Kim Kardashian graces three different covers of Elle U.K. for its “Confidence” issue, but glamour didn’t always come this easy to the celebrity and she talks about it in the magazine.

The reality star spoke about maternity, her stolen nude photos and how she struggled with her body image growing up.

“It’s taken me a long time to be happy with my body and for my confidence to grow to what it is today,” she admits. “I grew up when the body to have was the tall, slim, supermodel one, like Cindy Crawford’s. No one looked like me. It’s good to break the mould and recreate one.”

One famous Latina that has credited Kim Kardashian for revolutionizing body beauty is Demi Lovato.

“I really credit women like Beyonce and Kim Kardashian… [they] completely revolutionized what our generation’s view of perception of what beautiful is and I really think that they had a huge impact on that,” Lovato said.

Her recent nude shoot for Paper magazine proved kim is proud of her celebrated curves but she did admit that she was upset about the recent naked pictures that were leaked online.
“I feel violated because these are private pictures. I didn’t choose for them to be out there. But I’m also realistic. I’m on covers of magazines naked, so I can’t go crazy about it. The only choice I can make is to not let it shake me up. I’m not having that choice taken away from me.”

The celebrity also opened up about how difficult it was for her to get pregnant — and how she is also considering IVF treatment.

“I want a boy and another girl; I want it to start happening straight away. I loved being part of a huge family – and I want that for North. We’d do IVF if nothing happens, but we both want to keep trying naturally. ” Kim added, “a few years ago I was told I could never get pregnant. Three different doctors told me the same thing, which is why I wanted to have my eggs frozen. I was just about to do that when I found out I was pregnant with North.”
