if she’d had a chemical peel to rejuvenate her

looks. Days later, the fitness expert posted a

snap of her face looking noticeably taut and

wrinkle-free, prompting talk she’s also had

Botox and fillers. Michelle has never

confirmed she’s gone under the

knife but says, “I’m a fan of

anything that makes a person

feel good about themselves and

more confident.”

star buying her company back

in late 2018, and finally getting

the control and freedom she

had longed for after six months

of steering the business away

from a “lonely, ugly, closed

minded place”.

BUSINESS BREAK-UP

Curiously, Michelle, 48, took

down the post, which had some

wondering who exactly it was

directed at. She has always

maintained her relationship

with her ex-husband and former

business partner Bill Moore –

who she met at a Balmain gym

• was amicable and they had
  remained “great friends” after
  their split.
  Michelle and Bill, who has
  since remarried, were believed

fitness DVDs, fitness apparel

and accessories, equipment,

an Xbox game, kitchenware and

pre-packaged food.

But the success came at a cost.

Michelle has made no secret of

what she sacrificed, revealing

last year that she knew the

marriage was over when she

began scheduling business

meetings in bed.

ROCKY RELATIONSHIP

Now, with continued reports

that her relationship with

long-time partner Steve “The

Commando” Willis is on rocky

ground, friends are worried their

various work commitments

could be causing strain.

“First Steve did Survivor and

was away for months on end in

Samoa, and then Michelle did

Dancing With The Stars, which

is intense,” says a source. “Now

Steve is in Albury and is training

for an ironman event with his

Survivor mate Mat Rogers in

Queensland. He and Michelle

just need to have a chance to

reconnect in the same postcode.”

Last week, Commando posted

a cryptic message about change

coming from a “place of shame

or guilt”.

Despite the rumours, it’s clear

Michelle still loves her man,

gushing on Instagram how

proud she is of him, “What I love

about this man is he is his word.

He’s not doing anything other

than helping people.”

But she did admit the couple

are in dire need of a holiday,

posting how excited she is that

they have one on the horizon.

“This trip will be the first true

holiday we’ve had in what seems

like forever... Just us,” she wrote.

to have severed their business

partnership 18 months after the

marriage breakdown in 2013.

“At the end of last year

I personally bought out my own

company,” she wrote in the post.

“I now, finally, have full

control. In the last 6 months we

have become again, who we’ve

always been... a force – of love,

being real, giving back,

empathy... and NO LONGER

about the bottom line.”

At its height, the Michelle

Bridges business brand grew

into a $60 million dollar empire

with her ex Bill, the business

brains, by her side. By 2015,

she was named as one of the

top 30 wealthiest women
