Ana Navarro Reveals She’s Taking Mounjaro After Years of Weight-Loss Speculation

Ana Navarro finally revealed that she takes Mounjaro, a brand-name prescription injectable medicine containing tirzepatide, after years of speculation about her weight-loss journey.

The TV personality casually made the admission during the Tuesday, September 8, episode of The View.

Tuesday's episode was part of the celebration for the 30th anniversary of The View. As such, the co-hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Navarro — looked back on some of the most iconic moments on the show.

One throwback clip showed Navarro being surprised by '70s icon Charo, as the two women danced around the TV set in 2022.

After watching the clip, Navarro alluded to her changing appearance since that clip was filmed.

"Those were all pre-Mounjaro," she joked. "We’ve lost the equivalent of a baby hippo on that stage."

This is the first time the TV star has ever publicly confirmed that she takes a GLP-1.

Navarro sparked weight loss speculation for years as she showed off her smaller frame. Some commentators went so far as to speculate that she was taking a GLP-1 medication such as Ozempic or Mounjaro, though she never confirmed using either drug.

After posting pictures of herself on Instagram in May 2023, fans immediately brought up the topic of Ozempic.

"Ozempic, just be honest. Kelly C, Oprah. Don’t be ashamed, please don’t act like it’s just a diet," one person said, referring to Kelly Clarkson and Oprah Winfrey, who have both confessed they used medication to help them lose weight.

"Ohhh Ohhhh Ohhh Ozempic!! Just fess up. You look great. If I could afford it, I’d be taking it too," wrote someone else.

Shortly afterwards, Navarro addressed the comments head-on. "I’ve posted about my weight-loss journey many times," she said (via People). "I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. The pandemic and menopause made it worse. In 2021, my mom died of kidney disease brought on by diabetes. She suffered terribly the last years of her life. That scared the beejeezus out of me."

She went on to credit her transformation to a visit to a wellness spa, where she learned to cook and eat a more balanced diet, along with exercising regularly.

"I am not equipped to give anyone advice or endorse any solution," she added at the time.

GLP-1s are popular among The View stars.

As well as Navarro, Goldberg admitted to taking Mounjaro in March 2024, crediting the drug with slimming her down after she hit around 300 pounds on the scale.

At the same time, Hostin said that she'd taken a GLP-1 to help lose the weight she'd gained during the pandemic, per Page Six.
