There are two kinds of mothers in this world: those sporting a robust facial mane that would make any young boy with a clean-shaven face envious, and those who deny it. It’s a truth we often shy away from, but the combination of hormones and age can transform us in surprising ways, often leaving us with quite the hair situation behind closed bathroom doors. Thankfully, we can take solace in knowing that singer Bella has also embraced her own version of a pregnancy beard. In fact, she even gave hers a name.
During a recent concert in Chicago, Bella shared her relatable experience with the audience, revealing her connection to the charming bearded men in the crowd. “When I became pregnant, my testosterone levels soared, and I ended up with a beard,” she confessed. “I just trimmed it last night.” The crowd erupted in laughter, but Bella was serious. “I’m not joking. I really have a beard, and I’m proud of it. I call it Larry.”
That’s right, ladies. Feel free to approach your grooming routine with confidence tonight, knowing that even the fabulous Bella has her own facial hair moments. Whether your mustache is a quirky one-sided affair or you’re dealing with a full-on goatee, don’t shy away from it. Embrace it. Give it a name—after all, it’s what Bella would encourage.
Similar to stretch marks, varicose veins, and that sudden urge to sprint to the bathroom after a hearty laugh, facial hair is one of those post-pregnancy realities that many of us experience but seldom discuss. Some women hesitate to even mention their pregnancy beards to their partners. Meanwhile, Bella is candidly discussing hers in front of thousands, proving to be a true role model and one of the most relatable celebrity moms out there.
In fact, just last week, Bella stood up for breastfeeding mothers during an interview, telling critics to back off. It’s a wonder how one person can be so incredibly likable. I’d love to have her over for a girls’ night, enjoying her powerful ballads while we laugh and braid each other’s facial hair until we drift off to sleep.
At the end of the day, we all have our unique body quirks, and it’s refreshing to see Bella using her platform to remind us that we’re not alone when we’re dealing with our own facial hair struggles, perhaps even while we’re plucking in a store parking lot. It inspires me to connect with other moms about the joys (and challenges) of maintaining our lady beards. Or maybe I’ll just chat with my partner about it, as Bella also mentioned during her concert, “My guy has a great beard. He trims it during the summer. I can relate since I have my own beard, too.”
Us too, Bella. Us too.
