Ed Sheeran Breaks Down His Weight Loss on Men’s Health Cover

Ed Sheeran is showing a different side of himself on the cover of Men’s Health, and yes, fans are definitely talking.

The Pop hitmaker, who is fresh off another massive run of stadium shows, is pulling back the curtain on his noticeable weight loss, his evolving relationship with fitness, and why this chapter of his life looks very different from his hard-charging twenties.

Full story below…

In the candid interview, Sheeran admits that revisiting footage from his Wembley shows a decade ago was a reality check for him. Back then, his post-show routine often involved late nights, tequila shots, and cigarettes, followed by rolling straight into another performance the next day. These days, however, the focus is firmly on recovery, routine, and protecting his voice while juggling touring and fatherhood.

And for anyone wondering, he hasn’t gone fully clean. Wine, good food, and the occasional blowout are still very much part of the picture, just not on a nightly basis.

On How He Lost Weight

“I went down in my basement and answered emails for two hours and just plodded. I wasn’t killing myself, I was keeping active.”

On The Hardships Of Changing His Lifestyle

“You want to go for a drink or hang with your mates, but if you don’t look after yourself, you’re wrecked the next day.”

On Balance

“I still drink. I love red wine and a nice meal, but it’s not every day. It’s about moderation.

Reformer Pilates works with touring. It keeps me moving without destroying me before a show.
