Married At First Sight star with young twins shares ’embarrassing’ parenting struggle

Married At First Sight’s Melissa Rawson has shared a very relatable post about motherhood. 

Melissa found love with husband Bryce Ruthven on season eight of the reality show and the couple went on to have twin boys, Levi and Tate, now two.

While she loves being a mum, Melissa recently admitted to feeling like she’s ‘losing her sparkle’ and has lost confidence in the way she looks. 

‘This is embarrassing to say,’ she wrote on Instagram.

‘Other than this trackie set I bought recently because everything else I own is black, activewear or clothes that are a size too small (hoping for that ‘one day’ I might fit into them again), I don’t wear even a quarter of the clothes I own.

‘I honestly don’t have a lot of clothing, I don’t go out often but the truth is sadly, I’ve lost the pride and ‘the sparkle ✨’ in the way I look since motherhood.’

She continued: ‘Before babies, you’d never see me outside wearing daggy paint-stained trackies, let alone without a bit of makeup on and running a brush through my hair. Oh, but how times have changed.’

Melissa went on to explain she recently overheard a woman discussing a 30-day challenge where she planned to wear all the items in her wardrobe and put more effort into her appearance.

‘She didn’t say why other than what I took away from the idea of the challenge – to feel good in what you wear and how you present yourself,’ she explained.

In a bid to ‘shake things up a bit’ Melissa wondered if she should embark on a similar challenge.

‘I would love to feel a little more ‘glamorous’ and a little less ‘grubby’,’ she added.

The candid post struck a chord with many mums, dads, and followers who related to to her feelings and took to the comment section to share messages of support and encouragement.

‘As long as you feel good and you’re happy, who cares what others think,’ one follower wrote.
