Kate's Journey as a Mom and Her Fitness Journey

Since becoming a mom to her adorable mini-me, Kate has been on a journey of self-discovery and growth. The owner of Fabletics, known for her dedication to health and fitness, has taken a different approach this time around when it comes to getting back into shape after pregnancy. “Kate didn’t resort to the same surgeries or crash diets that so many of her Hollywood friends have done in the past, and recommended to her,” an insider revealed to Closer Weekly. Instead, she’s been working hard every day, focusing on exercise, eating healthy meals full of leafy greens and steamed chicken, and taking plenty of post-natal vitamins. It’s all about doing things the right way, and Kate’s dedication is truly inspiring.

As Rani continues to grow, there’s no doubt she’ll inherit her mom’s strength and determination. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things this little girl will accomplish in the years to come. Here’s to many more birthdays and adventures for Rani and her amazing family!
