THE rarely-seen Teen Mom star Dakota Meyer has shown off his lean physique in a new photo.

The Teen Mom OG alum appeared slender but with plenty of bulk in his family snapshot.

In the Instagram photo, the former MTV star wore gray shorts to tease his strong legs and donned a short-sleeved shirt to display his tattooed arm. 

Dakota, 34, smiled at the camera while posing with fiancee Lauren Fordyce and his daughters: Atlee, four, and Sailor, six.

He captioned the post: “I’m the luckiest man on earth…the picture says the rest.”

The MTV dad shares his little ones with his ex-wife Bristol Palin, 31.

‘WIN THE DAY’

Dakota’s new lean look came about as he hit the gym and got into shape.

He shared the results of his intense workout in a recent video.

Lauren’s fiancé appeared sweaty and fit while sporting a soaked blue T-shirt.

In the short clip, he mentioned watching a sports competition and seeing a struggling man who said: “I quit.”  

Dakota realized he worked out so hard because he wanted to tell an inspirational story so that others would not give up.

The reality star captioned his post: “WORK. Win the day, win the week. One percent better every day. Keep owning it!”

Fans jumped to the comments section after noticing the TV star’s physical transformation.

One fan noted: “Can tell how much you have progressed face is looking thin?”

Another fan commented: “Your evolution has been amazing to watch. Your mental, emotional, and physical change is incredible. Keep up the good work.”

HIS TEEN MOM PAST

Dakota is known for his on-again/off-again relationship with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter.

Their relationship drama played out on the MTV program when Bristol replaced original cast member Farrah Abraham in 2018.

Her reality TV career came to an end when she quit the show the following season.

After calling off their engagement in May 2015, Bristol announced her pregnancy with their first child, Sailor.

After the Teen Mom stars married in May 2016, the former couple welcomed their second child, Atlee, the following year.

Unfortunately, the marriage did not last as the exes parted ways for good two years later.

In May 2021, Dakota admitted to his wrongdoings during their marriage and blamed himself for the divorce.

The TV personality praised his former partner for how she raised their two girls.

In addition to Sailor and Atlee, Bristol is also the mother of her 13-year-old son, Tripp, who she shares with her ex, Levi Johnston.
