Faith Hill In A Bikini At 41

"Wearing a bikini on a magazine cover is my 41st birthday present to myself," country superstar and mother-of-three Faith Hill tells December's Shape, out Nov. 10, about returning to her three-times-a-week Pilates routine recently. When she first took up the exercise regimen, she explains, "I could bend in ways I haven't been able to since I was a teenager." She then adds, "My husband (Tim McGraw) loves it!

"I was always very athletic, playing basketball and softball and running track. But in my 20s and 30s, I'd go through phases with exercise, working out for four weeks before a big tour or video shoot and not doing much afterward. Then I had three kids and turned 40, so I decided to make a lifestyle change."

She looks Great! wow! she really is that thin and looks that amazing in real life. i have seen her many many times. and for those of you who say her head looks big. its true, not to sound mean but she does have kind of a big head in real life. but she looks amazing!!!

[booboo111]

AND TO THINK SHE COULD HAVE HAD ME INSTEAD OF THAT TIM WHATSISNAME.

[emncaity]

I feel certain that she'll never get over that.

I remind everyone to look at this excellent post on Faith Hill, before and after photoshop:

As a former employee of an extremely large magazine publisher, I can tell you that NO picture you ever see has anything to do with real life. The real Ms. Hill looks good for 41 and I wish they'd show that, not this airbrushed, slimmed, and trimmed piece of photoshop manipulation.

anytime babe. amazing..keep it comimg

[slimcat77]

her head looks big because she's under weight. Is anyone else as tired of seeing actress's CHEST BONES as I am. ick....

[ElectroJones]

You sound more like a fatcat77.

[hereforthefunofit]

looks how she sounds.

[RuffNReddy]

I don't even think that's her real body.
It so looks like her head was photoshopped onto another body.
Doesn't her head look gigantic??

[Nylund]

Her head IS gigantic. They probably shrunk it down here as it is.

[hwebb54]

I hope my wife looks like that when she turns 41. Hell I wish she looked like that when she was 21. LOL

[hungariangirl]

and how do you Look like?

[norsegirl]

This is the worst kind of false advertising meant to make women her age (like me) feel bad about ourselves. Why can't the real photo be put on the cover and not this obvious air-brushed version? I might believe the body was real if I could see the lines and wrinkles on her face. At least Jamie Lee Curtis was brave enough to show it like it is! Faith needs to go eat something...

[parvo63]

Actually, you need to loose weight, sweetheart.

[norsegirl]

That's kind of a dumb comment, you don't know what I look like and you besides, you just made my point. Sorry you feel so bad about yourself.

[parvo63]

I mean, that's her actual body, trust me. Been there seen that.

[rmetz74]

This from the guy who says Jon Stewart just became a US citizen.

Whatever you say, dude.

[arizonastudent01]

Yeah, not real, fake photo. But what do I know. I just remember I loved Shania Twain. Wasn't it Faith who bad mouthed Shania about showing her belly button? Maybe I am wrong. But since then, what I thought I heard, my ratings for Faith were lowered. Then what shocked me was she was naked (imagined) in a bed with god knows what guys were imagining, IN BED!! That was gross. I loved the song but please. Now this. Oh please.....air brush! See she is lowered in my view. I can't higher the rating on her whether she comes off as nice any more. I think her husband whines in his songs too, I can't stand his whining voice. But that is just me.

[WindyCity2LA]

You go girl!!! I am 44 and not a celebrity and I still wear a bikini. Why do people think being over 40 is the end of looking good? You do not have to have money and fame to look good. Just a desire to do so...

[JoeLib]

And I just turned 40 and am launching a career of evaluating 40-something women in bikinis. I feel it is an underserved population. I'm selfless like that... a giver. What can I say? ;-)

[MrGiggles]

Airrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Bruuuuuuuush, Airrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrr­rr Bruuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuu­uuush

[honeydiva]

lolololol!

[Darsan54]

In the days of Photoshop, how much can you trust. I am sure Faith Hill is way hotter in reality than most of us, but how does she really compare to the printed cover?

[NedFlanders19]

When I want to see a picture of a beautiful woman, I always go for the ones in a bikini with a sweater. If you're going to be on the cover in a bikini, lose the sweater.

[IndependentTogether]

41? Not impressed. Hey, don't get me wrong, she is *hot*. However, women (and men) looking that good at forty is no longer an anomaly. If you want so see something truly amazing, Helen Mirren looks *phenomenal* in a bikini... and she's in her 60's!

[SoonerThought]

You got that right!

[brettjay]

very nice!

I worked for Faith and Tim for 3 years. I can tell you that I've seen her in a bikini and she looks this great in real life. She has great genes. She is adopted and her biological mother is very thin. In fact she has a harder time keeping on the weight and eats very well. I think it's great that she works out to stay toned. Also, she has not had any plastic surgery. I promise.
They probably did minimal photo shopping but I remember seeing her after she had her third daughter and thinking how in world does she have abs after 3 children? Genetics!
