Ed Sheeran Details How Becoming a Dad Inspired His 30-Pound Weight Loss Transformation

Ed Sheeran credits fatherhood and rapper Stormzy's intense training routine for inspiring his improved fitness, wellness, and mental health after an unhealthy decade.

  • Ed Sheeran, appearing on the Jan/Feb cover, said he became a dad, prompting lifestyle changes, in the December 23 issue of Men’s Health UK.
  • Sheeran said he lived a pretty unhealthy life between ages 20 and 30, linking wellness directly to mental health and feeling awful during that period.
  • Inspired by Stormzy's routine, Sheeran embraced reformer pilates, posted the workout on TikTok earlier this year, and lost approximately 30 pounds through weights, reformer pilates and running.
  • His leaner physique appears on Men's Health cover, and Sheeran said improved fitness helps him perform onstage and avoid back injuries when lifting his children.
  • With 14 UK number one singles and nine UK number one albums, Ed Sheeran says fitness supports career longevity and staying close to fans, with album Play released in September this year.
