Country singer Jewel Kilcher, 51, has captivated fans with stunning bikini photos shared during her recent vacation in Barbuda. The singer took to Instagram to showcase her time on the Caribbean island, posting images that highlight both her physique and the beautiful scenery. Jewel captioned the post, “#Barbuda for a few days of sun before more winter snow,” inviting her followers into her sun-soaked escape.
The first image features Jewel smiling brightly against a backdrop of crashing waves, dressed in a striking animal-print bikini. Additional photos include a mirror selfie taken in her hotel room, along with shots of the delectable food she enjoyed and the picturesque ocean views surrounding her.
Fans Praise Jewel’s Timeless Beauty
Fans responded enthusiastically to the posts, flooding the comments with compliments about her appearance. One follower remarked, “Fine 🍷 wine. 🔥🔥 You look amazing!” Another added, “Are you sure you didn’t drink a youth serum… you just keep looking younger,” while a third quipped, “Geeez miss Benjamin Button over here just looking younger and younger with the years lol.” Many expressed their happiness for her, particularly in light of her past challenges, with one comment stating, “You look happy and knowing your past, that’s most important.”
Earlier this year, Jewel faced backlash after performing at the MAHA Inaugural Ball alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. During her surprise performance, she delivered an acoustic rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” which emotionally moved Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, who was seen wiping away tears. Following the event, some fans expressed disappointment on social media, with one stating, “You are a huge disappointment. I was a fan for decades but now will never listen to your music again or pay any money to see you perform live.”
Advocacy and Mental Health Initiatives
In response to the criticism, Jewel shared her perspective in an Instagram video, emphasizing her commitment to mental health advocacy. “As many of you know, I am a mental health advocate. If there’s anything that I’ve learned in the past 20 years, it’s that mental health affects everybody’s lives across party lines,” she explained. Jewel has been actively involved in various nonprofit organizations focused on addressing the mental health crisis in the United States, including the Inspiring Children Foundation and Innerworld, both of which she co-founded.
Jewel continued, “If I wait to try until I agree 100% with the people that might be willing to help me, I’d never get off the bench. I don’t think that’s how activism works.” She highlighted the urgency of participation in advocacy work, stating, “It’s actually because things are so imperfect that we have to find ways to engage and to participate. And we have to act now. We cannot wait another four years.”
As Jewel enjoys her time in the Caribbean, her vacation serves as a reminder of her resilience, beauty, and ongoing commitment to making a difference in the world.
