Gayle King is turning heads with her remarkable appearance, as she continues to mingle with high-profile friends like billionaire Lauren Sanchez, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and the ever-influential Kris Jenner.

The 70-year-old CBS Mornings host recently enjoyed a luxurious vacation alongside her lifelong friend Oprah Winfrey and Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner. Their getaway on a yacht in Spain showcased not only their friendship but also Gayle’s ongoing journey with weight loss and fitness, a transformation she’s been openly sharing with the public for years.

In recent times, Gayle has been a fixture at prominent events, from attending Lauren and Jeff’s wedding to participating in the much-discussed Blue Origin spaceflight. Throughout these appearances, her noticeably trimmer figure has fueled speculation about the possibility of her using the popular weight loss medication, Ozempic.

Femail takes an in-depth look at the regimen behind Gayle’s transformation, exploring her diet and exercise routines. Despite admitting in March 2020 that she doesn’t particularly enjoy exercising, Gayle revealed to ELLE that she occasionally makes use of gym equipment to stay active.

“I try to figure out a way to get some kind of exercise,” she confessed, indicating a commitment to maintaining her health and well-being, even if the path isn’t always her favorite.

‘I try to figure out a way to get some kind of exercise,’ she told ELLE at the time.

‘I’ve been reading this book about the joy of movement, and I do think there’s something to that.’

Gayle added: ‘I’m not saying I like working out. I’m just saying I do it. I do the treadmill, I do the elliptical and I do weights. But I’m not going to sit here and say, “Oh, my god, I love it.”‘

The CBS Mornings host, 70, who recently vacationed with longtime friend Oprah Winfrey on a yacht in Spain, has been sporting a slimmer physique in recent months 

The journalist, who became a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model at 69 last year, previously shared that she works out for an hour five to six days a week. 

More recently, Gayle has been seen keeping active.

At the end of June, Gayle, along with best friend Oprah, was controversially in attendance at the lavish Venice wedding of Amazon mogul Jeff and new wife Lauren.

During her stay in the Italian city, Gayle was seen out and about in athleisure after a workout with Oprah.

They were both photographed bumping into recently single Orlando Bloom, 48, during their exercise routine, who chatted with the pair before continuing on his run.

Days later, Gayle uploaded a snap of her and Oprah on a hike during their vacation with Kris in Mallorca, Spain.

Twenty-one years ago, Gayle declared that she does not deny herself anything when it comes to her diet.

‘Some people don’t eat pasta or bread or sweets ever,’ she said. ‘I love those foods too much.

‘So, for the most part, I eat healthy, but if I go to a party or on vacation, I’m going to enjoy it, then I work extra hard to get back to where I was. 

‘Extra hard might mean going a few days without bread or dessert, or bumping up her exercise to two sessions a day.’

Speaking to Oprah.com, she continued: ‘I’ve learned that when you gain weight quickly, you can lose it quickly.’

In 2016, Gayle shed almost 30 pounds. Speaking to E News following her transformation, she confessed: ‘I feel really good. I know there’s more work to do but I feel really good.’

In 2020, Gayle, then aged 65, revealed she completed a five-day soup fast to try and squeeze into the dress she wanted to wear while covering the election after gaining 13 pounds during Covid.

The day before the 2020 presidential election, she shared side-by-side photos of herself standing on the scale before and after the diet.

While Gayle never stated what soup fast, she followed, it clearly worked. According to the scales, she dropped a total of seven pounds in just five days on the restrictive meal plan.

The journalist previously opened up about gaining around 13 pounds during quarantine in a post shared on Instagram.

In October 2020, she said: ‘CRISIS! The weight struggle is real! Fatter than I’ve been in long time and scared to get a pedicure (big sigh).’ 

In progressive snapshots of her standing on a weighing scale, Gayle revealed her weight crept up from 159.2 pounds to 172.2 pounds during the global crisis.

The CBS This Morning anchor shared photos of herself on the scale before and after the soup fast, sharing that she lost a total of seven pounds in five days

Gayle has not ever discussed using weight loss jabs, however in December 2023, her best friend Oprah admitted to using medication for her dramatic body transformation – after previously denying she would ever take Ozempic or similar drugs to lose weight.

Talk show host Oprah – who once topped the scales at 237lbs in 1992 – reached her 160lb goal weight that same year.

Earlier this year in January, she expressed that taking weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, helped her realize the truth about ‘thin people.’

‘One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people had more willpower,’ she confessed while discussing the function and safety of these types of drugs with Dr. Ania Jastreboff.

‘They ate better foods. They were able to stick to it longer. They never had a potato chip.’

But once she started on a GLP-1, Oprah realized that what she initially perceived as ‘willpower’ was actually an absence of intrusive hunger thoughts — often referred to as ‘food noise.’
