Vanderpump Rules’ new mom Brittany Cartwright shows off major weight loss after trolls said she ‘still looks pregnant’
VANDERPUMP Rules star Brittany Cartwright wore a sports bra and showed off her major weight loss in a new photo one year after giving birth.
The 33-year-old welcomed her first child, son Cruz, with her husband Jax Taylor last April.
Months after slamming trolls for saying she “still looks pregnant,” despite having already given birth, Brittany shared an update on her health and fitness journey.
Last week, she showed off her fit post-baby body in a low-cut sports bra and tight workout shorts, both in a matching black-and-white polka dot print.
She wore her brown hair up in a tight bun and gave a big smile for the camera as she leaned against her exercise bike.
The Vanderpump Rules star showed off her toned arm and legs, as well as a glimpse of her stomach in the revealing bra top.

In the caption, she shared: “As a busy mom making it to the gym isn’t always an option & this fabulous bike is my secret weapon!
“…I’m sure y’all know, things can get extremely busy and finding time to keep up with my workout routine can sometimes feel impossible.
“I love my MYX II bike because they have classes ranging from 10-60 minutes so I can squeeze in an effective workout anytime.”
The new mom continued: “Plus, their trainers are so encouraging and motivating that I actually look forward to working out!

“Today I am going to do a 20-min climb ride and then swivel my screen for a 10-min HIIT workout off the bike for a full body workout!”
Weeks after she’d given birth last year, Brittany slammed trolls who scoffed that she “still looks pregnant” in a red carpet photo with her husband Jax.
She shared a snap with him from the premiere of Midnight in the Switchgrass, where she wore a red wrap dress, and captioned it: “I keep seeing the comments that I look pregnant here.
“Well guess what? I probably do—I just had a baby 3 months ago, and my body is healing and I’m working hard to get back in shape.”
Shortly before that, the star had revealed that she’d been left in tears by cruel comments from online trolls about her pregnancy weight gain.
The new mom told Us Weekly that the comments had made her feel “ashamed” of her post-baby body compared to her costars, like Lala Kent, Stassi Schroeder, and Scheana Shay.
She said: “When I was pregnant, I got so many mean comments about what my weight gain was.
“I was being heavily compared to Stassi and Scheana and Lala. I’ve always been bigger than them, but my weight has always fluctuated and stuff.
“So it was just hard to see all those comments about my weight stuff when I was healthy and the baby was healthy.”
The Bravo star added: “You’re already so emotional. And then I was in quarantine, I was home, so I was looking at my phone more than I should have.
“There were times when it made me ashamed of how I looked, and I shouldn’t have felt like that.”
Brittany welcomed her son last April and announced it to fans, writing: “Yesterday, April 12th at 1:51pm, our lives changed forever in the absolute best way possible.
