Brooke Burke, 51, poses in bikini, shares message of empowerment: 'Do you believe that self-confidence is ageless? I do'

Brooke Burke is sharing her thoughts on bikinis.

The Dancing With the Stars alum, 51, took to Instagram on Thursday to share photos of herself on the beach, where she sported a yellow string bikini. In her caption, she wrote, “When asked my opinion on ‘women my age and #bikinis’.... I'm not quite sure I understand the question. Is your age a limitation, or an opportunity to go deeper In exploring your self-confidence? Personally string bikinis are my fav at every stage! Dress for yourself not your age. Does age affect freedom? Does age effect sex appeal? Do you believe that self-confidence is ageless? I do. Let's talk.”

Her followers loved the message. One commented, “Self confidence is everything. We can wear whatever we want, whenever we want to,” to which Burke responded, “Yaaasss. Aren't we so lucky. Not every woman has that choice.”

The fitness personality, who has her own wellness app called Brooke Burke Body, previously spoke to Yahoo Life about the supposed end of one’s bikini years.

"You should have a bikini cutoff age when you stop feeling good in your bikini," Burke noted. "And I don't want to say 'looking good.' And I don't want to say when somebody else thinks you stopped looking good. All shapes and sizes are hot and in right now, all sizes are relevant and trending right now."

Burke also said that she now has a philosophy that’s more about feeling good than looking good.

"It's about understanding your lifestyle ... and setting attainable goals and designing a lifestyle, not a quick fix," she explained. "Not this, 'I'm going to pop this pill or starve myself or never eat carbs again and shock my body. And then I'm going to put it all back on in three weeks.' Find something you enjoy. Not everybody loves fitness. I get that, so make it fun. Get an accountability buddy, do it with a partner, do it with your family."

In April of 2021, the mom of four also spoke to Yahoo Life about why it’s important for her to have body confidence as she gets older — especially so that she can be a role model for that for younger people.

“I'm going to be 50 this year, yet it's just a number and I feel happier, and healthier at this stage in this decade of my life,” she said at the time. “So, I think that comes from a much deeper place. It's not just about body sculpting and getting that bikini body and having a bubble butt, that's the easy part of my philosophy. It's how we feel inside and body confidence is really important, especially for young women.”
