    She added an inspirational message as a caption for the revealing photo.
    Kennedy wrote: “Loads of people asked me if I got stretch marks from the twins…and the answer is yes & extremely stretched skin. It’s something that I knew could happen, but I struggled to come to terms with it during my pregnancy.
    “Since the twins arrival, I’ve been learning to love my new body(and don’t get me wrong, I still have my moments of negativity) But I keep reminding myself of the positives and how I’m SO grateful for how my body carried and nurtured 3 healthy babies….and two at once!!!

    “The women’s body is absolutely incredible. Mamas…be easy on yourself and give yourself some grace when it comes to postpartum bodies.”

    The beautiful Hungarian model, 31, has wowed fans with swimsuit shots and her fine physique for years on Instagram.
    And she had jaws dropping again last month as she posed in a barely-there bikini.
    Now Viktoria, who also enjoyed a holiday Marbella this summer, has left her 610k followers stunned again on social media.
    She posted a number of snaps to her 610k followers on Instagram last night that will have blown them away again.

    With long flare-like jeans covering her legs above some high heels, Viktoria left little to the imagination above the waist.
    She had a tiny Verguenza top covering her chest and lower arm, but there was plenty of flesh on show elsewhere.
    “That top WOW,” declared one follower as the comments started to flood in.
    Viktoria was told by another that they “adored” her while another message read: “Sweet, sexy, amazingly beautiful.”

    “That’s a very hot outfit,” said another while a fellow admirer simply wrote: “Outrageous.”
    Viktoria tied the knot with former Italian international Pelle, 38, after he got down on one knee to propose in 2021.
    The now retired striker hired out the helipad of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai to ask Viktoria for her hand in marriage – and thankfully she said yes, prompting kisses, champagne and celebrations with family.
    Pelle last played with Parma in 2021 in a short 13-game stint that took his club career tally to 500 appearances.
    That also included spells in Holland and China either side of his two years in the Premier League with Southampton.
    The powerhouse was a firm favourite on the South Coast, scoring 30 times in 81 outings as Saints finished seventh in 2015 and sixth in 2016 under Ronald Koeman.
    Pelle also won 20 senior caps for Italy, scoring nine times, including against England in 2015 and twice at Euro 2016.

    Liverpool star Diogo Jota’s Wag brands Tottenham clash ‘rigged’ and rages at ‘clown’ VAR officials

    LIVERPOOL star Diogo Jota’s wife has unleashed a furious blast at VAR “clowns” and claims the clash with Tottenham was “rigged”.Rute Cardoso lashed out at Premier League officials following the Reds’ controversial defeat on Saturday.

    Liverpool suffered a 2-1 loss at Spurs after finishing the game with nine men.
    Curtis Jones was issued a straight red in the first half after his foot slipped on the top of the ball and caught Yves Bissouma.
    They also had a perfectly good Luis Diaz goal ruled out wrongly for offside after a VAR mix-up.
    That led to the PGMOL issuing a statement admitting that a “significant human error” took place and called the decision “a clear and obvious factual error” by VAR official Darren England.
    READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
    Things got even worse for Liverpool in the 69th-minute when Portuguese forward Jota, 26, was given his marching orders for a second yellow card.
    That left the Reds hanging on for a draw, but their brave efforts came undone in the final seconds as Joel Matip’s own goal condemned them to defeat.
    And Rute was in no mood to forgive and forget afterwards as she took to social media to vent her fury.
    She posted the PGMOL statement on her Instagram story along with the caption: “Rigged game.”
    Most read in Football

    She then went on to add a clip of Jota’s first yellow card, which came after Spurs ace Destiny Udogie went down after minimal contact from Jota.
    Rute added a clown emoji to the footage, which had been posted by Liverpool fan page with: “This was given as a yellow card.”
    Reds boss Jurgen Klopp was also fuming after the game, and in response to Jota’s dismissal he said: “The two situations, the first I think is clear not a yellow. The second I didn’t see actually back but it’s not important.
    “If the first is not a yellow then we still play with 10 men.”
    Jota, who will now miss the upcoming Premier League trip to Brighton, and Rute moved to England in 2017 when he joined Wolves from Atletico Madrid.
    He signed for Liverpool in 2020 and the following year the couple welcomed their first child into the world.
    Rute is no stranger to showing her support for her man on social media and regularly keeps fans updated with snippets from their personal life on there.
    Pretty brunette Rute and Jota met when they were just 13, and have been together ever since.
    Like any footballers’ Wag, Rute has taken to a glam lifestyle with ease and she has even settled into UK-living watching her favourite TV show Peaky Blinders.
    They began dating in 2013, when they got together at high-school in Porto.
    Rute often shares snaps of her and Jota’s adventures on social media
    She appears to be a big fan of travelling, often joining Jota on holidays of a lifetime.
    Over recent years she has shared Instagram stories and photos on the beaches of the likes of Mauritius, Marbella and the Maldives.
    Meanwhile, Liverpool have broken their silence on the VAR fiasco by slamming those at fault – and promising to “escalate” the issue.
    They released a statement saying they do not accept the explanation given by the PGMOL in their apology.
    It read: “Liverpool Football Club acknowledges PGMOL’s admission of their failures last night. It is clear that the correct application of the laws of the game did not occur, resulting in sporting integrity being undermined.
    “We fully accept the pressures that match officials work under but these pressures are supposed to be alleviated, not exacerbated, by the existence and implementation of VAR.
    “It is therefore unsatisfactory that sufficient time was not afforded to allow the correct decision to be made and that there was no subsequent intervention.
    “That such failings have already been categorised as “significant human error” is also unacceptable. Any and all outcomes should be established only by the review and with full transparency.
    “This is vital for the reliability of future decision-making as it applies to all clubs with learnings being used to make improvements to processes in order to ensure this kind of situation cannot occur again.
    Read More:
    “In the meantime, we will explore the range of options available, given the clear need for escalation and resolution.”
    Action was taken by the PGMOL on Sunday as they removed VAR England from Nottingham Forest’s draw with Brentford.
