Jon Gosselin has undergone a body transformation thanks in part to Ozempic.
The former star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 has revealed that he lost 32 pounds in two months after taking injections of semaglutide, the generic form of the Type 2 diabetes drug known for causing weight loss. But there is one key thing he regrets about it.
"You know what's annoying?" the 47-year-old said April 26 in an interview with Page Six, which first reported the news, at the grand opening of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center West Hollywood, of which he is a client. "The regret of not starting it 10 years ago."
The DJ continued, "I feel amazing! Like, why didn't I do this sooner? Maybe it wasn't the right time."
In addition to the drug, Jon underwent testosterone replacement therapy and body contouring sessions as part of his wellness program at the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center.
For more than a decade, the former reality star underwent divorce proceedings and multiple custody battles with ex-wife Kate Gosselin, with whom he shares twins Cara and Mady, 23, and sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Alexis, Leah, Hannah and Collin, 19.
"A lot of things were going on emotionally and I went to court a lot, which was super expensive," Jon said. "It just wasn't a good time in my life. But now I finally have time to focus on myself."
He added that taking semaglutide helped him stop drinking and eat less. He also worked to make healthier food choices, saying, "I just told myself, 'Dude, you've got to stop eating fries. You've just got to stop eating drive-thru food.'"
Jon had previously also spoken about how his line of work had contributed to his unhealthy eating habits. "As a DJ, I work [from] 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., I work Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday," Jon told Entertainment Tonight in February. "It's the nighttime lifestyle—and I just kind of gained weight. It just kind of happened."
