Since then, the brand has experienced profitable double-digit growth and surpassed numerous milestones, including more than 3 million customers.

This collaboration started in 2019 when Gabrielle contributed her personal experiences and images in Knix’s Life After Birth book, published by Rizzoli in 2022.

The book presents a whole new look at the postpartum experience, based on the collective stories of everyday people and celebrities like Gabrielle and more.

“Over the past decade, Knix has built a foundation for supporting and celebrating all bodies exactly as they are – whether they sweat, bleed or leak,” a press release said.

Her next film is Space Cadets with actress Emma Roberts, who plays a Florida party girl, Rex, who proves to be the only hope for NASA’s space program.

This announcement comes after Union praised Taraji P. Henson for nurturing the “next generation” of black stars.

The actress has taken to social media to praise the Hollywood star, who recently revealed she is ‘tired of working so hard’ only to receive a ‘fraction’ of her salary.

In response to Taraji’s comments, Gabrielle wrote on X: ‘No damn lie was told. Not. A. Damn. Lie. We are going TO BAT for the next generation and even for our own generation and beyond. We don’t hesitate to be the change we all need to see AND it takes a toll on your mind, health, soul and career if we keep it 100 (sic)’

Taraji, 53, previously revealed that she is thinking of walking away from the film industry.

The actress told Sirius I’m tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over again. I hear people say: ‘You work a lot.’ I have to. Mathematics is not mathematics.

‘If you work a lot, you have a team. What we do comes with big bills. We don’t do this alone. We have a whole team behind us and they need to get paid. So when you hear someone say, “Oh, so-and-so made $10 million.” That did not end up on their account.

“Know that Uncle Sam gets 50 percent on top. So now we’re at five million. Your team gets 30 percent of what you earn. Not after what Uncle Sam took. Now do the math.

“I’m only human and it seems like every time I do something and break another glass ceiling, when it comes time to renegotiate, I’m back at the bottom as if I never did what I just did.”
