Jenelle, 29, hopped on Instagram today as she enjoyed a day with her family on the water.
The reality star shared a clip of herself wearing a bright pink tie dye bikini as she flaunted her natural curves.
The TV personality captioned her shot: “Mom bod” as she watched her kids splash around in a North Carolina lake.
Jenelle has been facing off with Instagram trolls of late, who claim she gained a lot of weight.
The mom of three has insisted that she is “happy” with her current size and that she was “totally insecure” with her thinner frame a few years ago.
In a recent TikTok video, one of her fans commented: “Omg you used to be so thin what happened?”
Jenelle created a new video in response to the question, as she opened up about her body struggles over the years.
“Back in 2015 I started gaining weight and also I was being cheated on,” she explained along with a series of throwback images.
“And this is when I was feeling totally insecure and feeling like I needed to something about my body or I wouldn’t be loved.”
Along with several pictures of her working out, she added: “So I started going to the gym. Like damn, I looked good… but was I happy? No.
“Was I trying to impress people? Yeah.”
The young mom also shared images of herself posing on the beach, as she recalled: “Acting like I was living my best life, but I wasn’t happy.”
“Trying to be conceited once again but you know what? When you start living for yourself, this is when you’ll be happy.
“Happy wife, happy life. Strut your stuff. Happier is better, and no, I’m not pregnant – just happy,” she concluded.
Jenelle has previously admitted to going under the knife as she had a boob job in 2012 and lip fillers in 2016.
The Teen Mom star recently shared another video of herself in a purple bikini as she sang the words to Kendrick Lamar’s song Humble.
While singing along to the lyrics: “I’m so f**king sick and tired of the Photoshop. Show me something natural…” she showed off different aspects of her body.
Jenelle zoomed into her belly, acne scars on her chin, and the cellulite on the back of her thighs.
The controversial mom’s body positivity followed haters asking if she was pregnant with her fourth child.
“I have my tubes tied ya’ll,” she fired back.
Jenelle has three children with three different fathers, Jace, 11, with her ex Andrew Lewis, Kaiser, six, with her ex Nathan Griffith, and Ensley, four, with her current husband David Eason.
The couple was fired from MTV in 2019 after David shot and killed their family french bulldog, Nugget.
Child Protective Services got involved and they temporarily lost custody of their brood of children.
David also has two kids from previous relationships, Maryssa, 13, and Kaden, seven.
