Is Ozempic behind Don Lemon’s ‘30-pound’ weight loss? Ex-CNN anchor shows off leaner physique

This Lemon doesn’t need to squeeze — Don Lemon is sliding into slimmer slacks these days.

We hear that the former CNN anchor has been telling pals he’s dropped 30 pounds — and he was showing off his newly trimmed physique in St. Barts during Thanksgiving, as well as at a snazzy party over the weekend.

Some say that Lemon has told pals his weight loss is thanks to Ozempic, but another source acknowledged he has been on a health kick for a while.

A rep for the anchor was dismissive of the Ozempic claim and didn’t dignify a response.

Lemon posted shirtless pics from his vacay last month with fiancé Tim Malone featuring the caption, “Our traditional St. Barths Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving trip.”

The ex-morning show host was then spotted back in NYC on Friday at a birthday party for “Sex and the City” author Candace Bushnell at the home of skin care guru Peter Thomas Roth.

A spy told us, “Don was showing off his new slim figure. He’s lost 25 to 30 pounds. Don told friends he’d lost 30 pounds . . . People walked right by him and it was only when he said, ‘Hello,’ did people realize who he was.”

The source added: “He had to go up to people and introduce himself.”

Another source said that Lemon, 57, was telling guests at the party he was on the wonder weight loss drug Ozempic — but they said it was unclear if he was joking.

But a friend of Lemon’s told us he’s just been healthy and happy.

The former “CNN This Morning” co-host previously was “stunned” when he was fired in April by then-CEO Chris Licht, who wound up being ousted himself months later.

Lemon was seen with his fiancé Tim Malone at a swanky party.

Licht also had his own dramatic weight loss, which sources had told us was helped by Ozempic.

Lemon said at the time, “After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly… At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear there are some larger issues at play.”

Lemon told Page Six soon after his exit of his plans: “I’m going to enjoy my summer, spend it on the beach and have a great time. That’s it.” He seems to have taken the mission seriously, including working on his beach bod!
