Adam Devine, the 40-year-old actor and comedian known for his role in The Righteous Gemstones , has candidly discussed his significant weight gain during his wife Chloe Bridges pregnancy. Devine revealed that he gained around 25 pounds while his wife was expecting their child.
In a recent interview, Devine humorously described his weight gain, saying, 'She was pregnant, and meanwhile, I was just eating everything with her and gained, like, 25 pounds.' He jokingly referred to himself as 'a fat pig' and admitted to feeling embarrassed about his weight gain.
Devine also shared that he grew a beard to hide the fat around his neck, further emphasizing his discomfort with the weight gain. 'I was just a little garbage can of a person. Just a garbage disposal. I was so gross,' he added.
Contrasting Recovery Journeys
The comedian contrasted his own struggles with weight loss to his wifes swift recovery after giving birth to their son, Beau, in February. 'Her recovery was incredibly swift, both mentally and physically, which I found quite frustrating!' Devine noted. Bridges bounced back to her pre-pregnancy self in just about three weeks, a feat that Devine found particularly impressive given that she did not exercise during her recovery.
In contrast, Devine is now working out six days a week to shed the extra pounds. 'Meanwhile, I'm hitting the gym roughly six days a week to try and lose the 'walrus' that I've become,' he said, highlighting the stark difference in their post-pregnancy journeys.
Public Humor and Support
When Devine and Bridges announced their pregnancy, he playfully addressed his weight gain on Instagram. In a humorous post, he posed back-to-back with Bridges, both highlighting their bellies, and captioned it, 'Look, we're pregnant Well, I'm just fat now, but Chloe is actually pregnant with a baby It's definitely a thrilling time!' This lighthearted approach has been characteristic of Devines public persona and his ability to find humor in personal challenges.
