Easily one of the most relatable moms in Hollywood, Chrissy Teigen has admitted that she's "super insecure" about her body after having her second baby, two-month-old Miles. In typical Chrissy fashion, she took to Instagram to share her woes, taking snaps and video footage of her post-baby body. Zooming in on a few stretch marks, the mother-of-two said: "Guess these just aren’t gonna go away. This is my new body."

Her sense of humour and down-to-earth personality always shines through. After posting to her Instagram story, the supermodel decided to elaborate on her popular Twitter account, writing: "Instagram is crazy. I think it’s awesome people have killer bodies and are proud to show them off (I really do!!) but I know how hard it can be to forget what (for lack of a better word) regular ol’ bodies look like when everyone looks bonkers amazing."

She continued: "also I don’t really call this “body confidence” because I’m not quite there yet. I’m still super insecure. I’m just happy that I can make anyone else out there feel better about themselves!"

We love you, Chrissy!
