Former Love Island star Montana Brown has proudly showcased her 12-month postpartum figure on Instagram, offering an inspiring glimpse into her fitness journey after welcoming her second child. The 30-year-old reality television personality, who shares two children with her fiancé Mark O'Connor, took to social media to document her physical transformation and share candid reflections on motherhood.
Fitness Transformation Documented
In a series of video clips shared on Monday, Montana demonstrated her dedication to regaining fitness following the birth of her daughter Miley approximately one year ago. The content creator appeared in a seamless blue underwear set, confidently posing before her bathroom mirror to highlight her progress. Additional footage showed the television personality engaging in rigorous gym workouts with weights, embarking on outdoor running sessions, and undergoing cryotherapy treatments as part of her comprehensive fitness regimen.
Supportive Fitness Communities
Another revealing clip featured Montana wearing a seamless lilac bra with coordinating blue bottoms, further displaying her toned physique. She accompanied her post with an emotional caption explaining how returning to fitness has positively impacted her wellbeing. "Falling back into fitness has been my saviour this year," Montana wrote. "It's been such hard work but there are some pretty incredible fitness communities around."
The mother of two specifically thanked @aeptgym for supporting her journey from just two months postpartum, using hashtags including #fitness and #postpartum to connect with other mothers navigating similar experiences.
Ending Breastfeeding Journey
This fitness revelation comes just weeks after Montana openly discussed concluding her breastfeeding journey with daughter Miley, who will celebrate her first birthday next month. The Love Island star, who also mothers two-year-old son Jude, shared a lengthy post explaining her decision to stop breastfeeding after nearly a year.
Montana revealed that breastfeeding combined with co-sleeping had taken a significant toll on her mental health, leaving her feeling "irritable, impatient and angry" after experiencing three consecutive years of disrupted sleep patterns. She emphasised the importance of maternal wellbeing, stating there is "no award for breastfeeding the longest" and encouraging other struggling mothers to prioritise their own happiness.
Prioritising Personal Goals
In a separate weekend post featuring Montana in a bikini, the television personality discussed her commitment to "feeling her best" after dedicating years to her children's needs. "I feel like I've co-slept for 3 years, breast fed and just given every damn inch of myself to those babies," she wrote. "It has felt really nice to spend more time to focus on personal goals."
Montana expressed relief at concluding her breastfeeding journey, acknowledging that while breastfeeding is "a truly beautiful and natural thing," it had consistently impacted her mental wellbeing. She highlighted the challenges of reactive feeding without routine and the cumulative effect of sleep deprivation over three years.
Looking Forward with Purpose
Earlier this year, Montana participated in a social media trend where she listed what she's "walking into 2026 with," sharing her aspirations for personal growth. Her comprehensive list included "more focus, better fitness, less f**ks to give, more girl time, more boundaries, therapy, less toys for my kids, more adventure, better health, better phone etiquette, more cooking with my kids."
In an accompanying caption, Montana reflected on her journey back to self-confidence after having two children in quick succession. "Proud of myself for committing to feeling my best after 2 babies back to back," she wrote. "I don't know if any other mothers relate but I felt so shell shocked after Miley and was desperate to feel back to myself and have some confidence."
The television personality concluded with an empowering message for fellow mothers: "Mums, don't feel guilty you have brought humans into this earth and you deserve some time to focus on yourself." Montana's honest portrayal of postpartum recovery and maternal mental health continues to resonate with her substantial social media following.
