“Looking great is always the best revenge,” the reality star (who’s filming E!’s Revenge Body) has shared in a release about the show. Kardashian’s amazing transformation followed her December 2013 separation after four years of marriage from her estranged husband, Lamar Odom. In July 2015, she told Complex that the gym “was just a place where I felt like I could process my thoughts and think clear or just have a moment to myself.”

Hot mama! When longtime love Scott Disick got caught cheating, the Kardashian took her frustrations out at the gym. “I try to exercise five days a week. My anxiety is always worse in the mornings so that's when I schedule my workouts,” the mom of three shared on her blog in January 2016. “I usually start with a quick run or jumping rope to warm up. I have to do something fast to really kill [my anxiety]."

"There was a lot of arguing … that just weighed on our relationship over time."

Announcing the end of her seven-year marriage to Seal in January 2012, Klum renewed her vows with the "Kiss From a Rose" singer annually, but admitted to Good Housekeeping that the pair was far from perfect.

"Maybe when I'm 80, I'll be allowed to make it."
