Jillian Michaels

Jillian Michaels is a celebrity fitness trainer whose appearance in The Biggest Loser led to her fame. She later starred in The Doctors and the reality show Just Jillian. Michaels also ventured into businesses to make good use of her investment money. Michaels came up with her own fitness app called Jillian Michaels: The Fitness App as well as a fitness video website, Fitfusion.com, that features collections of workout routines from several top fitness trainers. As Michaels’s career sailed steady, her relationship and family life met a bumpy road in 2018.

Jillian Michaels announced her separation from longtime partner Heidi Rhoades in 2018 after being together since 2009. The couple has two kids, Lukensia and Phoenix. The couple adopted Lukensia in 2012 in Haiti when she was just two years old, and subsequently, Rhoades gave birth to Phoenix in May 2012. As the rulings of the court favored Rhoades to have more time with the kids, Michaels was ordered to provide spousal support for Rhoades and the kids. Despite their separation and different family setup, Michaels makes sure that her children know that they are loved.
