Since making her debut on The Biggest Loser in 2007, Michelle Bridges has risen to fame as one of Australia’s most well-known television figures.
No stranger to the world of reality television, the 53-year-old has appeared on fan favourite programmes such as Celebrity MasterChef, Dancing with the Stars, and The Celebrity Apprentice.
Now, after four years away from our screens, Michelle has returned to conquer yet another reality show as part of the star-studded cast of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
As an esteemed fitness trainer, it’s no surprise that Michelle has been able to overcome some of the jungle’s most intense physical challenges to date.
As she continues to tackle the world of I’m a Celebrity Australia, fans have begun to grow more curious about Michelle’s life outside of camp.
Is Michelle Bridges married?
Speaking to WHO in March 2024, Michelle revealed that she is “consciously single.”
“I just feel very independent and I really like it, and no, I’m not looking for love. At all. I haven’t been able to date in four and a half years. I’m good with that,” Michelle shared, adding that she has been focusing her energy on both her son and herself.
“I feel empowered by being independent. It’s the longest I’ve been on my own, and I don’t plan on changing that any time soon.”
Who has Michelle Bridges been married to?
Steve Willis (2013 – 2020)
Michelle Bridges was most recently in a relationship with her fellow Biggest Loser trainer Steve ‘Commando’ Willis.
The couple first crossed paths while working together on The Biggest Loser Australia. Shortly after both Michelle and Steve announced their splits from their respective partners, the couple confirmed their relationship, debuting their new romance on the red carpet in May 2013.
Two years later, the couple confirmed that they were expecting their first child together, welcoming their son Axel on December 19, 2015.
Following her drink-driving charge in January 2020, Michelle confirmed in a statement to The Daily Telegraph that the couple had parted ways after seven years together.
“It has been a very difficult time for me the last few weeks dealing with the break-up of my long-term relationship. This is by no means an excuse for my behaviour, but I feel the emotional turmoil I have been going through has impacted my decision-making.”
Bill Moore (2003 – 2013)
Prior to her long-term relationship with Commando Steve Willis, Michelle was previously married to fitness trainer Bill Moore.
Reflecting on the end of their marriage, Bill told Australian Story in 2016, “It was a very difficult time… I felt like I didn’t want to leave the relationship. I didn’t want it to end but Michelle, for her, she wasn’t in the same space.”
Bill, who became Michelle’s business manager shortly after the couple’s nuptials, also shared that the couple’s relationship was heavily impacted by their business relationship, with Bill sharing, “We probably both chose business over the relationship.”
Echoing her ex-husband’s sentiments, Michelle shared, “We both ended up feeling like we were living with our business partners. Bill and I spoke about it for a good 18 months before I decided finally to separate.”
