In a deeply personal essay penned for Glamour on May 20, 2022, Graham candidly reflected on her experience with giving birth to twins and learning to love her postpartum body.
"Like so many women, what I went through with childbirth has reshaped my relationship with my body — and I say this knowing that I am the person who has been shouting from the rooftops to you all, 'Love the skin you're in,'" she says. "Yet for me, the births of all my three children threw a lot of that out of the window."
Later in her letter, Graham described the immense stress she felt over being expected to "snap back" after giving birth. "I have always fought against unfair and unrealistic standards and yet, if I am being completely honest, here I was, expecting myself to snap back. And fast," she said. "I was like, 'You don't understand. I used to be a sex symbol, and now I am a baby-making machine and I have stretch marks up to my belly button. What the eff is happening?' Then one day I just stopped and thought, 'Screw it, this is my life.'"
