Parker McKenna Posey: From Child Star to Full Grown Fitness Lover

You may remember Parker McKenna Posey as the cute and loveable little Kady Kyle on My Wife and Kids with Damon Wayans and Tisha Campbell. Well, today she’s one busy 27-year-old!

Besides being an Instagram influencer, she’s a full-time mom, self-proclaimed fitness lover, and stars on the BET hit show Games People Play, and has a recurring role on A House Divided on the AllBlk channel on Amazon.

During an interview with BET, Posey shared how her professional career started to change for the worse as she got older. And it wasn’t like she started to look bad, actually the opposite–she became very curvy like her mom.

I realized, ‘Ok, I’m probably going to be a little bit curvier.’ And back then I was like, ‘I don’t like it.’ It bothered me, mainly because it affected my work and auditioning and stuff like that. I stood out more so than I needed to.”

“I didn’t even know if I wanted to act anymore, what I really wanted to do. I moved away and was just in a crazy situation, so it’s time to start getting things together. I want to feel better, I want to look my best. Cause like I said, I was super skinny and I was feeling frumpy for once in my life and just not feeling myself.”

So she sought out the expertise of a personal trainer and linked up with Quinton Horton.
