I’m a pageant mom – my daughter started competing aged two, now she’s a gymnast but gets trolled for having abs at seven
A PROUD pageant mom has revealed her daughter has abs at the age of seven – a fact that really gets under trolls’ skin.
Kynlee has competed in pageants since was two and always lived an active lifestyle, but some say it’s too much for a young girl.
When pageant mom Angel Heiman entered Kynlee into her first beauty competition, she says she could instantly tell that she was a natural performer.
The talented child often came out on top with very little training.
She also ran a cheer gym, and Kynlee would pick up the routines straight away just by watching at the age of three.
“She works so hard for this and is proud of how strong she is. She inspires so many people,” Angel said to The U.S. Sun.
The supportive mom first noticed that her daughter, Kynlee, had abs when she was just three years old.
When the pandemic hit, Angel had lots of gymnastic equipment at home, so she started practicing with Kynlee because they had so much time on their hands.
As a result, she started becoming strong and muscular.
The more that Kynlee learned, the more she fell in love with gymnastics and decided that she wanted to compete in the Olympics.
“She [Kynlee] does lots of ab exercises to keep them prominent,” she detailed.
The Los Angeles resident admitted that Kynlee often receives negative comments on social media about her six-pack.
She swiftly deletes them because she believes what her daughter has achieved is amazing.
“I don’t want to look back and think I had to hide my child because other people couldn’t handle how she looks,” she divulged.
“I don’t regret sharing pictures of her abs, but sometimes I don’t want to hear everyone else’s opinions on it.”
When Kynlee turned five, she started attending a gym where she could properly hone and perfect her skills.
She usually goes there around four times per week, however, she sometimes trains at home with Angel as it can be more convenient.
“Kynlee can’t wait to start competing in gymnastics competitions now that she is old enough,” the reassuring mama revealed.
Angel said that Kynlee works hard, so she isn’t surprised by how muscular she is.
She added: “Kynlee is so little but so strong. I slept next to her in a hotel recently, and it was like sleeping next to a little brick. She’s solid.”
Angel claimed that it might have to do with genetics because three of her other children are also muscular.
“Kynlee and one of her brothers are always competing on who has the better abs,” she said.
The seven-year-old eats a very healthy diet which she loves, but as any kid does, she enjoys a treat from time to time with cookies being one of her favorites.
“She’s so active all the time, it doesn’t matter if she has treats,” Angel said.
When describing her daughter’s bubbly personality, the lively mom explained that she is “over the top” but not in an obnoxious way and always picks up on other people’s needs.
Kynlee loves to get dressed up in her glam girlie outfits and had her first trip to a nail salon with Angel when she was just two years old.
However, after a few years of practice, Angel says that Kynlee is now way beyond her with her beauty skills as the seven-year-old can now create a full face of makeup that most adults would be jealous of.
Angel said that her daughter had big dreams very early and is a natural at whatever she does – pageants, gymnastics, acting, and dancing.
She explained: “She’s still very focused on becoming an Olympic gymnast one day, as well as a famous actress when she is older.”
The proud parent said that it felt right seeing Kynlee so happy performing and making everyone else around her happy while she did it.
