Ed Sheeran Details 14‑Kilogram Transformation in Men’s Health Cover Reveal

He credits fatherhood for the shift, emphasizing balance over austerity.

Overview

  • The singer says he lost about 14 kilograms over five years and appears shirtless with a noticeably more muscular build on the latest Men’s Health UK cover.
  • He describes becoming a parent as the turning point, aiming to feel better, stay present at night, and avoid back trouble when lifting his children.
  • His routine now combines Reformer-Pilates, running and weight training, with the Pilates work used to stay active during demanding tour periods.
  • He began steady fitness habits during the pandemic, including his first 10K run, and says seeing Stormzy’s pre-show push-ups underscored the value of strength work.
  • Since early 2025 he has trained with coach Matt Kendrick on tour to tailor workouts and nutrition, while moderating alcohol rather than cutting it out and linking wellness to improved mental health.
