Jessie James Decker is welcoming the new year with enthusiasm, sharing moments of her family’s vacation while emphasizing her commitment to health and happiness. On January 1, the country singer took to Instagram to express her New Year’s resolutions, stating, “2026 here we come baby!! Here’s to fresh starts, full hearts, happy babies and beautiful memories to come.” Decker, 37, highlighted her goals of prioritizing health, joy, and time spent with loved ones.
In her post, she showcased a series of photos featuring her children—Vivianne, 11, Eric Jr., 9, Forrest, 7, and Denver, 21 months—all enjoying the sun and surf in their swimsuits, proudly displaying their toned bodies. The images captured the family bonding and creating cherished memories on a tropical getaway. The response from fans was largely positive, with many praising the children’s fit physiques.
However, the attention on her children’s bodies isn’t new for Decker. Back in November 2022, she faced criticism after sharing family photos from another beach vacation, where similar reactions ensued regarding her children’s muscular appearance. Some social media users expressed discomfort, while Decker fiercely defended her children’s health and activity levels from the criticism. She emphasized that her kids are active in sports and have the genetics for their physique, citing that both she and her husband Eric Decker had similar athletic builds as children.
In an interview following the online backlash, Decker remained unapologetic about her family’s lifestyle. She mentioned her children’s involvement in gymnastics and other sports, using this as a point of pride rather than shame. Decker insisted on the importance of encouraging active lifestyles for children in a world where body positivity can sometimes be misconstrued.
As Jessie James Decker continues to navigate motherhood and her career, she highlights the importance of raising fit, happy children who embrace their passions and activity. Her unwavering support for her family demonstrates her dedication to fostering a positive environment, even in the face of online criticism. With the new year underway, Decker remains hopeful and committed to making memories that reflect her values of health and happiness.
