Meghan Trainor and her husband Daryl Sabara show off their slimmed-down frames in New York after couple both admitted to taking Mounjaro

Daily Mail​22-04-2025

Meghan Trainor and her husband Daryl Sabara showed off their slimmed-down frames in New York on Monday after recently admitting 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.'

Meghan would've 'horrified' King with astonishing move as she 'clings' to title

Meghan Markle raised eyebrows with a video of her twerking trying to bring on labour - and royal expert Jennie Bond has revealed how those at the palace would have reacted to the clip Meghan Markle would have left King Charles 'horrified' with her "utterly bizarre" decision to share a video of her twerking to bring on labour, a royal expert has claimed. The Duchess of Sussex astonished royal watchers and fans by posting the video of her dancing in a hospital room alongside Prince Harry while waiting for the arrival of their daughter, Princess Lilibet. In the clip, a heavily pregnant Meghan twerks to the Starrkeisha song Baby Momma lifting her skirt above her knees, raising her hands in the air and wiggling low with her hands on her hips and legs. Meghan shared the clip on Lilibet's fourth birthday, saying: "Four years ago today, this also happened. ‌ ‌ "Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!" And for royal expert Jennie Bond, she believes it is an "astonishing video on any level" and reveals what the King would have thought of it. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror: "The hours before you give birth are some of the most personal, intimate and private in the lives of any couple. "And women are perfectly entitled to do whatever they feel like to get through the waiting, and the pain. Giving birth is a serious business, and anything to lighten the mood is welcome. "However - to share those scenes with the world is utterly bizarre and, in my view, takes away all the magic of the moment. I cannot imagine why she chose to release it. Maybe show it one day to your nearest and dearest— but to anyone and everyone who wants to click on it? "I can hear the voice of the late Queen's former private secretary, Lord Charteris, repeating the comments he once made about Fergie: 'Vulgar, vulgar, vulgar'. ‌ "If the King has watched it, which I doubt, though he can't have missed the headlines I'm sure he would be horrified. Royalty has to carry with it some measure of dignity." Since sharing the clip many have questioned why she posted it, given the couple's supposed desire for privacy. And Jennie added: "I'm glad they were so happy before the birth, I'm glad Harry was there to support his wife in every way, I'm delighted to hear that he's such a great dad. But they really can't have it both ways. "They can't demand privacy and be so coy about sharing images of their children and then show us all these intensely intimate scenes. And she cannot expect to be treated as if she's royal whilst behaving like a click-hungry social media influencer. ‌ "Having said all that, there's no doubt that videos like this connect in a very real way to young people. And perhaps that's what Meghan is trying to do. My own daughter thought the video humanised both Meghan and Harry and was light-hearted and hugely relatable. It reminded her of her own pregnancies and labour and she thought it was rather charming. In many ways, I agree with her. I just don't think it sits happily with trying to cling to the vestiges of being 'royal'." Get Royal Family updates straight to your WhatsApp!

Meghan Markle doesn't care if Brit 'haters' winced at her twerking birth video

While most people were delighted to see it the candid video shared by Meghan Markle - others were less impressed as Meghan got some backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry Meghan Markle's video of her twerking in the delivery room before daughter Lilibet's birth divided fans this week but she seems to have put the embarrassment behind her. To honour her daughter's fourth birthday Meghan posted the video on her Instagram account this week- giving fans an inside glimpse of the day the young princess was born. Prince Harry also featured in the video wth a twerking Meghan Markle in the delivery room before Princess Lilibet was born in 2021. ‌ The candid moment shows Meghan in the late stages of her pregnancy, dancing around a hospital room to the song Baby Mama with Harry by her side, in an attempt to induce her labour. Alongside the divisive video, Meghan wrote: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" ‌ Despite the backlash over her dodgy dancing with Harry to the soundtrack of Starrkeisha's Baby Mama song, defiant Meghan is thrilled by the reaction in America. A source told MailOnline: "Meghan doesn't care about the haters in Britain calling her vulgar. Americans thought the twerking video was hilarious and relatable." One person wrote on X: "Oh my. That's really just awful," while another user joked: "They are cringe to the max… I feel nauseous." Others claimed the Sussexes were making a mockery of their royal titles by sharing the video, with one writing: "Good grief, these people have titles. Ruining the reputation and respect of the Royal Family, one Instagram post at a time." However, others sharing their thoughts on the video, praisied their fun and caring relationship and were delighted to see it. One person voiced their support Harry and Meghan, writing on X: 'This is everything! Harry on beat and Meghan dropping it like it's hot. They look like they have so much fun together.' A source close to the Sussexes added: "Meghan is very pleased with the video. In the UK everyone's reaction has been a bit prudish but everywhere else, particularly in America and especially with young people, it has been a huge hit." Meghan is about to launch a series of new products as part of her As Ever line – including rosé wine. The source added: "She and her team count it [the video] as a 'win', which can only be a boost for sales. Her new products are marketed at Americans and not at the UK market." Meghan and Harry celebrated Lilibet's fourth birthday on Wednesday, with Meghan posting a series of unseen family photos to her Instagram account to celebrate the special day. Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling Lili, while they both sported windswept hair as they sat together seemingly on a boat.

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's furious row that 'ripped the monarchy to pieces'

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton were said to have had a furious row during a clear-the-air meeting in 2018 A Royal expert has described a crucial meeting between Prince William, Prince Harry, Kate and Meghan as an event that "ripped the monarchy to pieces". The explosive encounter reportedly took place in June 2018 when the Prince and Princess of Wales sat down with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex amid rising tensions after Harry and Meghan's wedding. The situation escalated post-ceremony, as recounted in Prince Harry's memoir 'Spare', who cited early turbulence involving his wife and his sister-in-law. He detailed a dispute concerning bridesmaid dresses prior to his wedding which purportedly left Meghan in tears, mentioning that Kate "grimaced" when Meghan used her lip gloss. ‌ In an effort to resolve matters, both couples convened for a candid discussion after the Sussexes returned from their honeymoon. The atmosphere during the chat reportedly grew so fraught that it caused physical signs of distress in the Princess of Wales. ‌ According to Harry's depiction in 'Spare', the intense air-clearing session at Kensington Palace saw Kate demand an apology from Meghan while clenching a leather sofa, which saw her "fingers turn white". Harry detailed in 'Spare' that Kate's request stemmed from a comment Meghan made about her pregnancy hormones, referring to it as "baby brain". Meghan apparently offered her apologies, justifying the contentious remark as commonplace amongst her circle of friends, reports the Mirror. The situation escalated when Harry alleged that William "pointed a finger at Meg", and reportedly admonished: "Well, it's rude, Meghan. These things are not done here." Harry claims Meghan retorted: "If you don't mind, keep your finger out of my face." ‌ In the new Channel 5 documentary 'Meghan vs Kate: The Meeting That Changed the Monarchy', Royal commentators suggest this encounter was pivotal for the Sussexes, setting in motion their eventual departure from Royal duties. Richard Kay of the Daily Mail posited that this was the moment "the seed of Megxit was sewn", while his colleague Sarah Hewson reflected: "Had that meeting been a success, had they been able to put their differences aside, things would have been very different indeed." Newsweek's chief Royal correspondent Jack Royston commented: "If only they'd listened. If Meghan had listened to what was being said to her, she could have changed way back in 2018. ‌ "And even if they had still quit the monarchy, they could have saved themselves so much pain and so much conflict." He went on: "What happened in that room back in June 2018 was the defining element of the relationship between the two couples that ripped the monarchy to pieces." ‌ Valentine Low, a noted Royal author, also remarked: "They had pathetic little differences that should have been sorted out in two minutes. But it helped fuel the flames." Harry's candid reflections in his memoir 'Spare' come as Meghan shared her experiences with the royals on their Netflix series. Recounting their earliest encounters, she expressed surprise at the private formality of the Royal family members. ‌ In the second instalment of their six-part Netflix documentary, 'Harry and Meghan', the Duchess discussed her first impressions of her brother-in-law and wife Kate. "When Will and Kate came over, and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner, I remember I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot," Meghan explained. ‌ "I was a hugger. I've always been a hugger, I didn't realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits." The mother-of-two elaborated further on the Royal customs saying: "I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside. "There is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and go 'You can relax now', but that formality carries over on both sides. And that was surprising to me."
