When Matteo asked if there was ever a time she genuinely did not feel beautiful, Solenn answered honestly.

"I think everyone goes through those phases," Solenn shared calmly. "Also, after pregnancy, honestly, I think for a lot of women, that’s kind of like an eye-opener because you never get it when they talk about postpartum and everything."

Solenn explained that while carrying a child feels incredibly rewarding because "you’re growing a human," the major shift happens once the baby is finally welcomed outside.

"I feel after you give birth, the first three to six months... it’s the ugliest version of you in the sense where you don’t understand what’s happened to your body," she explained honestly.

When Matteo, visibly moved, asked if she went through this phase herself, Solenn confirmed that it is a universal hurdle for moms. She recalled the overwhelming exhaustion of staying home, losing sleep, dealing with breastfeeding pains, and watching friends live regular lives while her own world completely shifted.

"I think every girl [goes through it]," Solenn added. "Some have it worse than others, but I really think that's the one moment where I looked at myself and I was like, 'Who am I?'"
