Adam Devine, 40, shared his experience with gaining “dad weight” during his wife Chloe Bridges’ pregnancy and his subsequent efforts to shed the excess pounds. He jokingly described himself as looking like a blueberry and feeling ashamed of his weight gain. Devine revealed that he dropped 20-25 pounds by watching what he eats and working out. Despite gaining more weight than Chloe during her pregnancy, he found it enjoyable to indulge in her cravings. The couple welcomed their son Beau in February 2024 and are now enjoying baby bliss.
Devine expressed his readiness for first-time parenthood, mentioning that he was prepared for his social life to change and to focus on being a dad at home.

However, he praised his wife for being understanding and supportive of his work commitments, showing a shared mentality of balancing work and family life.
In addition to his parenting duties, Devine has been working on various projects, including a commercial for TurboTax’s “Beat Your Price” campaign. In the ad spot, he created a catchy jingle called “Tax Break Up” and enjoyed the opportunity to showcase his song-and-dance skills. Devine humorously mentioned that he loved the campaign, particularly when his Workaholics co-star Eric Griffin was cast as an old CPA. He highlighted the importance of taking financial responsibility, particularly as fans who grew up watching his work may also be at a stage where they need to consider professional help with their taxes.
Devine reflected on his age and how it aligns with his fans’ life stages, suggesting that as he gets older, it may be time to take finances more seriously. He emphasized the importance of seeking professional help with taxes and making the necessary adjustments as one ages. Devine’s experiences with weight loss, fatherhood, and balancing work and family life contribute to a relatable narrative for many of his fans who may be going through similar life transitions.
