The 46-year-old internet personality – whose memoir Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic comes out on February 17 – said they faced intimacy challenges before the music artist, 41, lost 300lbs.
'We always had a sex life, but there were mountains and valleys that we had to go through, especially when he was so big,' she told Us Weekly.
Now that he's shed the weight, she said 'his new zest for life' is 'so childlike and just giddy' and now she gets to see him 'be the man that I always saw that he was.'
'Even when he was 500 pounds, this dude was an agile, big guy. I’m like, "You are athletic under that meat suit."
