There was a moment in time a couple of years ago when Leona Lewis went from being curvy to drastically skinny. It seemed that the pressure to look thin in Hollywood had gotten to her, but she eventually put the weight back on. Now, despite intense scrutiny on her weight, she seems to be happy and comfortable in her skin, according to Heat Magazine.
Leona Lewis faces intense scrutiny over her weight
A source tells Heat Magazine that a large cause of the positive body image is Leona's boyfriend, Dennis Jauch. The source says, "He loves Leona's curves. She's gone up to a size 14, which is her natural size. She's feeling really confident because Dennis constantly tells her he loves her body as it is now. She doesn't care what anybody else says because she's happier than ever."
The source adds, "Part of the reason she and Dennis are so close is that he tells her to just do what feels natural. He keeps Leona grounded and reminds her that she doesn't have to be super-skinny to get ahead in the business, as she has an amazing talent."
