Elle King reflects on her two-year postpartum journey and how she created a healthier version of herself.
In 2021, the daughter of Rob Schneider and her husband, Daniel Tooker, had a son, Lucky Levi Tooker. Although motherhood has been a joy for the entertainer, she has had her fair share of down times.
She recently recalled experiencing depression while pregnant while keeping it up with her fans.
Elle King Gets Candid About Her Postpartum Health Journey
On Wednesday, the Grammy-nominated entertainer opened up about what pregnancy and postpartum have been like with a post on Instagram. The upload featured a clip showing the singer’s daily routine. She started by doing skin care and then underwent singing training. Afterwards, King engages in exercises, including squats and leg lifts.

In the caption of the post, King detailed her struggles with her health after giving birth. “Almost 2 years postpartum!” King began the caption. “I’m making this post to share my journey from 284 lbs at 5’3 from pregnancy 2021 – now 2023. It didn’t happen overnight. It hasn’t happened in a year for me. In fact, it is an ongoing thing that is still working towards an ever-changing goal.”
She went on to tell fans that the reason she’s sharing is to let people know how physical health also affects mental health. In her words, “So why am I sharing this? I fell into a very deep depression during my pregnancy. I also didn’t realize how bad my postpartum depression was until I slowly started to crawl out. I felt trapped in my body. I can’t even sing.”
The Billboard chart singer later detailed how she got out of her depressed phase, saying she started exercising and made it a habit. And for others going through the same stage, King encourages, “Find the music you love! Riding a bike! Go swimming!
In the final part of his message, the entertainer admitted that he is not perfect, but he is healthy, adding that he does not use any weight loss drugs. “Some days, I count stretch marks. Some days, I hug myself and thank my body. Today is a good day. I’m small, I’m big, BUT NOW I’M HEALTHY.”
The “Can’t Break My Heart” singer welcomed her son in 2021 after two miscarriages. She made her baby announcement via her Instagram with a picture showing her and her lover hugging their son.
She captioned it, “So proud to announce the birth of our son, Lucky Levi Tooker. On Wednesday, September 1st at 12:06 pm, we welcomed 8 lbs., 1 oz. absolute joy and love of the earth.”
‘Ex’s & Oh’s’ Singer Talks About Motherhood And Her Partner Daniel Tooker
Earlier in the year, the “America’s Sweetheart” singer talked about fulfilling her dream of being a mother while talking about her lover.
“I am a mother. That’s all I want,” the songwriter told People Magazine. “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through, but I’m stronger than that. I shouldn’t have children with anyone but Daniel. I looked at him like, ‘Thank God, you did it; you have a child with a good man.’”
The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer reflected on falling in love with her husband in 2019. “There was this electric thing that I never felt before,” King recalled. “We hung out, laughed, then he tattooed me, and I posted a picture and said, ‘Getting tattooed by my next ex-husband.’ We’ve been in love ever since.”
In the interview, the musical genius recalls the past and how he battled failed romances and turned to drugs. “I’m wild. I also had a lot of injuries. I don’t know any other way to get through it than to distract myself and party.”
In 2016, she secretly married Andrew Ferguson, and they divorced a year later after Ferguson was allegedly charged with domestic violence. After the hiatus, the Rock n’ Roll star struggled with depression and PTSD, causing him to turn to drugs and alcohol to cope.

Regardless of the past phase, King now enjoys a peaceful life with her young son and husband, doing little things to brighten her life. “I decorate every nook and cranny of the house, and I make it really comfortable,” he says. “Every morning, we listen to Stevie Wonder records and dance. Country rock and roll is super badass. I would give up everything for my family — but I don’t have to.”
He solemnly concluded, “I’ve always dreamed of having my baby and my partner on a bus, traveling the world and making great music, and now it’s my everyday life. I have everything I want.”
