Candace Cameron Bure's daughter Natasha defends showing pregnant belly

Natasha Bure pushed back on complaints about her pregnancy on June 12, saying she will keep showing her growing baby bump until her baby arrives. In a TikTok clip, the 27-year-old said she had received countless DMs from people telling her to stop showing off her belly and to hide it.

The post is drawing attention now because Bure and Bradley Steven Perry announced last month that they are expecting their first baby, and the new video makes clear she is not backing away from that public reveal. She and Perry had shared matching blue striped button-downs and jeans, sipping from mugs that read Dada and Mama, with the caption Our dream role.

Bure said the backlash made no sense to her. She asked why anyone would be offended by a pregnant belly being out, then said plainly that she does not care. She said she has never been more proud of her body and that she is growing a little baby in it, words that landed differently because she also said she has dealt with body insecurity in the past.

That is the part critics seem to miss. Bure said she spent the first few months of pregnancy trying to conceal it, wearing baggy clothes and what she called the ugliest outfits she has ever seen, but now that she has a bump, she wants it visible. She said she loves looking down and seeing her little baby, and added that her belly will be out until further notice.

The friction is simple: Bure says pregnancy has given her a reason to be proud of her body, while some viewers are telling her to cover it. She said those messages came from grown women and included advice to put her belly away or buy a bigger shirt, even though she said she had less criticism about her belly when she was not pregnant.

That leaves the question of how long she keeps answering the criticism at all. For now, Bure has made her position plain: she intends to keep showing her belly, she expects people who dislike it to move on, and she appears determined to spend the rest of the pregnancy on her own terms.

Natasha is the oldest of Candace and Valeri's three children and has also acted in several TV movies, including A Christmas for the Ages. But in this moment, the focus is not her TV work or family name. It is the public line she drew on June 12 — pregnancy visible, criticism ignored.
