Jillian Michaels Married Her Partner Deshanna Marie Minuto Three Times

Fitness trainer Jillian Michaels got engaged back in November 2021. Jillian shared the exciting news with fans on Instagram, alongside a short but sweet caption.

The then-47-year-old had been seeing 36-year-old DeShanna Marie Minuto for 1153 days, per the caption beneath a photo of the couple. We couldn't help but notice an impressive ring on DeShanna's left hand.

Jillian and DeShanna had been partners since 2018 by the time the fitness guru popped the question with a ring she helped design.

"DeShanna is 'all the things' — beautiful, smart, funny, creative, quirky, passionate ... I could run down the list of adjectives," said Jillian to People.

The couple exchanged vows three times. Here's what we know about their relationship.

Jillian and DeShanna exchanged vows for the first time on July 11, 2022, at a courthouse in Miami, surrounded by a small group of friends and family.

Later that year, the couple traveled to Namibia in Southern Africa for a second, equally intimate ceremony.

Jillian and DeShanna got married a third time in Venice, Italy, an event which spanned three days.

"DeShanna comes from a very big Italian family, and it's her favorite country in the world," Jillian told People. "She planned the entire thing."

Guests kicked off the fun with a sunset welcome dinner at the Belmond Cipriani. The next night, Jillian and DeShanna said I do in front of 50 guests before a cocktail hour and delicious dinner. The evening ended with a masquerade after-party.

Prior to meeting DeShanna, Jillian didn't think she would ever get married. It seemed impossible.

"I just didn't believe that there was a human I could do that with until DeShanna," she explained. "What made me believe it, and her more than anything, is truly what we've been through and the quality of her character, her strength, her empathy, and her intelligence."

DeShanna says Jillian is her best friend, and her rock. "She has this insatiable desire to learn and that's really been such an amazing thing for me and for us as a couple just to grow together."

While Jillian hasn't shared too many details about her relationship with DeShanna, we do know that they train together. However, DeShanna wasn't always a fan of Jillian's workouts.

"I gave her a little routine and she was like, 'I can't walk, I've been zombified, I hate you,' and then, over a couple of weeks … she's like, 'I just ran my mile in seven minutes and 15 seconds,'" Jillian told People in 2020.

According to the couple's Instagram accounts, they've also done quite a bit of traveling together. Since beginning their relationship in 2018, they've traveled to Japan, Belize, and Spain together.

DeShanna not only became Jillian's wife, but she also earned another new title: stepmom to Jillian's children.

In 2018, Jillian parted ways with her longtime partner, Heidi Rhoades, with whom she shares two children.

Jillian and Heidi were together for nine years. Little is known about Heidi, other than that she previously worked as a music manager.

Jillian and Heidi continue to co-parent their daughter, Lukensia, and son, Phoenix, together.

In 2012, they welcomed both children within the same month. At the time, Heidi was pregnant with Phoenix. After Heidi went into labor, Jillian got word that it was time for her to go to Haiti to adopt her then 2-year-old daughter, Lukensia.

"I'm like, 'Oh, OK!' " Jillian recalled to People, noting that she had to get to Haiti "ASAP."

Despite being together for nearly a decade, Jillian and Heidi never actually got married. In 2015, Jillian confirmed this to Health and explained that they were "domestic partners who co-adopted each other's kids."

In 2016, fans were beginning to think that there was a happily ever after for the pair when Jillian proposed to Heidi during the finale of her television show, Just Jillian. Unfortunately, the ladies never made it to the altar and broke up two years later.

Jillian quickly moved on to DeShanna.
