Ed Sheeran Sets Six-Pack Goal, Says He’s in His Best Shape After Renewed Fitness Push

He told Andy Cohen he increased training this year after last year's weight gain.

Overview

  • In a SiriusXM Small Stage/Radio Andy conversation on Sept. 24 in New York, Sheeran said he feels “in the best shape of my life.”
  • He explained he “put on a load of weight last year” and began a heavier gym routine in 2025 to try to lose a stone, roughly 14 pounds.
  • Sheeran said he has “never actually ever had a six pack” and set a personal challenge to see if he can achieve one.
  • He acknowledged recurring slip-ups, noting nights out and “a couple of beers” can slow progress, though he says the plan is going “all right.”
  • He previously lost about 50 pounds after quitting smoking and taking up running, and has discussed binge-eating tendencies and industry comparisons shaping his body image.
