When Kevin Federline began sporting an extra tire or two, some assumed Britney Spears‘ babydaddy was enjoying a carefree, “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Bacon” lifestyle. But the Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp contestant told Access Hollywood his rapid weight gain was a consequence of severe depression. “Once you get depressed, you don’t really feel like doing anything. You’re kind of discouraged about yourself and then the weight gain too, or that makes me more depressed.” And no, he didn’t gain the weight for the show. “I had maybe 24 hours to decide [to do Fit Club] because the show started taping the next day after that weekend. It just couldn’t have come at a better time.”
While he admits his breakup with Brit didn’t help (”everybody knows what happened with me and Brit”), Federline makes clear his real issue was with himself—after all, it’s not like she made him record that album. “Just not being happy with myself was probably the main part of my depression.” So there’s no beef with her new man Jason Trawick? “[My relationship with Britney] has gotten so much better than where we were.” I’m in the best possible scenario right now. I’m really happy for her. I’m very happy for her.”
See how Federline sheds the pounds when the new season of Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp debuts February 8th on VH1.
