Alex said his road to putting his health first began following conversation with his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis—with whom he shares daughters Natasha, 18, and Ella, 15.
“Overall health is just so important, especially as you get older,” the 48-year-old explained to E!. “I have young daughters. I want to make sure that I’m living my best life. During the pandemic, it got away from me a little bit. I started gaining some weight. My ex-wife Cynthia—who’s one of my greatest friends in the world, she’s an amazing woman, we have two daughters together—she said, ‘Alex, I don’t like what I’m seeing.’ She said, ‘I’ve known you 30 years, and you’ve never looked worse.’ And those are harsh words to hear, but I love her for it because they were honest.”
Today, Alex is thrilled with where he is when it comes to his overall wellness.
“Two years later, I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life,” he added, “but I’m also happy and I’ve made some big, big changes in my life.”
