It hasn’t been the easiest of years for Michelle Bridges, who was charged with mid-range drink-driving earlier this year, just weeks after it was revealed she had quietly parted ways from her former The Biggest Loser co-star partner Steve “Commando” Willis.
However, the 49-year-old has managed to soldier on for the sake of her and Steve’s four-year-old son Axel. Now, Woman’s Day can reveal there’s a special somebody bringing a smile to Michelle’s face!
Her close companion and co-worker Todd Liubinskas, 36, has been filling a void in the personal trainer’s life, bringing her a newfound sense of happiness and stability.
Just like her former flame, Todd is a hunky fitness director and leads very active lifestyle in Sydney. The duo are believed to have known each other since 2016, with Todd also being acquainted with Steve.
A quick sweep of Michelle’s social media sees Todd affectionately referring to the TV star as “Mishy” and joking that they are “one team, one dream”, while the mother-of-one frequently likes Todd’s photos and calls him “one of Australia’s best trainers”.
Todd is an ambassador for Michelle’s sought-after fitness program, which has seen the couple spending time together, both face-to-face and virtually.
Over the past few weeks Michelle and Todd have posted a stream of fitness tip videos and workouts flaunting their fit physiques and undeniable chemistry, with some fans even commenting that Todd is Steve’s double!
Steve flaunts his new fling
He remained tightlipped when asked about his love-life, but Steve Willis appears to have a new flame!
Stepping out in Sydney last week, the 43-year-old was holding hands with fitness instructor Harika Vancuylenberg.
The pair are believed to have met at Steve’s fitness retreat in Tahiti last November. Mum-of-two Harika gushed over Steve on social media after meeting him, with a friend who was also there writing on Instagram, “Highlight of the trip; Commando in swimming briefs.”
Harika cheekily replied, “Especially when they’re panda ones.”
