Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the mum-of-one confessed that the past month has been the “toughest” of her life.
“The last month has been the toughest time of my life,” she wrote, alongside a photo of herself in a baseball cap looking out to the ocean.
“What I’d like to say is thank you – to my loved ones, my friends, my team, and to all who have reached out to me.
“I have received so many messages of kindness from both strangers and people I know.
“The biggest thank you to you all. I know the remorse and guilt won’t go away, but I’m determined to keep moving forward, working hard and being thankful for all the good in my life. Mish x”
Michelle’s post comes as she faces further personal heartache after it was revealed ex-partner Steve ‘Commando’ Willis has moved on with a new woman.
Despite holding out hope that the pair can work through their problems, a new report from New Idea states that Steve has already moved on with one of his personal training clients.
‘Commando’ has been enjoying cosy dates and intimate nights in with F45 gym trainer Harika Vancuylenberg, who caught his eye after attending his fitness retreat in Tahiti in November, where friends say the chemistry was “undeniable,” the publication states.
On returning to Sydney, the pair kept in touch, passionately reuniting once father-of-four, Steve was officially single.
News of Steve’s romance comes as Michelle was last week handed a three-month driving ban and a $750 fine after pleading guilty to mid-range drink-driving while her child was in the car on Australia Day. She will also have to drive with an alcohol interlock for one year.
And while Michelle was holding out hope for a reconciliation with Steve – who split with his ex, Froso shortly before confirming his relationship with Michelle – it looks like the fitness star is smitten with his new lady.
Spending Valentine’s Day with Steve, Harika was “giddy with excitement and glowing”, looking forward to their hot date at her place, according to New Idea.
“She was really tired the morning after,” laughs the friend. “She didn’t give away too many details, but it seemed things went as expected.”
