How Do Celebrities Stay So Lean? We Dug Into What the Stars (and Their Trainers) Actually Do — and the One Trick That Doesn’t Cost a Hollywood Salary
June 05, 2026

Jessica Simpson, 43, recently shared some Instagram photos on her personal and apparel pages. However, fans were far less concerned about her outfits as they focused on a different aspect of Simpson's appearance.
Fans only seemed to notice how thin Simpson had become and how different she looked now from how she looked when she was younger. One fan said "It seemed like "she can barely stay upright." Another commented:
"Soul less eyes… something not right."

Many fans wondered what was wrong with Simpson; others speculated she might be on Ozempic to help her lose weight. One fan said she had "dead" eyes, and another likened her look to a Victorian death photo.
Although many fans have criticized Simpson for her weight, speculating as to why she might have been able to shed as many pounds as she has in recent years, Simpson has dispelled the rumors.
Her weight is something that Simpson has struggled with for most of her time in the entertainment industry. Four years ago, she began a rigorous workout regimen that saw her walking 14,000 steps daily.
This workout regimen helped Simpson lose 100 pounds after giving birth to her three children, whom she shares with Eric Johnson. Simpson has previously shared that after her last pregnancy, she gained 240 pounds.
In April last year, she took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in a bikini. In the caption, she shared that she had gained and lost 100 pounds three times but was proud that she was finally confident enough to wear a bikini.
Simpson wanted to lose weight right after having her last child, but her trainer encouraged her to approach her weight loss more holistically by focusing on first losing weight outside the gym. This time, she got in her daily steps; she went tech-free for an hour each day, got plenty of sleep, and ate healthily.
These small changes allowed Simpson to feel her best again after having dedicated her body to creating and raising her family for a decade before she finally lost weight.
In November 2021, Simpson shared a photo of herself in 2017. She shared that she didn't recognize the person in the photograph and began a path to self-discovery after it was taken.
Simpson has also talked about how she had to gain back her self-respect by giving up alcohol. When she made the Instagram post in November 2021, she had stopped drinking for four years. She shared:
"I can't believe it has been 4yrs! It feels like maybe 2. I think that is a good thing. Ha. There is so much stigma around the word alcoholism or the label of an alcoholic. The real work that needed to be done in my life was to actually accept failure, pain, brokenness, and self-sabotage. The drinking wasn't the issue. I was. I didn't love myself."
Despite what some social media users say about her new look, she has since made strides to love and respect herself again. Simpson also received many loving and supportive comments on her sobriety post, with people congratulating her for her bravery.
