‘GMA’ Star Shocks Fans With ‘Changed’ Body
GMA viewers usually only see the hosts sitting behind the desk in professional attire. Fans were left in complete disbelief after a popular host showed off their ‘changed’ body in a teeny, tiny bikini. Stay on this page to see the photo everyone is talking about.
GMA Star Embarks On Yearlong Fitness Journey
Jen Ashton left Good Morning America in 2024 after 13 years. Her contract with the ABC show was up and she wanted to move on to other ventures. One venture that was close to her heart was her wellness company, Ajenda. The company focused on women’s health, particularly menopause and weight management.
She was the network’s chief medical correspondent for years, sharing her knowledge with viewers. That didn’t stop once she left GMA. She often shares updates about her life and wellness company on social media.
Jen Ashton Opens Up About ‘Changed’ Body
Dr. Jen Ashton began her fitness journey in 2025. The journey was prompted by her asking herself how she could “level up” her fitness and nutrition. She worked with her friend trainer Korey Rowe on her “wellness experiment.”
“It took curiosity, commitment to the process — not the product — and the science-backed system of nutrition, fitness with intensity and focus on the little things that all added up to feeling better this year, than I did last year,” she wrote on social media in late 2025. She returned to the platform to show off her “new year, new me” transformation.
Jen Ashton still lives in the NYC area after leaving GMA. But she took to Instagram over the holidays to share photos from a beach vacation. The former morning show co-host, 56, showed off her toned figure in a teeny, tiny black bikini.
“This photo isn’t about my “before” or “after.” It’s about showing up in a 56 year old body that’s lived, learned, changed and adapted,” she wrote in the caption.
“Health after 50 is really more about the long-game, not the glow-up. Don’t get me wrong: I’m happy about how I look. But I’m even happier about I feel and what I can do,” Dr. Jen Ashton added.
“If you’re stepping into this year feeling stressed, tired of starting over, or wondering if it’s “too late,” let me say this clearly. It’s not. You don’t need a new body. You need a plan that respects the one you’re in,” she shared with her followers who wanted to make their own health changes.
Fans Shocked By Transformation
The former GMA host is stunning no matter her age or fitness routine. But fans took to the comments to praise her for her dedication to her health.
- “You looking amazing!!!”
- “This is the most beautiful message! Happy New Year! And you look healthy and gorgeous!”
- “Omg you are stunning and in AMAZING Shape. Well deserved for your relentless dedication”
- “Thank you for all you give ‘us” over 50… example, information, encouragement!!!! It helps soooo much!”
- “Beautifully stated Dr. Ashton!! You continue to be such an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge for all of us! We love you!!”
Dr. Jen Ashton is an inspiration to anyone. However, her post was especially meaningful for women over the age of 50 struggling with weight management. Follow her on social media for updates on her continuing quest for wellness.
