Sam: ‘I’m getting fit for big Paul’
The couple that squat together look hot together
She’s seriously upped her fitness game over the past few months, crediting her weekly workouts with an online personal trainer for “keeping me motivated and sane” during lockdown. And looking at Samantha Faiers’ Instagram account, the results are paying off, as The Mummy Diaries star is looking healthy, happy and more energised than ever. According to insiders, her amped-up fitness kick is two-fold – one, it keeps her feeling positive, and two, it’s proving to be a big hit with partner Paul Knightley, who’s also had a massive shape-up of his own.
“Sam wants to look her best for Paul,” says an insider close to the 29 year old, who’s mum to Paul, four, and two-yearold Rosie. “She was in the best shape ever when she and Paul met, but she got pregnant five months later, and then had Rosie soon after, so she feels like she never got her pre-baby body back. During lockdown, she’s been working really hard, and Paul’s also been exercising– she wants them to be fit together. She’s loving the results, and so is he.”
Earlier this month, Paul, 32, shared the results of his eight-week fitness journey, thanking Sam for “prepping all my meals and [her] encouragement”. And apparently, the feeling is mutual. In fact, we’re told that Sam and Paul’s workouts have helped reignite the spark between them.
But it’s not just their bodies that have had an upgrade – in March, the family moved from their Hertfordshire home into a luxury Surrey mansion. Judging by their loved-up pics and fitness posts, all the change has done wonders for them both. ■
