Travis Barker's ex Shanna Moakler flaunts Mounjaro weight loss
Share and Follow

Shanna Moakler looked shockingly youthful in new photo she posted Friday that highlighted her recent weight loss due to an in-demand drug.

The 50-year-old model and reality star sizzled in a black-and-white zebra-stripe swimsuit that showcased her svelte figure and prominent cleavage.

She showcased her weight-loss achievements on the same day that Kourtney Kardashian, wife of her ex-husband Travis Barker, was lauded by her followers for not altering her swimsuit photo, unlike her well-known sisters. 

Shanna’s impressively slimmed-down figure was partly the result of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, which she admitted to taking in June of 2024.

She revealed at the time that she had resorted to a pharmaceutical solution for her swift weight gain, which she linked to her grief over the passing of both her parents in 2023. 

Mounjaro is the branded version of the generic injectable drug tirzepatide, approved by the FDA for diabetes treatment, while a similar version of the drug is marketed as Zepbound for weight loss and obstructive sleep apnea management.

The medication, which is meant to be taken in combination with diet and exercise, clearly gave Shanna the results she was seeking based on her newest photos.

Her one-piece Fashion Nova swimsuit featured a string halter top and a deep plunging neckline to showcase her bust.

The suit featured a risqué high-cut bottom and a sash knotted around her taut tummy to hold it in place.

The former Meet The Barkers star displayed a heavily made-up face — which made her look like a dead ringer for her daughter Alabama Barker — and particularly plump lips that were framed by her pin-straight blond locks.

‘“It’s no better to be safe than sorry,”’ 🖤 suit by @fashionnova,’ she captioned her post.

Fans in the comments were complimentary about Shanna’s outfit and figure. 

‘You look incredible!’ gushed one fan. 

‘So gorggg!!’ wrote another commenter.

One user wrote that she looked like ‘the definition of a hot mama 🔥🔥🔥🔥.’ 

In June of last year, Shanna shared that she had begun taking Mounjaro after putting on a significant amount of weight in the wake of the deaths of her parents.

After struggling with the loss of her mother, Gail, in January 2023, followed by her father, John, just seven months later, the reality star recalled falling into ‘a very, very dark place.’

‘I stopped dieting. I stopped exercising. I just ate like s***,’ the mom-of-three recalled to People at the time. ‘I was so devastated, and I missed my f***ing mom and dad. I was like, “I’m going to f***ing eat the pain away.”‘

She noted that her diet became worse after also enduring an uptick in paparazzi run-ins after news broke that her former spouse’s wife, Kourtney Kardashian, was hospitalized for emergency surgery to save her baby’s life.

‘It was on another level, and I didn’t know how to deal [with it],’ she explained of the ‘Kardashian media circus.’ ‘I was sad. And I just missed my parents so much.’

At the time she also posted a before-and-after photo of herself that highlighted her weight loss after going on Mounjaro.

Shanna doesn’t appear to have revealed how many pounds she has been able to shed since going on the drug, but her latest swimsuit photos suggest she has been keeping up her impressive progress. 

Later on Friday, Shanna shared a video to her Instagram page poking fun at fan perceptions of her as being lazy and spending most of her day in bed

Later on Friday, Shanna shared a video to her Instagram page poking fun at fan perceptions of her as being lazy and spending most of her day in bed.

‘I saw on your MTV show all you do is stay in bed,’ she captioned a clip of herself in the voice of an unseen critic.

She claimed that she played up her bed rotting as part of a storyline for Meet The Barkers decades earlier, but she was far more active than how she was presented on the series.

‘Couch potatoes walked so bed goddesses could run… I’m not lazy, I’m horizontal healing. Stay mad,’ Shanna captioned the clip.

After showing off her stellar figure, the blond beauty emphasized how well another aspect of her life was going by posting a sweet photo of her boyfriend, the actor Greg Vaughn, to her Instagram Stories.

She shared a black-and-white mirror selfie he had snapped, captioning it: ‘My bf calls me from work and taughts Me with his hotness it’s a problem [sic].’ 

Shanna revealed in April that she was dating Greg, 51, who won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2018 for his work on Days Of Our Lives.

‘I know we could both go on with our lives and we’d both be fine. But I’ve seen what we could be like back together. And I choose us” @thegreg_vaughan ⚓️❤️,’ she wrote at the time.

Although the actor is best known for his work on soap operas, including The Young And The Restless, General Hospital and Days Of Our Lives, he has also appeared in multiple films and was part of the main cast for season two of Charmed.
