In 2010 fitness expert Jillian Michaels announced that she was leaving the hit NBC television show Biggest Loser to focus on starting a family.
Michaels visited an orphanage in Haiti in search of a child. She told Access Hollywood, “I ended up falling in love with this little girl, and by the grace of God, I got matched up with her.”
The adoption isn’t a done deal yet and Jillian knows there will likely be challenges involved in the process: “I now have to get her home…it could take up to a year to get her home. Anything can happen and fall through or fall apart, so it’s kind of premature for me to say it, but that’s where it’s at.”
She said emphatically that if things don’t go as planned “you’ll know why I’m devastated and not coming out of my house for months.”
