The Weight Watchers team looked just as enthused as he was about his decision to come on board, with Mindy Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Weight Watchers International, Inc. exclaiming "DJ Khaled has an incredibly authentic drive and passion to inspire others through his wellness journey and experiences on WW Freestyle. Being healthier is not just about weight anymore. It's about overall health and wellness—being your best self. By capturing and sharing his process, he will enliven and inspire his community, showing that it's possible to integrate healthy habits into your life."
His major inspiration in all of this just happens to be his adorable 1-year-old son Asahd. "My son is my love, my life, and I need to be great for him," he said. "To be great is to be healthy; to be healthy means a shift in my lifestyle, and the new WW Freestyle program is all about healthier habits for my life. The WW program and community is my partner in this process to greatness, and I'm grateful for what's to come and to share my journey with you all."
The news of him joining seemed to be fantastic for Weight Watchers, as shares of the company rose 6 percent on Tuesday. The rise in its stock is similar to what happened when Oprah Winfrey purchased a nearly 10 percent stake in the company back in 2015.
