Explains

Strap in, folks, because this one's gonna really stretch out for a while -- we're looking at Harry Styles' love life!

We all know the former One Direction member knows how to sing about the ups and downs of relationships, and he's written plenty of hits about that exact subject over the course of his career.

The thing is, some of his relationships have been just as dramatic and dynamic as his songs -- let's check them out!

Styles was thrust into the public eye when One Direction was introduced through performances on "The X Factor" -- and he ended up briefly dating television presenter Caroline Flack, who had hosted its spinoff, "The Xtra Factor."

The pair received much attention for their 14-year age gap, and they ultimately went their separate ways after just a few months.

Styles was later linked to model Emma Ostilly, who appeared in the music video for One Direction's track "Gotta Be You," although their fling ultimately proved to be brief.

The performer subsequently started seeing Taylor Swift in 2012 ... and although they took several trips during that year's holiday season, they broke up in January 2013.

The "Watermelon Sugar" singer has spoken fondly of his ex in the years since their romance fizzled out, and he told Howard Stern the hitmaker was a "great songwriter."

Styles moved on with Kendall Jenner ... the couple was first spotted in each other's company while having dinner in West Hollywood in 2013.

Rumors about the pair -- who maintained what appeared to be an on-off fling -- swirled for several years, during which they were seen with each other on various outings.

Styles stayed busy in the interim, though, as he was linked to models Nadine Leopold and Georgia Fowler ... although neither fling lasted for very long.

The singer eventually reconciled with Jenner in 2016, and her sister Khloe told Entertainment Tonight that, while she didn't know if the two were "like boyfriend-girlfriend," the singer and the model "were in St. Barts together hanging out, so to me that's dating."

Although Styles and Jenner were later seen with each other during her 21st birthday party, their romance appeared to come to an end ... but they've stayed on friendly terms ever since then.

Following his split from Jenner, the singer started seeing model Camille Rowe, and the fashion industry figure was photographed attending several of the performer's concerts throughout 2018.

The two attempted to keep their relationship under the radar during its length, and following their split that year, Styles included a voicemail from his ex at the end of his song "Cherry."

Styles then began the arguably most high-profile of his romances when he started dating Olivia Wilde, whom he met when he was cast in her 2020 film "Don't Worry Darling."

The singer and the actress -- who was formerly engaged to Jason Sudeikis -- first set off the rumor mill after they attended a wedding together in 2021, and they started being spotted together during his concerts, as well as on various getaways.

The pair, who had a 10-year age gap between them, garnered much attention for their romance over the remainder of 2021, and a line from Styles' track "As It Was" -- "leave America, two kids follow her" -- appeared to be a clear reference to their romance.

However, cracks between the two began to show over the course of 2022, and when their split was announced that November, a source told People the pair had come to a "very amicable decision" about ending their romance.

Styles eventually moved on with Emily Ratajkowski, and the two were snapped locking lips during a trip to Tokyo that took place in March of 2023.

Although a source told People at the time that the supermodel was "interested in seeing him again," the pair's fling proved to be brief.

Styles was later linked to actress Taylor Russell, with whom he was first seen in June 2023, and he attended the opening night of a stage production of "The Effect."

John Mulaney and Olivia Munn shocked plenty of their respective fans when they began dating in 2021 ... and they turned more heads when they went on to tie the knot later down the road.

But the comedian and the actress have put plenty of work into their relationship in the years since they first started seeing each other -- and he supported her while she went through various treatments for breast cancer.

Here's a look at how the celebs navigated a particularly uncertain start to their relationship and ultimately started a family together.

Munn revealed in an interview on HuffPost Live, the first time she encountered Mulaney was at a 2013 wedding ... when John was engaged to Anna Marie Tendler.

The comedian and Tendler, an artist, had been seeing each other in 2010 ... they went on to say their vows four years later.

Munn -- who later dated Aaron Rodgers from 2014 until 2017 -- recalled she tried getting close to the actor during that 2013 wedding, and she said she became "so obsessed with hanging out with and talking with him."

She claimed she sent him an email following that wedding ... although he never responded to her message. The actress quipped she "might've got the wrong email -- probably. That's what I tell myself."

Mulaney and Munn reconnected in 2021 -- shortly after the end of his 60-day stint in a rehabilitation facility, which he entered months earlier, in December 2020.

The actress sent her well wishes to the comedian, sharing a post on her X account during his stay in rehab -- according to People, she wrote she was sending "SO MUCH love and support" to John.

The comedian separated from Tendler shortly after his departure from the facility ... she shared a message through a rep saying while she was "heartbroken" about the split, she wished the actor the best in his recovery.

It was revealed that Munn and Mulaney had been dating just days after his split from Tendler was publicized ... a source told People the pair was taking things "slowly."

Although the couple had initially set out to take their relationship delicately at first, they learned they would be having a baby not long after they started seeing each other.

Munn later told GQ they weren't really "dating" when she learned she was pregnant -- and that she expected Mulaney to co-parent their child with her.

But the pair grew closer over the course of her pregnancy ... and just two months before she gave birth, they decided to raise their child together.

The pair went on to start their family with the arrival of their son, Malcolm, in November of 2021.

Mulaney and Munn eventually made their red carpet debut in January 2024, following nearly two years of social media posts about their baby boy.

However, the actress revealed she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer in a post on her Instagram account in March that year.

She later credited the comedian with being her biggest supporter during her early treatments, and told People her breast cancer journey "would’ve felt like climbing an iceberg without him."

Mulaney and Munn eventually locked in their relationship when they tied the knot in a ceremony that took place in New York in July 2024.

The couple surprised many of their fans again when they revealed they had welcomed a daughter named Mei in a post on Munn's Instagram in September 2024.

The actress also wrote a lengthy message to let her fans know that, since she wasn't able to carry her second child, she worked with a surrogate. She added she felt "so many profound emotions" about being able to welcome a second child into her life.

Adele's weight loss surprised many of her fans when she debuted her slimmed-down figure by sharing a post on Instagram in 2020.

And the hitmaker showed her dedication to fitness over the past few years, as she's managed to keep off the pounds and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Here's a look at how the singer dropped -- and kept off -- the pounds while staying completely under the radar!

Adele set the record straight about her impressive weight loss during an interview with British Vogue, and cited concerns about her "anxiety" as the reason why she started working out.

She noted she became "addicted" to working out, during which her focus was on "becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone."

The performer then remarked that she'd remained quiet about her weight-loss journey, which happened over a period of two years.

When asked why she'd remained quiet about her physical changes, she said they were "for myself and not anyone else."'

Adele gave her fans a bit of insight into her fitness plan, and said she'd work out up to three times a day, with her routine consisting of a mixture of cardio and strength training.

The hitmaker confessed she was only able to do so with the help of personal trainers, and quipped that, due to the time commitments involved, she was "basically unemployed" for the duration of her weight-loss program.

The songwriter then said she was aware of the attention surrounding her body, and alleged several individuals had falsely claimed to have served as her trainers, which she described as "disgusting."

Adele added she truly didn't care about the public's view of her physique, as she'd gotten used to being on the receiving end of various comments for well over a decade.

The singer's also been open about how she wasn't always the most consistent during her weight-loss journey -- she's only human, after all!

Adele gave a bit more information about her ups and downs while speaking with Vogue, and stated that after having a night out with friends, she would "wake up like a tsunami was coming for me."

However, she also noted that, despite her occasional slip-ups, she remained committed to maintaining her mental and physical well-being.

It's pretty clear that Cher's boyfriend Alexander "AE" Edwards, showed her that she could still "Believe" in love -- and she's been loyal to the music executive for several years!

The thing is, the hitmaker's got quite a history with her former partners ... which includes two marriages and just as many children!

We're going to take a look back at the performer's love life over the past few decades, and check out what makes her relationship with her current boyfriend so special.

Lainey Wilson and her fiancé, Devlin "Duck" Hodges, have emerged as one of the country music world's newest power couples -- and for good reason.

While the singer and the former professional football player have walked some of the glitziest red carpets out there, they've also managed to keep the more intimate aspects of their romance hidden from the public.

Here's a look at how the musician and the athlete kept their relationship hidden for a few years ... and came out swinging when they were ready for their big reveal.

While singers and football players tend to meet at high-profile events these days, Wilson and Hodges met the old-fashioned way -- through mutual friends.

The musician spoke about the early days of her romance with Hodges during an interview with People and recalled they met at a bar that offered free drinks.

The performer recalled being impressed at her future fiancé's willingness to enjoy the little things in life, and she "was like, ‘This boy likes to ball on a budget too. This is gonna work out.’"

Wilson then spoke about how she was enticed by her partner's easygoing and likable attitude, which was a major green flag.

The singer said she didn't "have to convince anybody to like him. He’s a very lovable person."

Wilson's been open about Hodges' support for her career, and she told Billboard she saw her partner as "my cheerleader."

She also told the publication she had come to value her fiancé's input when she was coming up with ideas for tracks.

Wilson noted that, if she gave Hodges a demo tape and he kept "going back and listening to it over and over, there must be something about this."

The singer went on to express that she saw her partner as a solid example of her audience, as he has no stake in the music industry.

She said Hodges isn't "in the business, he don’t have anything to do with this, and it’s nice to be able to see what other people’s opinions are because that’s the listener right there."

Wilson revealed Hodges had finally popped the big question -- she said yes, by the way -- by shared a collection of photos on her Instagram account in February 2025.

The singer and the former professional football player were seen locking lips in one of the snaps, and she showed off her engagement ring in another of her pics.

Although she appeared to be particularly excited about her future nuptials, Wilson made it clear she wouldn't settle down anytime soon in an interview with People, and said she was balancing her time with Hodges with her touring schedule.

The singer also said she and Hodges were "figuring it out as we go, which is fun."

Miley Cyrus has been going strong with her boyfriend Maxx Morando for a few years.

The singer's made more than a few attempts at finding her special person ... one of which resulted in a marriage!

We're going to take a look at the exes that bought the hitmaker flowers -- although she's sung about how she can buy them herself -- and explore how she fell in love with a rock drummer.

Miley's dating history goes back to her Disney Channel days, as she met Nick Jonas -- of the Jonas Brothers, in case you didn't know -- way, way back in 2006.

While the pair didn't confirm their relationship to the public until long after it ended, the two were involved professionally ... as the JoBros opened for the singer during her "Best Of Both Worlds" tour, and appeared on an episode of "Hannah Montana" in 2007.

The pair ultimately went their separate ways. Cyrus recently opened up about her current feelings about the singer during an episode of the "Every Single Album" podcast, where she claimed that she was still "into" Jonas, albeit in a platonic way.

She subsequently moved on with actor Justin Gaston, and the pair garnered much attention for their age gap, as he was 20 and she was 16 when they started dating.

However, the pair did not remain together for long, and they called quits on their romance in 2009.

That same year, Cyrus met Liam Hemsworth while working on the 2010 film "The Last Song," in which they costarred.

The pair, whose romance was established on the movie's set, began seeing each other off and on for a total of three years before the actor popped the question ... and the singer accepted.

Cyrus and Hemsworth remained together for almost a year and a half before they unexpectedly called off their engagement in 2013, and split up more formally than in their past brief breakups.

The singer then embarked on a short-lived relationship with Patrick Schwarzenegger that ended in April 2015, and a source told People the future star of "The White Lotus" wanted to focus on his college career at the time.

Cyrus was later spotted making out with Victoria's Secret model Stella Maxwell ... although she denied that they had been in a relationship.

The singer later reunited with Hemsworth in 2016 -- and they got engaged for the second time.

A source spoke to People at the time and claimed the pair were "much more mature" and emotionally ready for the requirements of a relationship.

Cyrus and Hemsworth remained together for two years before they spontaneously tied the knot during a trip to Tennessee.

However, the pair shocked many of their fans when they announced their separation after just seven months of marriage ... and they finalized their divorce in January of 2020.

The singer gave her fans a bit of insight into her marriage during an episode of the "Joe Rogan Experience," when she decried "the villainizing and just all those stories" that were shared about her relationship with the actor.

Cyrus dusted herself off following the end of her marriage, and she was briefly linked to Kaitlynn Carter in 2019.

The pair amicably split up after just a few weeks of dating, and a source told People the singer wanted to "focus on her career" at the time.

Sources connected to the former couple told TMZ ... Miley felt it was moving too fast ... there was no cheating or fighting involved in MC's decision to break things off after a 2-month whirlwind romance where she and Kaitlynn were practically inseparable.

The performer later began seeing her longtime friend Cody Simpson, and the pair's romance commenced in August 2019.

However, we revealed the hitmaker and the competitive swimmer ultimately broke up after 10 months of dating ... Cyrus claimed she wanted to remain friends with the athlete after their split.

Cyrus was later set up on a date with Morando in 2021 ... and while he knew who he would be meeting, the singer's friends didn't tell her anything about the drummer in the band Liily.

The pair hit it off and remained together following their date, and a source subsequently spoke to People and said the singer saw her boyfriend's aversion to the celebrity lifestyle as a major green flag.

The singer told Harper's Bazaar she was "very similar" to Morando, and said neither of them "take life too seriously."

Oh yeah, and in case you missed anything, we've got a video timeline of Cyrus' dating history to fill in the cracks!

Jennifer Aniston's become one of the most recognizable people in Hollywood ... and she's dated some familiar faces, too!

The "Friends" star's been linked to several guys over the course of her career -- and she even married two of them!

We're going to check out who the actress has been involved with over the past few decades ... and see how she feels about her past boyfriends and husbands.

One of Aniston's earliest roles was as Jeannie Bueller on the short-lived TV series "Ferris Bueller," and she briefly dated her costar -- and on-screen brother -- Charlie Schlatter, although their romance proved to be short-lived.

She then moved on with actor Daniel McDonald, and they remained together from 1990 until 1995, when they went their separate ways.

The actress remained fond of the performer -- he passed away in 2007 -- after the end of their relationship, and she later told the New York Times that he was her "first love" and that McDonald "would have been the one."

Following a brief fling with Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, Aniston began seeing Tate Donovan, who later starred as one of her love interests on "Friends."

The pair remained together for two years -- although they only began costarring after their real-life breakup ... which was later echoed on screen when their characters went their split up.

Aniston subsequently started one of the most high-profile relationships in Hollywood history when she began dating Brad Pitt in 1998 -- although they had met through their managers four years earlier.

The pair got engaged in 1999, and they went on to tie the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony that took place in Malibu the following year, which included a performance by Melissa Etheridge and a fireworks show.

Aniston appeared to hint she was ready to start a family with Pitt in a 2005 interview with The Guardian, when she stated she was "looking forward to slowing down."

However, the pair separated after rumors began to swirl about the actor getting close to his "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" costar Angelina Jolie -- whom he later famously wed and divorced -- and Jen and Brad formally ended their marriage in March 2005.

The performers have remained on good terms ever since their split -- Pitt even attended his ex-wife's 50th birthday party in 2019, according to People.

Aniston picked herself up and moved on following her divorce from Pitt, and she was linked to Vince Vaughn after they costarred in the 2006 film "The Break-Up."

The pair actually began their romance in 2005, although it was short-lived -- they broke up by December the following year.

Aniston subsequently started dating John Mayer, to whom she was first linked in 2008, and they maintained an on-again-off-again relationship for a year.

After the two broke up for the final time in 2009, the musician told Rolling Stone he had "never really gotten over" the split, and described the period as "one of the worst times of my life."

Aniston's second husband was Justin Theroux, whom she met when she visited the set of the action-comedy flick "Tropic Thunder" in 2007.

The pair connected while costarring in the 2012 film "Wanderlust," and they subsequently embarked on a whirlwind romance that saw them getting engaged that same year.

The performers tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony at their home in Bel Air, California, in August of 2015.

Aniston and Theroux remained together for a total of three years before they decided to end their relationship in 2018 ... although they have remained on friendly terms ever since their split.

Kelly Osbourne's had to deal with plenty of loss -- about 85 pounds of body weight, that is!

The reality television star has managed to completely change her physique, and she's been open about the ups and downs in size she's experienced in the past.

We're going to look into what she's gone through to slim down ... and how a surgical procedure completely changed her life.

Osbourne's weight-loss journey kicked off in the late 2010s when she underwent gastric sleeve surgery, in which a portion of her stomach was removed from her body.

She remained enthusiastic about the results of the procedure years after it was completed, and described the surgery as "the best thing I have ever done" during an appearance on the Hollywood Raw podcast.

Osbourne pointed out, however, that going through with the procedure meant she had to change her mindset about health, and she recalled she went through "a year of stand-alone therapy to prepare myself for the surgery."

She went on to say she had to become more disciplined about both fitness and monitoring her food intake in the years since her surgery.

However, she's also expressed she truly doesn't care about outside opinions with regard to her procedure ... and told the podcast's host she doesn't "give a f*** what anyone has to say."

Osbourne's also been open about how her health was affected by her pregnancy -- she gave birth to her son Sidney in November 2022.

The reality television star developed gestational diabetes while preparing for the birth of her child -- who she shares with Slipknot member Sid Wilson -- and recalled she had to closely monitor her food intake in the months prior to her baby's arrival.

Osbourne told People she "didn't get to have the pregnancy where you eat whatever you want. It sucked. I was hungry for nine months."

After she gave birth to her son, however, she began to push the limits of how much weight she could lose to unhealthy levels.

Osbourne opened up about her postpartum period in an appearance on the Scheananigans With Scheana Shay podcast, and admitted she went "too far" with her weight loss.

While many of her fans surmised she had lost her baby weight through the use of Ozempic, the reality television mainstay flat-out denied the claims during an interview with Extra.

Osbourne said she'd put off the pounds the old-fashioned way ... cutting out sugar and carbohydrates, which caused her to shrink "rapidly."

The thing is, she doesn't judge anyone who turns to the celebrity-favorite weight-loss medication -- including her mother Sharon -- and sees the jab as an effective and modern method of slimming down in size.

Osbourne voiced her approval of Ozempic while speaking to E! News, and said she was a fan of losing weight "through something that's isn't as boring as working out."

Bill Belichick made a reputation for himself coaching various professional and college football teams ... and his star's only shined brighter ever since the beginning of his relationship with Jordon Hudson.

The sports figure and the former beauty queen have made plenty of headlines with their high-profile relationship -- and their 48-year age gap!

We're going to check out what brought the happy couple together ... and who the former New England Patriots coach has been with in the past.

Although his relationship with Hudson's been relatively brief, Belichick's proved that he can stick with someone for the long run, as he was formerly married to Debby Clarke.

The football coach and his longtime spouse tied the knot in 1977, and they started a family with the birth of their daughter Amanda in 1984.

Belichick and Clarke went on to welcome a pair of sons, Stephen and Brian, both of whom worked with their father during his time with the Patriots.

However, the coach and his spouse ultimately went their separate ways after just under three decades of marriage ... and they finalized their divorce in 2006.

Belichick moved on from his divorce by starting a relationship with TV host Linda Holliday, whom he first began seeing in 2007.

The pair went on to collaborate on various philanthropic projects, and she served as the director of the Bill Belichick Foundation, which was founded in 2013.

While the football coach and the media figure remained together for a total of 16 years, the news of their breakup became public in September 2023.

A source spoke to People at the time and claimed that, while Holliday was dismayed about the end of her romance with Belichick, she was "well taken care of" following the split.

Belichick and Hudson initially met in February of 2021 -- and we shared a selfie that the beauty queen took at the time a few years later!

The pair's first encounter took place when they were seated next to each other on a flight from the Boston area down to Florida, and the coach asked about her college coursework.

Belichick autographed one of Hudson's books following their initial conversation, and they remained in contact over the following years.

The two began going on under-the-radar dates in 2023, but their cover was blown when they were spotted in each other's company during a trip to New Orleans' French Quarter.

Although rumors swirled about the pair in subsequent months, nothing concrete was confirmed about a potential relationship -- until we broke the story about their official status in June of 2024.

Belichick and Hudson went on to make their red carpet debut at The Museum Gala, and Hudson shared a post about the event on her Instagram account, where she described her boyfriend as one of her "favourite things."

The former cheerleader went on to share her take on the state of her relationship by posting several photos on her Instagram Story on New Year's Eve in 2024, and wrote via People that she "can't wait to take punches" for her romance.

She also hit out at the "keyboard warriors" who doubted the state of her relationship, writing that their "illusion of righteousness only fuels my authenticity."

Hudson then posted a photo of Belichick holding a phone while listening to Taylor Swift's song "New Year's Day," in which the line "Hold onto the memories" was shown.

While the pair appeared to be warming up to having their romance play out in the public eye, they seemed to crack under the pressure during Belichick's interview on CBS News' "Sunday Morning," which aired in April 2025.

The sports figure was accompanied by his girlfriend during the taping of the interview, which was conducted by journalist Tony Dokoupil, and she awkwardly shut the reporter down when he inquired about the state of their relationship ... which was all caught on camera.

The coach subsequently issued a statement about the interview, and he said via People that he had agreed to keep the conversation focused on his book "The Art Of Winning: Lessons From A Life In Football."

Belichick then claimed that, when Dokoupil veered off and began asking about his relationship, Hudson stepped in to "help refocus the discussion," and he said the segment was ultimately comprised of "selectively edited clips and stills."

However, CBS News issued a statement of its own, and asserted there weren't any "preconditions or limitations to this conversation" when Belichick agreed to the interview.

The coach and his partner have since fielded engagement rumors, and a report from the New York Times claimed Hudson has spoken openly about her future with the coach to at least one individual.

We shared a photo of Hudson wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring in May this year.

The former cheerleader was spotted with the accessory while preparing to board a flight from N.C.'s Raleigh-Durham Airport back to Boston.

Tom Brady might be a football star, but he's definitely a home run when it comes to the ladies!

The former New England Patriots quarterback played the field over the course of his love life, which has seen him evolve from one of the sports world's most eligible bachelors to a devoted father.

We're going to check out who the athlete's been with -- and see how a flip-flop in his career prefaced a major breakup.

When "Back to the Future" premiered in 1985, it shot Michael J. Fox to stardom for his much-lauded portrayal of time-displaced teenager Marty McFly.

However, fans of the sci-fi-comedy franchise later learned that the role was almost filled by a different actor, Eric Stoltz, who actually spent a considerable amount of time on set portraying the character.

We're going to take a look back at how the film's cast was almost led by a different star -- and how its crew navigated the aftermath of the shakeup while working on the hit flick.

Whoopi Goldberg's weight loss has taken plenty of time -- but it's all been worth it, as she's come down from a peak weight of 300 pounds!

The thing is, the talk show host had a bit of help along the way ... from the celebrity-favorite weight-loss medication Mounjaro, that is.

We're going to learn just why the actress chose to take the jab during her weight-loss journey and see how her life has changed ever since she started taking the medication.

Goldberg revealed she first needed to make a change in her life after hearing comments about her body from a woman who had seen her portrayal of Alma Carthan in the 2022 drama film "Till."

The performer opened up about the incident while appearing on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," and recalled the individual said she "thought I was wearing a fat suit" in the film.

The actress said the statement made her "indignant" ... although she later realized the comment made her pay closer attention to her health.

Goldberg went on to reveal she clocked in at 300 pounds at the time of the incident, after which she decided to start making changes in her lifestyle.

Goldberg subsequently started using Mounjaro in order to drop the weight ... and she went on to speak about her use of the medication during an episode of "The View."

The performer told E! News she wanted to help destigmatize the use of weight-loss drugs, and suggested "maybe the key is to stop judging everybody."

She acknowledged while she wanted her fans to pay closer attention to their bodies as they grow older, maintaining a healthy figure later in life can be difficult.

Goldberg told her fans if they were to hit a point where their concern about their health fell "to the ground," they should "pick it up, put it over the back and keep it moving."

Although the talk show host made a point of speaking about her Mounjaro use, she hasn't actually promoted any weight-loss drugs -- at least, not with her permission.

On another episode of "The View," Goldberg claimed her image had been fed into an A.I. program and repurposed to promote an unspecified medication.

The actress told The Hollywood Reporter she was greatly troubled by the unauthorized use of her image to promote weight-loss drugs, which she described as "a lot of BS."

Billy Gardell's weight loss has seen the formerly 370-pound-plus star slim down to a much more manageable number in the low 200s.

And the "Mike & Molly" star's also been open about how undergoing bariatric surgery has made all the difference in his fitness journey.

Here's how going under the knife completely changed the actor's life -- and how he's been able to keep off the pounds in the years after his procedure.

Although his health improved in the long run, Gardell wasn't always so gung-ho about undergoing a weight-loss procedure, which he revealed in an interview with People.

The performer stated that, while he put off any drastic weight-loss measures for an extended period of time, he reached a point "where it hurt to exercise."

The delay wasn't for lack of trying, either, as Gardell claimed he "tried everything" to lose weight before falling into a "yo-yo" cycle that saw him gaining and losing weight.

He then recalled reaching a point where he realized that "drastic" action was necessary to address his health concerns, although he admitted that he "chickened out" of bariatric surgery on several occasions.

Gardell went on to state he eventually developed type 2 diabetes and was on medication for the disease for a year and a half, which greatly displeased him.

The "Bob Hearts Abishola" star then expressed that the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was what motivated him to get his weight under control, as his size made him more susceptible to the effects of coronavirus.

Gardell added that he didn't want to risk the possibility of being removed from the lives of his family, saying "the idea of not being here for my wife or my kid motivated my change."

The performer noted he had to become "humble enough to ask for help" in order to actually start his plans for surgery.

He then spoke about consulting with a doctor, who he said "changed and saved my life."

Gardell said while he was grateful for the experience, he did not want his fans to follow his exact path to a healthy lifestyle, and noted the surgery was the "right decision" for himself.

The actor has since opened up about the effects his procedure had on his immediate family -- some of whom didn't even recognize him at first!

Gardell made the admission during a sit-down with Entertainment Tonight and fondly recalled when he "first lost the weight, my wife thought a stranger was in the house."

He also spoke about meeting individuals in similar health-related situations, and said he advised them that following a weight-loss procedure, they needed to emphasize healthy habits in order to keep the pounds off.

The performer noted if "you're not willing to commit to the stuff on the other side, it's just gonna happen again."

Kathy Bates has become an example of self-determination paying off -- as she was able to drop an impressive 100 pounds over the past few years.

However, a lot of hard work went into her physical transformation, which was spurred by a harrowing health scare.

We're going to look into the "Misery" star's impressive weight loss and see why her newfound interest in wellness has greatly improved her quality of life.

Bates was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2017, and she told People the disease had been prevalent within her family.

The performer told the publication several of her family members had been dealing with various complications from the condition, and her own diagnosis "scared me straight."

She stated that being told she was going to be living with the disease inspired her to start making changes in her diet and wellness routine.

Bates recalled having to completely switch up her diet, and admitted she "used to eat terribly," and at odd hours.

She remarked her niece had advised her she'd experience "an involuntary sigh" after becoming full, and she would stop eating after noticing the reflex.

Bates went on to tell the outlet that in addition to making changes with her eating habits, she started prioritizing her own fitness and became more serious about working out.

But she maintained she was committed to remaining independent while working out, and remarked she didn't want "anybody over my shoulder."

While Bates claimed that 80 out of the 100 pounds she lost were due to changes in her lifestyle, she admitted she shed the final 20 through the use of Ozempic.

The performer stressed that, although she was aware of claims her weight loss was achieved solely through her use of the celebrity-favorite medication, she wanted her fans to know she truly is dedicated to her health.

Bates remarked that the physical aspect of her lifestyle change "was hard work for me, especially during the pandemic."

The actress then expressed her life had greatly improved following her weight loss, as she became "capable" of working long days on set.

Bates added she'd become able to "do so many things that I couldn’t before" while working on the set of "Matlock," in which she stars.

Another benefit of her weight loss is the effects on the symptoms of her lymphedema, which causes swelling in various parts of her body.

The actress said she felt "such a thrill to be able to put my arm into a jacket and it fits."

Meghan Trainor started off her career by being outwardly proud of her frame, which brought her plenty of attention from both critics and fans.

But she's since shed much of her weight, and her newly svelte physique has allowed her to completely rework her image.

Here's a look at how the "All About That Bass" singer pushed off the pounds -- with a little extra help from Mounjaro.

Trainor's weight-loss journey started after she welcomed her first son, Riley, in 2021.

The performer told People that after she became a mother, she entered a "really dark place," and she claimed she was the "heaviest I'd ever been."

However, Trainor recalled she recognized the need to maintain her mental well-being, and credited her first son with motivating her to make positive changes in her life.

She stated that in an effort to work her way out of the hole, she began working out regularly and started "seeing the pounds come off one week at a time."

The singer briefly paused her weight-loss journey during her second pregnancy, and after welcoming her second son, Barry, in January of 2023, she resumed her workouts.

Trainor has since credited her dedication to fitness as one of the chief reasons for her major drop in size.

The hitmaker spoke about her routines in the gym in an interview with Women's Health, claiming she'd "lost so much weight that my booty is looking different."

She also gave the publication a look into her regular movements, and remarked that while she had become fond of strength-training, excessive running "made me swollen."

Trainor said she'd completely changed up her diet to focus on protein-heavy items, which helped her recover quicker in the gym.

The performer quipped that she -- as well as her husband Daryl Sabara -- were "always looking" for food-prep companies with high-protein options.

Trainor has also admitted she's used weight-loss medication -- specifically Mounjaro -- to aid in her weight-loss process.

The "Made You Look" singer gave her fans a bit of insight into her history with the medication during an episode of her "Workin' On It" podcast, and she claimed Mounjaro came with "less side effects" than other popular weight-loss drugs.

She also claimed she'd done plenty of research into the product prior to actually taking the jabs.

Trainor then remarked her husband was using the medication as well, and quipped they "do everything together."

The performer subsequently requested her former fans who had been put off by her weight loss to either "leave me alone or stop talking about my body."

Trainor has also augmented her body with various cosmetic treatments and procedures, in addition to the weight drop.

The singer has spoken openly about undergoing breast-augmentation surgery, which took place in early 2025, according to People.

Trainor also told the outlet that she'd "never been more comfortable in my body" following the enhancements.

However, the songwriter's also been open about the procedures that didn't work out so well ... and admitted on an episode of Workin' On It that her extensive Botox use hindered her ability to smile.

Scott Disick gave much of his fan base a fright when he got into a serious car accident in 2022.

And although many of the reality television mainstay's fans feared for his well-being in the aftermath of the harrowing wreck, he used his recovery period as an opportunity to place more of an emphasis on his physical well-being.

We're going to take a look at the incident that shook the entrepreneur to his core -- and inspired him to address his weight issues by using medication.

Disick's journey toward a healthier lifestyle kicked off in August of 2022, when he was in a single-car accident in Calabasas, California.

The reality television figure opened up about the incident during a 2023 episode of "The Kardashians," and stated via Us Weekly that he was on his way to pick up his son Mason, who he was supposed to take to a movie.

According to Disick, he was driving his Lamborghini SUV down a bumpy road when he briefly lost control of the vehicle and hit a pillar.

He recalled he was left "strapped in and hanging" in his car after the vehicle made a "somersault" from the collision.

While Disick's injuries were determined to have been non-life-threatening, he said his car was totaled.

The "Flip It Like Disick" star went on to reveal he'd begun exercising less following the accident in a subsequent episode of "The Kardashians," as he had started experiencing back pain after the crash, per E! News.

The reality television figure stated his entire life had been changed by the wreck, and expressed he wasn't able to run properly due to the pain.

Disick admitted that after becoming more sedentary, he had picked up a habit of "pounding a whole box" of Hawaiian rolls on a nightly basis.

He also claimed he'd been drinking up to 20 cans of ginger ale per day, as he considered the beverage to be "soothing."

When asked about his habits by Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner, he "didn't realize what I was doing" to his body in the aftermath of the wreck.

Disick eventually improved his eating habits, as seen in the Season 5 premiere of "The Kardashians," during which Kris and Khloe visited his home and peeked inside his fridge, which had been stocked with healthy items.

However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed the entrepreneur had several boxes of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro -- the effects of which are similar to Ozempic -- stored in his refrigerator.

While Disick didn't address the accidental reveal at first, he later spoke about the slip-up in a subsequent episode of the reality television series, and stated via Page Six that it was "tough" for him to carry around so much weight.

The entrepreneur went on to express he was fine with the accidental reveal, and noted that he wasn't "embarrassed" by the revelation.
