Mai admitted that her self-confidence took a hit while in the midst of divorcing her husband of 10 years, Freddy Harteis. She revealed on The Real that he was expecting a baby with someone else, before they had even divorced. “You wake up with a rock in your heart and you feel like you can’t really make it through the day because it’s just so heavy,” she said.

Luckily, Mai has gotten her groove back and is currently dating rapper Jeezy. She is also embracing her curvier figure. She revealed that she has started a new diet and exercise plan and has gained 17 pounds — and loves showing it off.
“Reading my story, and others like it, they've come to the realization that being strong is sexy and they want to get there, too," she said.
Baby, How You Feelin’?
Mai shows off her sexy cleavage in a tan top with glossy lips, as she captioned the photo with the reasons that she loves being on her own.
“Nobody complains that I got Lionel Richie & Lizzo on repeat. I can dream the impossible without the basics bringing me down. I'm bomb company. No pants hunnay.”
It sounds like she is taking Lizzo’s anthem to heart! “I do my hair toss, check my nails. Baby, how you feelin’? Feeling good as hell!”
Looking like this, she won’t be alone for long!

Mai went all out with 2019’s Halloween for Gabrielle Union’s Halloween party. Wearing braids, temporary tattoos and a cropped denim top, she showed off her hot Halloween look, inspired by her favorite singer Kehlani.
“Mad love and props … keep inspiring sis,” she wrote.
Post-Workout Glow
Wearing a sports bra and yoga pants, Mai shows off her post-workout glow in this sexy selfie. The star recently revealed she had put on 17 pounds — and has never felt better.
"I was 103 pounds for 12 years, and what's crazy is that I actually wanted to weigh 100," she told Shape. "Honestly, it was for no other reason than the fact that I thought it would be cool to say that I weighed 100 pounds."
Goldenn Hour
“When your roots are soo bad u post subliminal selfies to guilt trip your colorist from leaving for Dubai,” Mai captioned this sexy photo, wearing a green top that shows off her figure.
Bespectacled Beauty
“Yes hunnnnayyyy I have specs appeal,” Mai joked in the caption. She lays in bed wearing a Clash shirt with her hair in a sexy, tousled bedhead look.
Kisses
Wearing gold mirrored glasses and a low-cut pink dress, Mai gives a kiss to the camera in this sexy photo at Art Basel in Miami.
“Dontcha think every party needs a kissing booth,” she teased in her caption.
Getting Glam
Mai shows off her “Damnnn Glam” look for the People’s Choice Awards in a light pink asymmetrical gown. The Real was up for an award for Daytime Talk Show for 2019, but they lost to The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
You know what they say, it’s an honor just to be nominated!
Mai Oh Mai!
“Mai baby hairs be down like Chinatown,” the talk show host captioned this cute selfie, as small pins clipped her hair back during makeup.
Mai worked at a MAC makeup counter when she was just 18. “At MAC, I loved teaching women how to get ‘the look.’ It not only created a unique sisterly bond between us, but also equipped them with a confidence that’s better than anything you could bottle. Behind the makeup counter, I could reach 100 people a day, but I realized that on television, I could reach thousands,” she said in an interview.
All Natural Selfie
Mai looks gorgeous in this fresh-faced selfie after her workout. “Home from Saudi and feel sooo holiday sluggish,” she captioned this video, in which she looks anything but sluggish.
Mai looks fit and trim in a pink sports bra and workout pants, with her waist tattoo peeking out of her pants.
Getting Real
Mai looks gorgeous in this glammed up selfie, with tan lip gloss and light green eyeshadow.
“You won't notice the progress but one day you'll be dancing at a new joint, and in the middle of your fave song you'll realize.. you're dancing again!,” she writes in the caption, undoubtedly referring to her recent divorce. “That's how progress happens. It happens slowly. You'll go thru painful days, sleepless nights. You'll doubt yourself and trust no one around you. That doubt will diminish with time, until you laugh your first real laugh in weeks, put on new makeup you haven't tried, and one day you're excited to go out again.”
“It's ok to absorb your sadness,” she continued. “It's ok to give yourself time. How else are you going to recognize your light to real joy? Don't fake it til u make it. Face it til u make it. Worked for me.”
Mellow Yellow
Mai gets colorful in this bright yellow workout outfit. “Health and self love have always been mad important to me,” she wrote in the caption.
"I remember my heart beating out of my chest when the scale hit 107, which was usually the highest I'd ever let myself get," she told Shape. "But the numbers kept climbing and I had to really focus on not talking myself down and focus on my end goal, which was to become healthier and stronger."
Sultry Selfie
“Alexa play All My Time by Lauryn Hill,” wrote Mai about this sultry selfie. She keeps her face fresh with her hair in natural curls around her face.
Totally Kissable
“Ahhh the good ol days when Janay lined this lipcolor wit darkkkk brown,” she captioned the photo. Mai actually worked on clients like Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera as a MAC makeup artist while trying to get an agent to score a television gig.
“I wasn’t going to sit on my butt and wait for an agent. The way I see it, we each have the same number of hours in the day as Beyoncé, so we’ve got to hit it just as hard,” she said.
