Ed Sheeran has been on a fitness journey throughout 2025. The You're Beautiful singer has shared that he's in "the best shape of my life" after losing 14 pounds. "I got to the start of the year, and basically, I put on a load of weight last year. I was, like, 'I'm gonna hit gym-heavy, try and lose a stone," Sheeran noted during an appearance on SiriusXM's Radio Andy show. "Then, as I was doing that, I was like, 'I want to see how far I can take this.'" He added, "I've never actually ever had a six-pack in my life. I was, like, 'I'm gonna see if I can do it.'" "I keep messing up because I keep being out somewhere, like, 'I'll have a couple of beers,'" the Play musician quipped. "But, I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life." The optimism comes after years of perceived pressure on the star to conform to a showbiz ideal. "Whenever I've been big, there's always online trolls or newspapers or comments," Sheeran noted. "In terms of actual pressure, internal pressure of, like, of record labels being, like, you have to be slimmer, no. The music industry is music first and then image second. I think there's definitely a lot of external pressures. You kind of get it in your head that you need to look like everyone else."
