Christopher Schwarzenegger Lost 30 Pounds by Giving Up Bread
Christopher Schwarzenegger has finally spoken out about his dramatic weight loss.
The 27-year-old son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver appeared at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles (via People) on May 10, where he spoke with Kelly Osbourne and event host Jeff Beacher about finally shedding his excess weight after nearly a decade of effort.
"It was a big process," Schwarzenegger admitted. "I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities. I was like, 'I want to go skydiving.' And my friends were like, 'Yeah, no shot.' I was like, 'Yeah, I can't skydive.''Schwarzenegger's battle to shed weight began during his teen years, but it took several attempts to find a successful diet. "I tried everything. I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school," he recalled.
But even though he's slimmer than ever before, Schwarzenegger still feels his body is a work in progress. "It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error,' he explained. 'And even still to this day…when you're saying, oh, before and after photos…I don't feel like I'm an after yet. I don't feel like I'm at the point."Luckily, he's found a bit of a shortcut to his fitness goals. Schwarzenegger said that he gave up eating one food item this year, which resulted in him shedding a whopping 30 pounds in under two months. "Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent,' he admitted. 'I was like, 'Well, if I'm giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I'm a good Catholic boy, so I'm not going to break it.' And that was my one rule. I was like, 'I'm not going to break Lent.' And so I lost 30 pounds just through that."

Monique Samuels Is Back On RHOP—And She's Bringing A Whole New Vibe
Source: Shannon Finney / Getty It's official: the Queen of clapbacks and binder receipts is making her return to The Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP). Amid swirling rumors, People magazine confirmed that Monique Samuels will appear in a supporting role in Season 10 of the hit Bravo show. Pause for reaction – because Monique's return could be huge. (With the Grand Dame Karen Huger in rehab and Mia Thornton's departure for a 'new beginning,' Monique's return makes sense.) RELATED: 'RHOP' Star Monique Samuels Essential Oils Line Keep Her 'Focused And Clear' Now if you're a true RHOP stan, then you already know Monique's exit in 2020 was one of the most dramatic in Housewives history. From the heated on-camera altercation with Candiace Dillard Bassett (now off the show) to her emotional departure over how it all impacted her family, Monique left the franchise with both a bang and a boundary. 'When you cross certain lines, there's no going back. And for me, my family is that line,' she said back then via Instagram. But she's back and said to be in a different space. 'Monique's in a totally different place now, and fans will see that,' a source told People . 'She's excited to show who she is now — not as a wife, not as just a mom, but as a woman starting over and taking on life on her own terms.' Monique has been pretty busy since her RHOP exit – and fans know her life has dramatically changed. She divorced her husband, NFL player Chris Samuels, after 11 years of marriage, launched her Mila Eve Essentials business, held down a spot on a popular DMV radio show, and even had a stint on Love & Marriage: DC . So yes, Monique will have a lot to dish on. Her divorce and exit alone is a strong storyline for at least two episodes. Further, Love & Marriage DC gained popularity quickly. ( While it aired, producers positioned Monique as the ringleader in the show.) Monique has always resonated with Black women because she moves with class, complexity, and a deep desire to protect our peace. And after surviving one of the messiest exits in Bravo history, it's refreshing to see her stepping back into the spotlight her way.

Chris Martin Supports Dakota Johnson Amid Breakup Reports
In case you missed it, it was reported last week that Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have ended their relationship after nearly eight years of on-and-off dating. If that sounds familiar, that's probably because this isn't the first time we've had split reports about this notoriously private couple. However, a source alleged to People on June 4 that this separation 'feels final.' As it stands, neither Chris nor Dakota has confirmed or commented directly on the breakup reports. But, whether they're together or not, Chris is still going out of his way to support her. Fan footage from the Coldplay show in Las Vegas on Friday, June 6 — two days after the breakup reports surfaced — shows Chris wishing the crowd goodnight as he exits the stage. 'Thank you, everybody! Be kind to each other!' he says into the microphone before adding: 'Don't forget to go see Materialists!' If you're in need of some context, Materialists is the new and highly anticipated Celine Song movie starring Dakota alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, which is due to hit theaters on June 13. It's not entirely clear whether Chris's mention of the new movie is a means of quashing the breakup reports or if he's merely being a supportive ex. And in the comments section of the TikTok video, fans have expressed their confusion. 'If they really were broken up would he go out of his way to mention materialists?' questioned one user, followed by someone else who speculated that it might have been his way of 'saying 'we're still together.'''Maybe he just really likes Pedro Pascal like the rest of us,' another user joked, while someone else pointed out that 'you can love and support someone and not be with them.' Whatever's going on, it seems like these two are probably on good terms. And if there's one thing about Chris, he certainly knows how to maintain a good relationship with an ex — need I mention Gwyneth Paltrow and the conscious uncoupling?
