin health.Photo: Tarakanov Vadim/PhotoXPress.ruPhoto: Natalia Loginova / PhotoXPress.ruVictoria admits that she never considered herself beautiful and began to like herself only when God gave her children. The singer says that she does not resort to radical methods of cosmetology and does not go to a fitness club, but tries to eat more modestly and think correctly. “Gossip less and, most importantly, do not envy anyone,” she advises her subscribers. “And so on, little things: parsley, salads, cucumbers, hot peppers. Quit smoking.” Makarskaya assures: only a kind and happy woman can look good, and no beauty injections will help evil and bitchy ones. Motherhood has also changed Victoria’s style - she gave up the short skirts that she loved so much in her youth, and now wears long feminine dresses.

MakSim

The 33-year-old singer is the mother of two charmingdaughters, and she herself could easily pass for their older sister. Many years have passed since her hit “Trudny Vozrast” blew up the country’s charts, but MakSim looks like the same young red-haired girl with a gentle voice.Photo: Dmitry Korobeynikov/PhotoXPress.ruPhoto: Anatoly Lomokhov/PhotoXPress.ruThe girl knows her strengths and takes part in candid photo shoots without embarrassment. For example, she was photographed in the men's magazine of the same name, Maxim, when she was pregnant, and looked feminine, not vulgar. And when she became a mother for the second time, three weeks later she surprised everyone by going out in public in an open outfit, demonstrating her slender figure. MakSim keeps herself in shape thanks to sports and an active lifestyle, and this fragile creature also does boxing.
