Hottest Post Breakup Bodies

Best Post Breakup Bodies

By Nicole Dorsey-Straff

Jessica Simpson

She might have been ridiculed for her fluctuating weight during her two-year relationship with Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo, but after the quarterback dumped her, Jessica Simpson got back into stellar shape. According to OK! magazine, after the sudden split Jessica threw all the junk food in her kitchen out and started working out with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak several times a week. "Working out is helping to give her focus and clear her head. It's better than sitting around moping or throwing pity parties with ice cream sundaes," a friend reportedly said.

Jennifer Aniston

Love Happens … and then it doesn't. Ah, John Mayer, you really shouldn't have messed with the Jen. Just when you thought this former Friend couldn't possibly look anymore amazing after her breakup with Brad, the 40-year-old yoga devotee showed her former younger lover that women really do get better with age. While Jen's primary workout is now yoga led by longtime trainer Mandy Ingber, the New York native also runs, spins and eats a healthy diet to maintain a fantastically fit post-breakup body.

Reese Witherspoon

She credits her newly lean figure to eating well, body sculpting at the gym and regular yoga, but we'd say that the Academy-award winner's hunky, active boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal has something to do with the overhaul. Gone are her flabby days with cheating ex-husband Ryan Philippe. Today, this smoking hot mother of two works out with a trainer and frequents Yoga Hop, a studio in Santa Monica that plays radical Hip-Hop music while you practice sweaty plank poses and countless Downward Dogs. Eat your heart out, Ryan.

Anne Hathaway

When the post-pubescent Princess began dating real estate developer Raffaello Follieri, she told Harper's Bazaar "My boyfriend is incredible in a lot of ways ... One of the most untouted aphrodisiacs in the world is charity work. Seriously, you want a girl to be impressed, vaccinate some kids, build a house." Anne finally shed her cutesy baby fat after the Italian was indicted and sent to the slammer, and this Brooklyn-born actress carefully chose the next man of her dreams: Trainer Joe Dowdell, co-owner of Peak Performance Strength & Conditioning gym in NYC, who leads her in squats, lunges, weight training for the upper body and lots of ab crunches.

Kim Kardashian

You can tell when this reality star splits with on-again-off again love New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, because every time Kim says farewell to Bush -- who she has dated and separated from numerous times since 2007 -- her naturally curvy body gets leaner and meaner. Kim now exercises at least 45 minutes per day with sis Khloe, and keeps the sneaky snacking under control. As for the yo-yo curves, we say, punt Reggie once and for all and score one for a slimmer Kimmer.

Britney Spears

The once-again gorgeous former Mickey Mouser is still in the throes of her sold-out Circus concert tour. Fit and fabulous after dancing onstage for more than two hours a night and taking high-energy dance classes in cities along the tour, the 27-year-old's body is a far cry from the one she worked during her Cheeto-eating days while married to ex-husband Kevin Federline. The pop princess lifts weights and runs, according to her Web site, to enhance endurance, coordination and grace. As for K-Fed, well he's heading over to VH1's Celebrity Fit Club this season to drop those divorce pounds he's packed on since the split.

Carrie Underwood

The country crooner has several breakups under her rhinestone-crusted belt, but the one that helped her go from "Idol" to full blown super star was courtesy of Chase Crawford. Now that belt showcases a teeny, tiny waistline! The shapely 27-year-old vegetarian described her three to four times a week trainer-led workouts to Oprah: Cardio kickboxing, weight lifting, core work, and keeping a food log to track every morsel she eats.

Hayden Panetierre

The talented 20-year-old Hero lost the last of her baby fat once she busted loose from the confines of her relationship with co-star Milo Ventimiglia last year. A source close to the couple told People Magazine last year, "The relationship never had legs." Oh, yeah, but hottie Hayden most certainly does these days! She has a trainer who jump starts her weighted workouts at the gym, plus she uses stretching and cardio machines to blast more fat.

Liv Tyler

With sky-high cheekbones and gazelle legs that go on forever, the 5-foot-10 Liv came into her own when she and rocker husband Royston Langdon split. After hauling around an extra 10 pounds after the birth of toddler Milo, the Gothamite tapped trainer David Kirsch and his Ultimate New York Body Plan to shed the weight. It centers on his "ABCDEF" diet system, which bans certain foods for several weeks to jumpstart metabolism: Veto the Alcohol, Bread, starchy Carbs, Dairy, Extra Sweets, high-sugar Fruit and some Fats. That's a pretty strict diet, but from the looks of Liv, it's well worth the results.
