One glance at Vanessa Lachey, and it's quite clear that she is one hot mama!

The TV personality and wife to singer Nick Lachey is soaking up every second as a new mommy to 9-month-old baby Camden, and we're beyond impressed with her slim, svelte postbaby bod!

The brunette beauty recently opened up to HuffPost Live and admitted she gained a whopping 65 pounds during her pregnancy, but it shrugged it off with a breezy smile and sunny disposition.

"Don't stress about losing it. It will happen when it happens," the star, who attributes her healthy weight loss to her busy lifestyle, said in the interview. "Just enjoy time being a mom. You've just had this wonderful, magical moment, and you shouldn't be stressing about that kind of stuff."

Sounds like sensible advice to us!

And hey, when all else fails, Lachey admits she also gets by with the help of some stylish support. "Spanx are amazing! Thank you to the inventor of that!"
