Shanna Moakler is turning heads again, looking younger than ever in a recent swimsuit photo that showed off her impressive weight loss.
The 50-year-old model and reality TV star wowed fans with a striking black-and-white zebra-print swimsuit that perfectly highlighted her slim figure and curves.
How a Popular Drug Helped Shanna Shed Pounds
Shanna’s dramatic transformation is partly thanks to the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, which she openly shared she started taking back in June 2024.
She turned to this medication after struggling with rapid weight gain following the heartbreaking loss of both her parents in 2023.
Mounjaro, an FDA-approved treatment originally designed for diabetes, has gained attention as a powerful weight-loss aid when combined with diet and exercise.
A Bold Fashion Statement with Confidence to Match
In her latest photo, Shanna rocked a daring Fashion Nova one-piece with a plunging neckline and a string halter top that showed off her figure.
The swimsuit’s high-cut bottom and stylish sash wrapped around her toned waist added to the look’s appeal.
Her makeup was glamorous, giving her a look reminiscent of her daughter Alabama Barker, with full lips and sleek blond hair completing the ensemble.
Fans Flood Social Media with Praise
The comments on Shanna’s post quickly filled with compliments.
Fans called her “incredible,” “gorgeous,” and the “definition of a hot mama.”
It’s clear her bold look and inspiring transformation have struck a chord with her followers.
The Emotional Journey Behind the Weight Gain
Shanna has been candid about the emotional toll losing her parents took on her.
After her mother Gail passed in January 2023 and her father John died just seven months later, she opened up about falling into a “very, very dark place.”
She confessed to abandoning dieting and exercise, trying to “eat the pain away” while coping with grief and the added pressure of media attention related to her ex-husband Travis Barker and his wife Kourtney Kardashian.
Breaking Down the Media Spotlight
She described how the media frenzy around Kourtney Kardashian’s emergency surgery added to her stress during that time, making her grief even harder to manage.
Despite all this, Shanna has shown resilience, gradually reclaiming control over her health and life.
Defending Herself Against Lazy Stereotypes
Later, Shanna shared a playful video poking fun at critics who’ve labeled her lazy based on reality TV portrayals.
She explained that her “bed-bound” persona was part of a storyline from Meet The Barkers, but in real life, she’s far from inactive.
“I’m not lazy, I’m horizontal healing,” she joked, encouraging fans to “stay mad” if they like.
Sharing Love and Life with Boyfriend Greg Vaughn
Alongside her fitness updates, Shanna also gave fans a glimpse into her happy personal life.
She posted a sweet black-and-white selfie taken by her boyfriend, actor Greg Vaughn, with a flirty caption about how his “hotness” is a problem.
The couple went public with their relationship earlier this year, and Shanna has been open about choosing to be with Greg despite their busy lives.
Greg Vaughn’s Acting Career and Awards
Greg is best known for his roles in popular soap operas like Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young and the Restless.
He even won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2018 and appeared on season two of Charmed.
The pair seem to be enjoying their time together, balancing careers and romance.
