‘I feel fit. “I’ve never been so fit,” she said Peoplenoting that her husband Daryl Sabara and their sons Riley, three, and Barry, eight months, have been so supportive.

She continued, “I have already told my household. I was like, ‘I’m training for the Olympics, okay?’ I want to exercise and eat healthy and feel good when I dance and sing.”

As for her biggest motivation, the Grammy winner explained, “I don’t want to get so confused, because right now I’m confused.”

Her tour follows the release of her sixth album, Timeless, which is due out on June 14, her husband’s birthday.

During the interview, her longtime love joined her and agreed as she announced their plans to “have two more children.”

The Massachusetts native, who has been praised over the years for her powerful lyrics about body positivity, previously lost 60 pounds after the birth of her first child.

‘I was my heaviest ever. I was 200 pounds…I just didn’t feel great,” she said People in November 2022. “I’ve never had stitches before, so to get this c-section scar, I was in a very dark place, and I wanted to be in a great place for my son.”

She said she started working out “every day” and was “very committed.”

“I started seeing the pounds come off, one pound at a time, week by week,” she recalled. “I’ve learned that I like healthy food, and I’ve learned what portions mean.”

Still, she admitted that she’s still learning to love her new postpartum body, which she said was “covered in scars and stretch marks in new places.”

Ultimately, she said she just wanted to be able to “run and keep up with her kids” and “put on a bathing suit and run there without being ‘in her head’ about it.”

“I’ve lost all the baby weight and 5 extra pounds, so I’m just going to go ahead and do this for my younger self,” she enthused.

Earlier this month, the All About That Bass singer announced her new album Timeless on Instagram.

‘It’s time!!! New album Timeless drops June 14th,” she captioned her post. ‘This album means so much to me and I can’t wait to share more. GET READY!’

The mother of two also released a new song, Been Like This, a collaboration with T-Pain.

The Mother hitmaker has also released the dates for her Limitless tour, which will see her tour the US this fall.

The album debuts as All About That Bass celebrates its 10th anniversary.

‘I can’t believe it’s been ten years since this all started, I’ve never been more grateful for this life that my incredible Megatronz has given me. This new album and tour is all for them and my beautiful family,” she said via Broadway world.

And she started her new era of music with a collaboration with her favorite artist, T-Pain.

“I worked with Meghan’s husband and manager for MONTHS to surprise her for her birthday,” T-Pain said.

‘She has been a fan of mine for a long time and the feeling is definitely mutual. I think we’ve come together in a way that’s a perfect blend of styles, leaving everyone ready to work together again soon. T-Pain and M-Train, the collaboration you didn’t know you wanted, but you needed.’
