Beautiful inside and out. Professional wrestler Nia Jax took to Instagram on Thursday, April 6, to share a powerful message about self-love and confidence with her 400,000 followers.
Jax (born Savelina Fanene) was inspired to open up after meeting some of her fans at WrestleMania the previous weekend. In her post, she revealed how much it means to her to be able to help others find confidence.
“Posting a picture of myself in a bathing suit is VERY hard for me,” Jax, who usually dons a full bodysuit in the ring, captioned her photo. “I have never been one to show off too much skin, and it’s not just because I’m a larger woman.”
She continued: “After this amazing #Wrestlemania weekend I had a chance to speak to a bunch of young women & men. Most, if not all of them, mentioned that my #BodyPositive mindset had helped them to be able to find confidence within themselves, which really touched me and even brought me to tears numerous times.”
A post shared by Lina Fanene (@niajaxwwe) on Mar 28, 2017 at 6:27am PDT
The WWE star, 32, credited her supportive family and especially her mother for always reminding her that “beauty comes from within.” But she also admitted that she isn’t without insecurities. “Don’t get me wrong, there have been many occasions where I wished I could be thinner or have a different nose or hairline to fit in, but I realized that fitting in is not always as important as it seems; I realized that I love standing out in positive ways!”
In her Instagram post, Jax also opened up about prioritizing being healthy over physical appearance. “There are obviously times where I love to pig out and enjoy myself, but I always make sure to never lose my focus on being healthy, because no matter what, your health is the number one most important thing in life,” she said, adding, “We aren’t meant to look the same, but we are all meant to be healthy. We are all beautiful in different ways. Staying healthy adds to beauty.”
This isn’t the first time Jax has expressed the importance of being a positive role model. Last year, she spoke to the Miami Herald about her past as a plus-size model. “When I was able to walk out there and show younger girls, who are like me when I was their age — who didn’t see girls who are curvier being put in a beautiful light — it just made me think that I have to be able to show these girls that they are just as beautiful as the girls who are size 0,” she said at the time.

A WWE star is showing her followers a different kind of strength with a powerful new post about body positivity.
Professional wrestler Nia Jax, 32, is better known for her performances in the ring than for flashing skin on Instagram , but in a recent post she decided to try something a bit different - and tell an important story along with it.
Nia, whose real name is Savelina Fanene, donned a plunging black swimsuit for a stunning new selfie on the social media site, which has since gone viral.
Putting it out there: WWE star Nia Jax posted this swimsuit selfie on Instagram in order to spread an image of body positivity
Strong woman: The professional wrestler, whose real name is Savelina Fanene, was a plus-size model before being signed by the WWE
In the caption, she began by saying: 'Posting a picture of myself in a bathing suit is VERY hard for me. I have never been one to show off too much skin, and it's not just because I'm a larger woman.'
She went on to write about the young men and women she recently met at Wrestlemania, and how she had talked to many of them about body positivity.
'Most, if not all of them, mentioned that my #BodyPositive mindset had helped them to be able to find confidence within themselves, which really touched me and even brought me to tears numerous times,' she said.
Nia thanked her mother and the rest of her family for supporting her and helping her develop this mindset, saying her mother would tell her: 'No matter how beautiful you are on the outside, if your insides are ugly, that will be what everyone sees and feels.'
Looking up: She claimed that her mother and family helped her realize that 'No matter how beautiful you are on the outside, if your insides are ugly, that will be what everyone sees'
Get in the ring: Although Nia admits that she has had moments where she wished she looked different, she has realized that 'fitting in is not always as important as it seems'
Nia added: 'Don't get me wrong, there have been many occasions where I wished I could be thinner or have a different nose or hairline to fit in, but I realized that fitting in is not always as important as it seems; I realized that I love standing out in positive ways!'
Being a professional wrestler, Nia is always making she she gets plenty of exercise and eats healthy, and tells her followers that: 'We aren't meant to look the same, but we are all meant to be healthy.'
'We are all beautiful in different ways,' she said at the end of the post.
'Staying healthy adds to beauty. Even more importantly, it will increase your self-confidence. That's been my experience at least.'
Going big: Nia's body positive post has been liked nearly 50,000 times in four days
Taking it on: Nia constantly works out to keep fit for her role in the WWE
The post has racked up nearly 50,000 likes in just four days after being posted, and gained thousands of comments from inspired fans.
Nia isn't knew to being a voice about body positivity. Before being signed to the WWE in 2014, she was a plus-size model.
Speaking to the Miami Herald last year, she said: 'Once I realized, when I became a plus-size model, that there were more women like me, my confidence immediately shot through the roof.
'When I was able to walk out there and show younger girls, who are like me when I was their age - who didn’t see girls who are curvier being put in a beautiful light - it just made me think that I have to be able to show these girls that they are just as beautiful as the girls who are size 0.'

"We are all beautiful in different ways."
Take it from professional wrestler Nia Jax: The greatest love of all is learning to love yourself.
Sharing a gorgeous swimsuit selfie with her Instagram followers on Thursday, the WWE star offered an empowering and beautiful message about body positivity and the importance of self-love that pretty much everyone on the planet needs to hear. After admitting she's not too comfortable with sharing a swimsuit photo because she's "never been one to show off too much skin," Jax (a.k.a., Savelina Fanene) went on to discuss why she felt doing so was important to her.
"After this amazing [WrestleMania] weekend I had a chance to speak to a bunch of young women and men," she wrote. "Most, if not all of them, mentioned that my #BodyPositive mindset had helped them to be able to find confidence within themselves, which really touched me and even brought me to tears numerous times."
