Katy Perry Allegedly Lost 20 Pounds Without Ozempic Amid Speculation

Katy Perry recently dropped 20 pounds -- and she allegedly didn't use weight-loss drugs to aid her despite public speculation. Here's what sources are saying.

Katy Perry is making headlines in 2024 for leaving American Idol and creating new music. The star also made waves in Paris during Fashion Week in June 2024. However, her looks caused a stir, as some Perry fans thought she might’ve been using weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. Here’s what an insider said about her recent drug-free weight loss.

Katy Perry allegedly lost 20 pounds without the help of weight-loss drugs, an insider claimed

Katy Perry fans noticed she looked different at Paris Fashion Week. Perry stepped out in a topless look worn with a fur coat during the Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show. She then debuted a red gown with a 100-yard train containing lyrics to her new single. Perry stepped out in yet another look that showed her body, as the dress contained neck-to-waist cutouts.

Fans online speculated that Perry may have jumped on the Ozempic train. Celebrities are using the popular drug for quick and effective weight loss. However, a source told Life & Style that Perry doesn’t take Ozempic or any other drug to manage her weight. Instead, the pop star achieved 20 pounds of weight loss with the help of her famous fiancé, Orlando Bloom.

“He’s been on a huge push himself the past year to get into the best shape of his life and has really motivated Katy to do the same,” the insider said. “Right from the moment they get up, their healthy routine starts. Orlando acts like Katy’s personal trainer, standing over her with his stopwatch, getting her to do lunges, squats, ab work, and even some light cardio before she’s had breakfast.”

The insider added that Bloom and Perry’s competitive nature caused her to get in “the best shape of her life” as they pushed and motivated each other.

Another source said Katy Perry changed her diet ahead of the release of her 6th album

A source also told DailyMail.com that Katy Perry’s 2024 weight loss wasn’t from Ozempic. Like the other source, they noted that Perry changed her diet and exercise habits thanks to Orlando Bloom. The pop star wants to look her best as she anticipates the release of her sixth studio album.

“She loves savory food, she loves chicken nuggets, and sugary food, but recently, she has been way more disciplined and has chosen to follow Orlando’s diet,” the insider spilled. “She has been working out more because she wants to do some shows to support her upcoming album, so now is the time to look great. Orlando has been her right-hand man and has helped her out.”

The source added that Perry’s weight loss has “nothing to do with” weight-loss drugs. “She just worked hard and is eating better than ever,” they added.

She said she takes time away from alcohol before the release of a new album or a tour

Katy Perry talked about her diet and exercise routine in the past. She explained how having a child sometimes caused her workout routine to fall to the wayside, as she wanted to prioritize spending time with her daughter. However, when it comes time to release new music or head out on tour, Perry said she’s known for cutting her alcohol intake.

“Sometimes when I’m prepping for a tour or album release, I’ll take three or six months where I’m not drinking at all,” she told Women’s Health in January 2023.

“I am a zero to 100 type of girl,” she continued. “I lean into the luxury and the pleasure. But then I have to recuperate and take time, pull back, re-energize by feeding myself good things and taking care of myself in certain ways so that I can go back out into the world and ham it up.”
