We can’t all bounce back like Chloe Bridges.
New dad Adam Devine revealed to in an exclusive interview that he gained 25 pounds during his wife’s pregnancy.
“Her mental bounce-back was super fast for her, and her physical bounce-back was so annoying!” the actor — whose son, Beau, was born in February — told us. “She was pregnant, and meanwhile, I was just eating everything with her and gained, like, 25 pounds.”
“I was just a fat pig,” he continued. “I was just a little garbage can of a person. Just a garbage disposal. I was so gross.”
Devine, 40, admitted that he was “a little ashamed” of the weight he put on, so he “grew a bad beard to cover [his] neck fat.”
While the “Workaholics” alum is just now “starting to bounce back,” Bridges, 32, “bounced back in, like, three weeks.”
“She looked like herself, and it was so annoying. And [she] didn’t work out!” the comedian shared. “Meanwhile, I’m working out, like, six days a week to try to shed the walrus that I’ve become.”
In spite of the extra pounds, Devine is thriving as a first-time father.

“It’s great! We love it. I’m honestly just having a blast,” he gushed. “I feel like I’m coming into my own as a dad. I feel like I was born to be [a dad]. I’ve always sort of looked like a dad. I’ve always given dad vibes. … So now I’ve fully become myself.”
Referring to himself as “an old dad,” the “Pitch Perfect” star confessed that he and Bridges — who tied the knot in October 2021 after six years together — “waited” to start a family because “everyone” around them “tried to scare [them] out of” parenthood.
As for how his relationship with Bridges has changed since the duo became a party of three, Devine told us that he and the actress “respect each other more.”
He went on to sing Bridges’ praises for bearing the brunt of the child “rearing” while he tends to his incredibly busy work schedule.
The “Righteous Gemstones” star’s latest gig is a partnership with TurboTax on the company’s new Beat Your Price campaign, which encourages tax filers to switch to TurboTax Full Service and receive at least 10 percent reduction in the fees they paid their licensed tax preparers last tax season.
“TurboTax has just always made it so easy to do,” Devine said, adding that “they have tons of tax pros that you can just talk with at any given time — anywhere at any time — and they can answer your questions for you. … They walk you through the whole process, which is so helpful.”
