Jillian Michaels Opens Up About Her Sexuality to Health magazine

Jillian Michaels still struggles to talk openly about her sexuality. She identifies as pansexual and is in a relationship with her partner Heidi Rhoades. They have two children together. She told Health in the November 2014 issue:

“I don’t know that I am [comfortable talking about being gay] now, to be honest with you. The gay thing has always been hard for me. When Heidi and I are out and somebody older asks, ‘Are you sisters?’ I say, ‘We’re friends.’ I guess it comes from thinking that they will be shocked or disturbed. Look, I wish I had some strapping football player husband. It would be such a dream to be ‘normal’ like that, but I’m just not.”

She opened up in an interview with Ladies Home Journal. She talked about believing in “healthy love”.

“Let’s just say I believe in healthy love. If I fall in love with a woman, that’s awesome. If I fall in love with a man, that’s awesome. As long as you fall in love… it’s like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!”

She has been with her partner, Heidi Rhoades for over 5 years. Rhoades and Michaels adopted a baby girl from Haiti only two weeks after Rhoades gave birth to a baby boy.
