Kevin Federline says Depression led to Overeating
Kevin Federline has opened up to Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos about his battle with depression, weight gain and his relationship with ex-wife Britney Spears.
Federline, who will next be seen as a contestant on VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp,” told Menounos that despite the rumors, he did not gain weight to secure a spot on the reality show.
“They called me and they asked me if I wanted to do it and I had maybe 24 hours to decide because the show started taping the next day after that weekend,” he said. “It just couldn’t have come at a better time.”
Married to pop star Britney Spears for two years, Federline revealed that depression played a big part in his overeating.
“Once you get depressed, you don’t really feel like doing anything. You’re kind of discouraged about yourself and then the weight gain too, or that makes me more depressed,” he said. “I mean, it’s a combination of all of those things.”
Federline admitted that his divorce from the pop princess in 2006 played a part in his depression.
