Lesley Murphy Shows Off Postpartum Body 1 Week After Giving Birth: 'This Is as Real as It Gets'
She’s in awe! Lesley Murphy headed over to Instagram on Saturday to praise her body one week after giving birth to daughter Nora Blanche, whom she shares with fiancé Alex Kavanagh.
“Last week in versus first week out,” the “Bachelor” alum wrote alongside a pair of mirror selfies. “I’ve always been fascinated by the human body but didn’t know its full depth and capability until now. Also didn’t know I was going to post these when I was taking them lol, but this is as real as it gets. No makeup, disposable undies, messy bed, tired eyes, full heart.”
Lesley concluded her caption by describing her pregnancy as “the biggest privilege, one that I’ll never take for granted.”

The blonde beauty’s baby bump was on full display in her first photo, a throwback from her final trimester. In the second pic, Lesley shows off her postpartum body in a purple sports bra and gray shorts.
Lesley introduced Bachelor Nation to Nora on Valentine’s Day two days after her arrival on February 12. “I find her so perfect that sometimes words fail me and I’m left in tears instead...like right now,” the proud mom wrote alongside hospital photos with Alex and their bundle of joy. “Pure love is being home with this little ball of joy on a snowy Valentine’s Day as a family of 3!”

Lesley announced her baby news with Alex in September. “Baby Kavanagh taking flight in 2021!” she wrote on Instagram at the time, expressing excitement at starting a family with Alex. “Finally, someone to occupy the middle seat. @drone.pilot and I couldn’t be more excited to grow our little family!”
One month later, the couple relocated from Southern California to settle down in Lesley’s home state of Arkansas. The “Road Les Traveled” blogger and the hunky Australian DRONEGEAR founder got engaged on February 4, 2020.
