'RuPaul's Drag Race' Season 13: Who is judge Ross Matthews? Here's his inspiring 50-pound weight loss journey
The pandemic has changed life as we know it. For everyone. The virus may have taken a lot from us but has also given the gift of taking time off from everyday hustle. Over the past year, some have utilized it fully - learning new skills, e-socializing, and keeping a close eye on health and fitness. Ross Mathews is one of them. The 'RuPaul's Drag Race' judge assessed his eating habits during the pandemic lockdown and educated himself on how to do it better.
Talking to Today, the comedian-TV presenter said he had been snacking during night time - a strict no for a healthy diet. His mother's death left him devastated, which prompted him to resort to 'grief pizzas' as his choice of comfort food. He would also binge on a bag of Doritos while watching '90 Day Fiance'.
But one fine day, he kicked his old habit of eating unhealthy and focused on getting a better diet and health regime. There was no fad diet involved, just simple and easy "ross-cipes." But, he didn't lose 50 pounds just by eating right. Ross did "tons of walking" when he moved to New York City recently. "There’s nothing scarier than the gym. I'd rather watch those awful Halloween movies over and over again. Yeah, the gym is not for me," he told the publication.
What is Ross's net worth?
Ross is at $2million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth, which is not surprising given the number of gigs he has landed over the years. He began his career almost two decades ago with 'Tonight Show with Jay Leno' and has since covered the Winter Olympics, the Academy Awards, and several other television programs.
Is Ross in a relationship?
Ross was dating Ryan Fogarty, LeAnn Rimes' former production assistant. Although his current status is not known. Last heard, Ross and Ryan were "getting serious" about their relationship. In 2019, an insider informed US Weekly that: "Ryan has been staying with Ross in Los Angeles. The couple like to visit karaoke bars and sing together — they have a lot in common. Their energies just click.” Before Ross and Ryan got together, the 'RPDR' regular was with Salvador Camarena, his boyfriend of 10 years.
