Ed Sheeran's Weight-Loss Journey: See the Singer's Transformation in Before and After Photos

Ed Sheeran has fans singing they are "in love with the shape" of him following his recent weight-loss.

Even before starting his journey, the "Shape of You" hitmaker consistently opened up about his diet and weight issues. During a 2017 appearance on "The Breakfast Club," he revealed he "doubled in size" after wrapping up his X Tour.

"[I] didn't realize how much I burned on stage. I stopped touring and I just ballooned instantly," said Sheeran, adding, "Well, I'm back on beer now, because I'm fine, but I cut out beer for a bit and started exercising, which was quite weird."

The same year, he attended The BRIT Awards in an all-black outfit.

The "Supermarket Flowers" singer appeared as a guest on the Italian talk show Che Tempo Che Fa. He looked sharp in a casual outfit consisting of a long-sleeved top and dark pants.

For the 2017 NRJ Music Awards, Sheeran wore an olive green button-up jacket over a black T-shirt, completing the look with dark jeans.

The "Thinking Out Loud" singer attended the 2018 BRIT Awards in a well-fitted suit complete with a boutonnière and black tie.

Sheeran appeared dapper at the U.K. film premiere of Yesterday at the Odeon Luxe in London.

Over a year later, he welcomed his first daughter, Lyra, with his wife, Cherry Seaborn.

"Since becoming a dad I've become quite clean-living. But I think actually taking time off and not being on tour was the worst thing for my health because I would drink every single day," he told The Sun.

Sheeran continued, "I stopped three months before Lyra was born because I was determined I was going to be the person to drive my wife to the hospital. I was 15-and-a-half stone (98 kilograms) at my peak, and I think I'm ten-and-a-half (66.6 kilograms) now — I was big, it really showed. I had a 36 waist — now I'm down to 28."

During the GQ Men of the Year Awards 2021, the "Photograph" singer looked dapper in his classic black suit.

Earlier that year, he revealed on BBC Radio 1 that he finally felt healthier than ever amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I've kind of stopped all the bad habit stuff in my life. Started exercising every day. I was eating like a takeaway every single day, and now I don't eat takeaway every single day and it's been good," Sheeran said, adding he was "not having chicken wings and two bottles of wine a night."

For the 2022 BRIT Awards 2022, Sheeran upstaged other attendees by slipping into a bright cobalt-blue velvet suit, which he paired with a dark tie and black shoes.

Sheeran attended the premiere of Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All in a casual getup.

In a March 2023 cover story for Rolling Stone, the "Happier" crooner confirmed he had "a real eating problem," which included issues with binge eating and purging.

"There's certain things that, as a man talking about them, I feel mad uncomfortable," Sheeran admitted. "It’s good to be honest…because so many [men] do the same thing and hide it."

Months after opening up about his struggles, he turned heads at the New York premiere of Netflix's Extraction 2.

Sheeran was spotted looking fresh on his way to Dodger Stadium for the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Gala.

In April, the "A Little More" singer serenaded fans during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Sheeran made jaws drop when he debuted a noticeably slimmer physique at the premiere of F1 in London. For the event, he sported a light blue suit that complemented his white T-shirt and white sneakers.

Sheeran flaunted the results of his weight-loss journey at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival.

During an interview with Andy Cohen, he disclosed how he launched his weight-loss journey to be in the "best shape" of his life.

"I'd put on a load of weight last year, and I was like, 'I'm gonna hit the gym heavy, try and lose a stone,'" Sheeran said. "As I was doing that, I was like, 'I'm gonna see how far I can take this.'"

As for his physical goal, he told Cohen he "never actually had a six pack" in his life, and wanted to see if he could achieve it.

"I keep messing up, 'cause I keep being out somewhere being like, 'I'll have a couple of beers,' and it just, you know," he confessed. "But I'd say it's going all right. I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life."
