Actress Sofia Arruda opened up to her followers on February 13, 2026, sharing her honest feelings about her body after welcoming her second child. While acknowledging she isn’t completely satisfied with her physical shape, the 36-year-traditional emphasized she is at peace with the choices she’s made.
“The first photograph was taken on my honeymoon in 2018, before I became pregnant with my first child. The second photograph was taken today, February 2026, after two pregnancies, two cesarean sections, and eight years,” she explained, posting a side-by-side comparison on Instagram.

“My body, like yours, is incredible, but it needs care, dedication, time, consistency, and good daily choices to be at its best. And its best isn’t just aesthetic, it’s functional!” Arruda wrote.
“Do I like my belly today? No. Could it be ‘worse’? It could, but I also could have opted for ‘xpto’ procedures and I didn’t. I chose another path. This one is undoubtedly slower, more frustrating, but it’s my choice,” she shared about her reflections on her body.
Arruda is a mother to six-year-old Xavier and two-year-old Olívia, who will turn two in April.
“I don’t grasp what yours is, but I’ll advise you that a good motivation technique is: choose a photo of yourself and be inspired by it, craft your choice and hold on tight! Moms and anyone else who wants to join, we’re together in this process!” she encouraged.
“Now memorize this second image because soon I’m going to get back to better than I was in 2018,” the actress concluded.
“Anorexia is a serious illness and not an adjective”, said Carolina Pinto after being the target of a malicious comment. Marco Costa’s girlfriend responded directly to a message sent by a follower.
