The Brooklyn nativerecently opened up about other aspects of her health, sharing with fans how “upsetting” it was to see aTikTok search suggestion reference her weightwhen she’s been dealing with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
“It’s definitely been something I’ve been struggling with, so I like being candid with my fans,” she told PEOPLE. “It’s like, ‘Yeah, I know I gained some weight, and I’m working on myself.’”
“I’m not completely happy with myself right now, but I feel like I’m working towards a better version of myself every day,” Rexha added. “Usually when you put an album out, you want to be in your best shape. I’m always trying to get to a point where I feel good in my body, and that’s a really hard thing to do.”
Rexha was diagnosed with PCOS, a hormone imbalance that can cause irregular periods, excess hair growth, weight gain and infertility, she told Gayle King in May.
“I definitely struggle with my weight and I struggle with the way that I look, and it’s been tough for me. I just found out recently thatI have PCOSand a lot of women have it. And a lot of women have it and don’t know,” Rexha said on SiriusXM’sGayle King in the House. “It’s tough. I think for me, I’ve been definitely struggling with my weight and I’ve been struggling with food forever.”
