Roselyn Sanchez Reveals Post-Baby Body Secrets, Dishes On Working With Navy SEALs For ‘Act Of Valor’

Roselyn Sanchez gave birth to daughter Sebella Rose just seven short weeks ago and she’s already looking stunningly svelte – so what’s her secret?

“Breastfeeding,” the beauty told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Thursday’s Access Hollywood Live of her post-baby shapeup. “I haven’t worked out. I guess it does [provide exercise] and it’s a lot of work.

“Tuesday the doctor said I can finally go and work out,” she added. “I’m excited to go back and be in the gym.”

In addition to becoming a mom, the 38-year-old actress recently got to work with real life heroes – filming “Act of Valor” alongside the military’s elite Navy SEALs – and Roselyn said the highly-trained soldiers definitely knew how to hit their marks.

“[The SEALs were] amazing — they were telling us how to do things!” she said. “Amazing. Just nice, nice people. Professional and unaffected by the whole business.”

Adding, “They just wanted to do a good job. It was great.”

Roselyn is one of only four professional actors in the movie – the rest of the roles are filled by SEALs and their real-life wives and children – something that caused the actress to pause before signing on for the upcoming film.

“My first instinct was like, ‘[That’s] weird. How are they going to act?’ But then I met the directors and I met the guys and I was fine,” she explained.

“At the beginning of the movie they tell you, [these are] real Navy SEALs. So, it’s endearing,” she added. “When you see them acting, you’re not expecting…you know that’s not what they do. And I think they did really good.”

“I’m obsessed with the Navy SEALs,” Billy confessed.

“You’re going to love this movie,” Roselyn said.

“Act of Valor” hits theaters on Friday.
