Genevieve Padalecki is opening up about why she originally wanted breast implants and later decided to remove them.
The 42-year-old Supernatural actress explained that she began to miss what she used to look like.
“On one hand, you don’t care what anyone thinks, but you’re like, ‘I miss what I used to look like a bit.’ I wanted to just build upon my appearance and just feel good, and I got consults to get breast implants,” Genevieve said.

“I want to look good for me. I want to experience what that feels like and what that looks like,” she said of her decision on the Bathroom Chronicles podcast.
Genevieve is married to Supernatural actor Jared Padalecki. The pair met on the set of the series in 2008 and now have three children: Thomas, Shepherd and Odette.
“I got breast implants done a year and a half ago and I felt great,” Genevieve said. “I felt very sexy. They were the exact same size as my breasts used to be before breastfeeding, so it didn’t feel that different.”
But she noticed a difference in her body when she began to run. “I noticed that when I would get on the treadmill or I’d go outside and I would jog, I couldn’t do it for more than two or three miles before my body would just be like, ‘No, we’re done.’ That was super weird to me,” Genevieve realized months after the surgery. “But I was also like well, ‘Maybe I’m tired today. I have three kids, my husband works like crazy hours.’ I’m not even thinking it correlates.”
“I started getting some weird pains in my joints and I would wake up with joint pain where I would like flex my fingers and they would hurt,” she noticed.
“I could power through these symptoms, but it was enough where when I went to my checkup with my doctor,” she said. Her doctor noted her lymph nodes were very inflamed. “I didn’t feel sick, but my body was just starting to feel really inflamed and it just didn’t feel right,” which is why she ultimately decided to remove her breast implants.
“I have zero joint pain, and my brain fog at a minimum. So, is it related? I feel very different. I feel like I’m in my body. My body is not inflamed. I feel normal. I feel like I can move the way I used to be able to move,” Genevieve said of the difference. “So for me, it was the right decision.”
Last year, Jared Padalecki posted a tribute in honor of Father’s Day.
