His followers were full of praise for his efforts and called him a ‘shredded beast.’

‘Reminds me actually, I need to buy a new cheese grater.’
And: ‘With that poster of @mcnaughty up on your wall, I can understand why your biceps are that muscular.’

Example married Erin in 2013 and they are parents to Evander, six and Ennio, three.
It’s likely that workout lover Erin has passed on some of her good habits to Example.
She Daily Mail Australia in 2018: ‘Working out for me, that 20 or 30 minutes a couple of times a week, it was like my church.
‘For me, after I had my baby, the workout aspect really was more for my own sanity.
‘You really sacrifice a lot of your own, everything, really. You are so relied upon on from these little humans that you barely have any time for yourself so working out… It was that time that I had that was completely and utterly mine and mine alone.’

In 2020, Example credited Erin with ‘saving his life’ after pushing life to the extreme with drink and drugs.
He told The Sun: ‘I wrote song [Some Nights Last For Days] for Erin three or four years ago on our anniversary.
‘I went to the studio with Johnny McDaid, who’s a good friend of mine and is in Snow Patrol. Then I came home and played it to Erin and her parents, who were visiting. We were hugging and crying because it was so personal.
He said Erin put him on the straight and narrow after doing ‘every drug under the sun’ when he first started out.
He said: ‘Erin saved me from an early death. I was partying too much back in the day.’
