Ed Sheeran Says He’s in His Best Shape and Sets First-Ever Six-Pack Goal

The singer told Andy Cohen he launched a gym-focused push this year to drop about a stone.

Overview

  • He said during SiriusXM’s Small Stage Series on Sept. 24 that after gaining weight last year he is “hitting the gym heavy” to lose roughly 14 pounds.
  • He noted he has never had a six-pack and set himself the challenge of seeing if he can achieve one.
  • He acknowledged slipping on his regimen by having beers but said the effort is going “all right” and he feels in the best shape of his life.
  • He previously quit smoking in 2019, credited that change with about 50 pounds lost, and says he prefers outdoor running to gym workouts.
  • He has cited marriage and fatherhood as motivations to reduce heavy drinking and pursue a healthier balance between work and home life.
