Jenna Dewanwants to get one thing straight: motherhood and sex appeal go hand in hand.
The dancer, actress,World of Dancehost and mother of one opens up (and strips down) forforWomen’s Health‘s annual Naked Truth issue, telling the magazine she has “never understood” the concept of why having children seems to mean “you’re supposed to leave your sexuality at the door” for women.
“I think there’s nothing sexier than becoming a mother,” says Dewan, 37. “You give life. It’s everything. And you don’t change who you are inside just because you have a kid.”

“I want my daughter to see that and be like, ‘Wow, my mother was a fully actualized, sensual woman,’ ” says the star.
