Earlier in June, Ricki shared a stunning photo of herself in the stunning red dress she danced in during the Dancing With The Stars final.

In the caption of the post, Ricki marveled at the fact that the dress “fits again,” 13 years after coming third in 2011.

Ricki revealed in May that she had lost 35 pounds through sheer willpower, putting an end to rumors that she had used the famous weight-loss drug Ozempic.

“I’m not a superhuman, but I am someone who, when I put my mind to something, for the most part, I do it,” she said People.

The Hairspray actress added, “I have a lot of willpower. I’ve been big, I’ve been skinny. I’ve been 260 pounds; I weighed 120 pounds.”

Ricki also said she feels different in her 50s because she no longer focuses on a number on a scale, finally realizing that it’s actually all about “feeling the best we can for as long as we can.” ‘.

In terms of specific weight loss tips, Ricki said, “Get outside and walk. Get out and enjoy nature, rain or shine. I live in Malibu. I’m going into these mountains.’

After her doctor told her she wouldn’t be able to lose weight without a pill or injection, Ricki took it as a personal challenge and believes she succeeded for one main reason: she loves herself.

And that’s the advice she gives to her fans and others who are currently on their own weight loss journey.

Ricki is married to attorney Ross Burningham. They started dating in 2020 after being introduced by a mutual friend.

The couple became Instagram official in December 2020, when Ricki shared a photo of them on Instagram with the caption, “Love.”

Ricki and Ross got engaged in February 2021 and married the following year in a small ceremony surrounded by their immediate family, friends and their six children from previous relationships.

She shares two children – sons Milo, 26, and Owen, 23 – with first husband Rob Sussman, an illustrator.

Her second husband, jewelry designer Christian Lake, suffered from bipolar disorder and died by suicide in 2017, two years after his and Ricki’s divorce.

In addition to her weight, Ricki also suffered from hair loss in recent years.

She said the hair loss was the result of years of depression and dangerous dieting.

However, her hair is now back and better than ever, and Ricki attributes this to Harklinikken hair products.
