Meghan Trainor and her husband Daryl Sabara show off their slimmed-down frames in New York after couple both admitted to taking Mounjaro
The power couple confidently displayed their new looks as they stepped out arm in arm on set of The Beauty.
Meghan, 31, and Daryl, 32, who share sons Riley, four, and Barry, 21 months, recently shared they are taking the weight loss drug together.
The songstress has lost an impressive amount of weight through the use of Mounjaro, the type 2 diabetes medicine.
Spy Kids actor Daryl jumped on the trend shortly after Meghan opened up about her weight loss journey.
Speaking on their Workin' On It podcast on April 10, the couple opened up about their Mounjaro use.
'We did 75 Hard after our son Riley was born and, man, did we crush,' Daryl said.
'Then, we heard more and more of our friends — and even our doctors — were on Mounjaro and Ozempic,' Meghan added.
Meghan said she decided to take Mounjaro because 'it had less side effects' than other weight-loss drugs.
'I was like, "I don't want any of that,"' and '"I know how to do it on my own,"' Meghan explained.
'I could do that, but when I asked my doctor, I was like, "Tell me everything." I did the research, and I felt safe.'
'So, I did it, too,' Daryl said before Meghan quickly quipped, 'Daryl and I both do everything together.'
'I also gained some [sympathy] pregnancy weight,' said Daryl.
'We've been on this journey for a while and we learned how there are right ways to do it,' he added.
Meghan went on to note that she and Daryl are only taking the lowest dose' possible of Mounjaro while also working out more and eating balanced, healthy meals.
'We were like, "We have to make sure we don't lose muscle that we worked so hard gaining all those years,"' Meghan explained.
'We stay in the gym, we work out, we eat right, and we just noticed that we were less hungry.'
'You have to put in the work as well' the Mother singer explained, saying that she and her husband made sure to maintain healthy lifestyle habits in addition to taking the weight-loss drug.
'We've been on this journey for a while and we learned how there are right ways to do it and there are improper ways to do it,' Daryl added.
The couple discovered a useful way to control their portion size — they eat off small plates.
'I learned all these little tricks that changed my life,' Meghan shared. 'I literally bought smaller plates 'cause I'm like, "No, you can't put too much rice on there."
She continued: 'I'm obsessed now with the science of when I work out and build muscle, you have to eat protein or else it's not going to do anything."
The All About That Bass hitmaker said she has 'no shame' about using the drug to lose weight.
Over the years, she has read countless comments dissecting her body, including in March after she was honored at the Billboard Women in Music event.
'Everyone just wants to talk about my body and we're not here about my body. I'm here about my music,' she said.
'I'm reading these comments and I go, "Oh my God, these are all bad." There was not one nice comment. Like, the meanest things I've ever been told. I look up and I just started sobbing.'
Meghan said her two of her close friends consoled her and told her she's beautiful, reminding her that people on social media aren't important.
'I just felt like a 13-year-old girl being bullied out loud in front of my whole class again,' she continued.
'Later I was so frustrated. Everyone's calling me "Ozempi Ozempi" so I'm just going to explain my journey with my health in an Instagram post and I'm never going to talk to them about it ever again on my social media.'
'Everyone, leave me alone or stop talking about my body,' she said.
'I'm really proud of myself for learning,' Meghan shared. 'It was really hard to do and I'm going to keep getting better and keep getting stronger, achieve things I never thought I could achieve and no one can stop me — not even mean comments.'

Inside the BBC's Glastonbury debacle
Photo byThere are mumblings at the BBC about whether the director-general, Tim Davie, will survive the Glastonbury debacle. More than 400 BBC staff were reportedly attending – including Davie himself – yet none called for the livestream to be stopped when the rap duo Bob Vylan led the chant 'death, death to the IDF'. Insiders say staff 'panicked' when they heard the Vylan chant, having been told repeatedly that it was not the BBC's job to censor content. (Kneecap's set was not broadcast live but instead uploaded later to iPlayer.) Davie, who wasn't at Bob Vylan's set, ordered the performance should not be available on iPlayer – but it remained on the streaming platform for five hours. The mess follows BBC failings over Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone and the broadcaster's refusal to screen another film about medics in Gaza (which eventually aired instead on Channel 4). The Culture Secretary, Lisa Nandy, has referred to a 'problem of leadership', while an insider tells me: 'We're making enemies on all sides in this. It's a total mess. Tim Davie is far from decisive and yet is getting involved in editorial decisions, which then go to shit. We're forever trying to guess where the next crisis will emerge from. Why should hard-working junior staff carry the can for mistakes he is making?' Glastonbury bar worker 'Helen from Wales', who filmed Kneecap's set from her phone and livestreamed it on TikTok, is emblematic of the nightmare Davie faces. Almost a quarter of a million people (presumably many of them young folk the BBC craves) have watched the video. And it cost her nothing – apart from burned fingers from an overheating phone. 'When there's censorship coming from large media institutions such as the BBC, I think it's up to people like me to step in,' Helen said. Another satisfied BBC customer. Anger is bubbling at the Daily Mail over cuts to the business and finance desks just weeks after another redundancy process concluded. Much fury is directed at the salaries of three big beasts: Boris Johnson on a £1m-a-year deal for an 'embarrassing' weekly contribution; Nadine Dorries on a healthy whack for her latest Ozempic tale; and Richard Littlejohn, who, it is believed, is earning in excess of £600k for a column in which he often berates civil servants for working from home – written from his mansion in Florida. One insider said: 'Those three alone could pay the salaries of 30 reporters. It's disgusting.' Highly respected business editor Ruth Sunderland is said to be among those facing the chop. Apparently such content fails to drive traffic and is not suitable for hiding behind the Mail+ paywall, which has reportedly become bosses' 'absolute obsession'. GB News's Bev Turner will front the channel's first foray into the US. Turner, a right-wing Covid sceptic who has backed Russell Brand and raised concerns about climate crisis reporting, is off to Washington for a new nightly show. 'Sending Bev to the US is like sending coals to Newcastle,' a former colleague says. 'It's not like the States is short of people with batshit crazy ideas who can read an autocue.' Never a wallflower, Piers Morgan has been celebrating hitting four million subscribers for his YouTube show Uncensored. A source close to Morgan says: 'It's a work-in-progress. Piers has always been aiming for world domination – so just another 8.058 billion viewers to go…' Snout line: Got a story?

Gemma Collins looks chic in a satin gown as she cosies up to fiancé Rami Hawash at Wimbledon after her impressive two stone weight loss
Gemma Collins looked chic as she cosied up to her fiancé Rami Hawash at Wimbledon on Wednesday. The TV personality, 44, who has recently lost an impressive two stone, wore a cream satin gown with floral detailing. She teamed her outfit with pair of two-tone sling back heels and a black wide brimmed straw hat. Gemma and Rami posed for photos outside centre court and sipped on a glass of Pimm's before heading inside. Rami looked smart in a blue blazer which he paired with a shirt and smart white trousers. They joined a slew of stars for day three of the Wimbledon Championships as they prepare to watch Emma Raducanu play 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova. It comes after the star claimed she's 'saving the NHS ' by taking Mounjaro after losing a 'life-changing' two stone. Gemma said she'll no longer need to go to the NHS with an 'obesity related illness' thanks to the help of the medication. She revealed in January that she'd been taking the NHS approved Mounjaro injections and has left fans stunned with her incredible transformation. She told The Mirror: 'I've lost so much weight, you wouldn't believe it. It's the only thing I've managed to lose weight on without putting myself on a stressful diet. 'I think I'm actually saving the NHS. I won't be going to the NHS with an obesity related illness so I won't be putting any strain on it. I'm loving life, honey.' Earlier this month Gemma posed up a storm in a white bandeau swimsuit as she posed with a hand on her hip for the stunning snap. She soaked up the sunshine and joked that she was on 'do not disturb' and 'unavailable' as she enjoyed her holiday. Gemma posed against a gorgeous holiday backdrop of the sea and palm trees at a beach club. She revealed in January that she'd been taking the NHS approved Mounjaro injections and has left fans stunned with her incredible transformation (left earlier this month and right in 2024) However, it comes just after Gemma was left horrified after discovering one unlikely side effect of the weight loss jabs. Gemma has been left concerned that her weight loss has left her 'looking older' as she shared a candid Instagram post this week pointing out her 'next level' crow's feet. She said: 'I really don't know what's happened to me, I really don't, It's just come on me overnight. But it has been a year since I've had any little tweakments.' 'I don't know if it's since I've been losing weight. I sure haven't got "Ozempic face" yet, but it would be the dream right now,' 'I've always had a fuller face, as you know. I do like expression around my eyes. I want to look natural still. But this just isn't right. What has happened? I am 44 but this is taking it to levels that I never, ever imagined it'd get to.' 'Ozempic face' is a used to describe noticeable facial changes, such as sagging skin and a gaunt appearance, that can occur after rapid weight loss, often associated with the use of medications like Ozempic. Meanwhile a source told The Mirror that while Gemma was poking fun at the situation she was in reality very concerned. 'She's eating really healthily and has broken some of the bad habits with food, It was a bit of a shock to her to really see the effect the weight loss has had on her face'. 'She doesn't want to suddenly look older than she is, which is why she's sorting it and being honest about it. Gemma's always been really open and honest about her relationship with her body and she's been through some really horrible times with it, but that's all in her past now.' Before adding: 'The wrinkle tweakments are all part of her wanting to feel and look good. She knows there's no point losing all the weight and just being unhappy, so she'll happily make little changes to keep herself feeling her best'.

Meghan Markle forced to give away free jam to customers after awkward blunder
Meghan Markle has been forced to give away some of her jam for free after an awkward glitch on her As Ever website. Last month, Meghan dropped brand new items from her lifestyle brand, including an apricot spread, as well as restocking other products including her flower sprinkles. But it has emerged that some customers who thought they had secured the £7 apricot spread have now been sent emails telling them that they would not be receiving the products, due to high demand. And to rectify the situation, not only would they be receiving a full refund but also be sent a jar of the spread for free when it is back in stock. The email sent to customers said: "'Due to high demand, we are unable to fulfil your order of the apricot spread at this time. We are refunding the purchase of this item by the end of this week. "In addition to the refund, we want you to know that when the apricot spread is back in stock, you will be the first to receive it, free of charge." The glitch emerged as Meghan's new rose wine, which is said to "capture the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments" and costs more than £20 a bottle, sold out within an hour yesterday. Meghan launched her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2023, described as having "soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish", on Tuesday. The beverage, priced at more than £65 for a minimum three-bottle order, had only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America. The wine went on sale at 4pm UK time, but the site was updated less than an hour later to signal stocks were sold out. In a post on Instagram, the duchess' As Ever brand said: "It's here! Raise a glass to the newest addition to the As Ever family. Our beautiful Napa Valley rose is now available". A short clip showed the wine being poured into a glass, with an accompanying sound. The pale pink wine, in a clear bottle with a white gold-rimmed label, was launched on a dedicated where an over-21 birth date must be inputted to enter and where the drink was described as: "A delicately balanced rose with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish." The site adds: "Reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles, it's crisp, pale in color, and effortlessly elegant – crafted for slow afternoons and golden-hour gatherings. This rose captures the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments through its thoughtfully crafted blend." The wine was not available to buy in orders of less than three bottles. Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (£65.64), six bottles cost 159 dollars (£115.97) including a 12 per cent discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (£218.81) including a 17 per cent discount. Shipping, which begins on July 9, costs an additional flat rate 20 dollars (£14.59) per order. Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.
