Amanda Bynes appears to be enjoying a happier chapter in her life as she continues to show off the results of her recent weight loss journey.

The former child star was spotted spending time with her boyfriend of one year, Zachary Khan, during a casual coffee run in Los Angeles.

Their affectionate outing comes as Amanda Bynes remains open about the changes she has made to her appearance as she continues exploring creative opportunities away from acting.

Amanda Bynes Shares A Sweet Moment With Khan During L.A. Coffee Run

Bynes and Khan appeared affectionate as they stepped out together in Los Angeles on Monday. As seen in photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the 40-year-old actress embraced her boyfriend while the pair stopped for coffee.

Bynes wore cropped pink trousers with ruffled detailing, a long-sleeved graphic white shirt and white Vans sneakers. She carried two Starbucks drinks while showing off her decorated nails and completed her casual appearance with brown sunglasses.

Khan kept things simple in an all-black outfit with dark sunglasses and a baseball cap. The couple began dating in September 2025, and sources previously told the publication that her “level-headed” boyfriend has brought Bynes “some stability.”

Their relationship has also occasionally appeared on her social media. On Valentine’s Day, Bynes shared a nighttime video of the pair driving through the city and accompanied it with the affectionate message, “love u zachary.”

The Former Actress Admitted To Using Ozempic For Weight Loss

Bynes’ slimmer appearance during the outing comes after she publicly discussed using medication to help with her weight loss. In December 2025, she revealed to her social media followers that she had been taking Ozempic.

The actress explained that she previously weighed 180 pounds before beginning her transformation. “I lost 28lbs on Ozempic!” she told followers, putting her weight at approximately 152 pounds at the time.

Her recent outing gave another glimpse at the physical changes she has made since beginning the GLP-1 medication. Bynes has continued experimenting with her appearance as well, frequently changing her hair and eyebrow colors over the past few years.

The weight loss also carries additional significance considering Bynes had previously spoken about difficulties managing her weight.

Amanda Bynes’ Weight Loss Struggles Were Previously Tied To Her Battle With Depression

Before revealing her use of Ozempic, Bynes had spoken about gaining weight while dealing with depression. In March 2024, she told her followers that her mental health had contributed to a gain of more than 20 pounds.

“I’ve gained over 20lbs in the past few months from being depressed,” Bynes wrote at the time, according to People Magazine. Rather than allowing the situation to discourage her further, she said she was trying to develop a healthier response to it.

“I’m doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don’t feel like working out or eating clean,” she explained. Bynes also revealed that she weighed 162 pounds at the time and hoped to eventually reach 110 pounds.

These comments showed that her more recent transformation followed a longer period of trying to find an approach that worked better for her health.

Amid the changes in her own life, Bynes recently reacted to the death of fellow former child star Hayden Panettiere. The actress died on August 16 at age 36 after being found at an Airbnb in Greenville, South Carolina.

Bynes shared a brief tribute on LinkedIn the following day. “Life can hit you hard, and fast,” she wrote. “What a horrible situation.”

Alongside her message, Bynes included screenshots from an older interview in which Panettiere had discussed the difficulties that came with becoming famous at a young age and dealing with the expectations placed on child stars.

Bynes understands some of those pressures firsthand, having found fame at an early age. Her acting career eventually came to an end as she faced a difficult period in her personal life that included challenges with her mental health and substance use.

Amanda Bynes Is Building A New Life Beyond Hollywood

Years after walking away from acting, Bynes is now channeling much of her creativity into fashion. She studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles for several years and earned an associate degree in merchandise product development in 2019.

She is now putting that education into practice through her New York $peed handbag brand. Rather than simply attaching her name to the products, Bynes has spoken enthusiastically about taking part in the creative process.

“I am so excited about the whole production of it,” she said of the collection. “We are adding decals; we are using fabrics. It’s a whole vibe.”

Her interest in design had already surfaced through a 2024 collaboration with Austin Babbitt, also known as A-spizza, which incorporated Bynes’ original artwork into clothing. Her own handbag line has allowed her to take that interest further and develop products under a brand of her own.

Fashion is not her only creative outlet. Bynes returned to music in April 2026 with “Girlfriend,” her collaboration with Zabba and Fenix Flexin and her first new release in four years.

Between music and fashion, the former Nickelodeon star appears to be shaping a creative identity that exists separately from the Hollywood career that first made her famous.
