US mum ends bikini body shamers with sizzling swimwear snaps

A mum-of-three with over four million followers has hit back at those who have shamed her for wearing skimpy swimmers with a series of sizzling snaps.

A mum-of-three has clapped back at online critics who claim she needs to “cover up” because she has children.

Jessie James Decker, an American country pop singer, shared a series of sizzling snaps to promote her swimwear brand Kittenish’s new collection.

The 35-year-old modelled a black bikini for the new range and poked fun at her haters in the process.

“‘Cover up you’re a mum,’” Decker wrote on Thursday, adding emojis of a cat face with tears of joy and an upside-down smiley face.

“This textured sexy little black numba amongst many other fabulous suits drops tomorrow @kittenish.

“So set your timers ... sweet cheeks. U don’t wanna miss this one. Meow.”

In the images, the mum donned a pair of black cat eye sunglasses as she posed on a chair. She accessorised with gold hoop earrings and a delicate gold necklace.

She has daughter Vivianne, 9, and sons Eric Jr, 8, and Forrest, 5, with husband Eric Decker, 36.

The two married in 2013 when the American football star was playing for the Denver Broncos.

Fans were quick to praise Decker, labelling the photos “sexy” and “iconic”.

“Like grandma says, if you have it then flaunt it,” one said.

“Mums are awesome and they wear bikinis too,” another wrote.

And another said: “Hottest mummy ever – haters just jealous, you’re an inspiration to all women!”

It’s not the first time Decker has fired back at critics with the mum responding to claims she photoshopped abs on to her children in a photo taken during a family trip to Mexico.

“It’s a sad world we live in today when having healthy, fit kids who are super active play sports are build [sic] muscle naturally is ‘weird,’” the country star responded.

However, many weren’t buying it, insisting the mum had digitally altered the beach photo, prompting Decker to respond: “Yeah I used an ‘ab’ app on my small children wtf,” Decker wrote in response.

She explained that her kids “eat well and do sports” to maintain their muscle. Vivianne also participates in gymnastics.

“We do a lot of home cooking. The kids love their steak and chicken,” she added.

Decker also called out those who suggested her kids look “unusual”, writing: “From one mother to another, please don’t call my children’s appearance strange just because they don’t look the way you think they should? It’s unkind.”

A few days later, Decker slammed her haters again as she shared a video of her children wearing swimsuits and playing by a pool during a family holiday in Mexico.

“Being accused of photoshopping abs on my kids (I can’t help but laugh) or … the polar opposite over ‘overtraining’ our kids makes me realise how bizarre our world has gotten regarding the body and what’s normal and what’s not,” she wrote in the caption.

She continued: “We preach about body positivity and acceptance but my kids having a mass amount of genetic and built muscle from athletics is ‘weird’?

“I want to raise my kids to feel proud of their bodies and hard work from either Vivis elite competitive gymnastics to Eric Jr wanting to be like dad as an NFL receiver to little Forrest who spends hours dancing his heart out.

“Let’s not pick and choose what we normalise regarding bodies and be accepting of all people and children. If we wanna do ‘better’ then do better.

“I’m proud of my children and encourage them to live their dreams. So we’ll see y’all at the 2032 Olympics, and wearing Bubby’s jersey in the stands and dancing at Forrest’s rock concert.”
