Jillian Michaels is adopting
Jillian Michaels is going to be a mom!
But no, she’s not pregnant! She’s adopting.
“I’d like to take a year off of television and really focus on — I’m in the middle of the adoption process — and really focus on that and hopefully becoming a mother in the next year and putting all my energy into that for a while.”
In December, she announced that she would be leaving The Biggest Loser to concentrate her efforts on starting a family.
“I want to start a family,” she told Access Hollywood.
The adoption process has been “an incredible undertaking,” the fitness trainer said.
“I’ve completed all of my paperwork; I’ve had all of my physicals; I’ve been checked by the FBI — you have no idea!” she laughs.
Now it’s just a matter of time before she gets that amazing phone call that will change her life forever.
“That could be anywhere from six months to a year. I’m in a pilot program for the Democratic Republic of Congo so we’ll see,” she says. “Then you get your referral and then you have to try to bring your kid back home.”
Does Michaels know whether she will be having a boy or a girl? It will be a surprise! Either way, she will welcome the child with open arms.
“I’m 36! Do you hear the clock? It doesn’t matter!” she explains. “As long as there’s a little teeny person with me, I’ll be good.”
