‘It’s us two against the world!’: Jillian Michaels marries DeShanna Marie Minuto for a THIRD time during a three-day celebration in Italy
Jillian Michaels exchanged wedding vows with her wife DeShanna Marie Minuto for a third time in front of 50 of their closest loved ones on Saturday at the Aman hotel in Venice, Italy.
The lovebirds’ walk down the aisle followed a extravagant welcome dinner at sunset at the Belmond Cipriani.
Both brides wore Dolce and Gabbana and enjoyed sweeping views of the Venetian lagoon, where guests arrived by boat ahead of their three-course dinner.
During their beautiful ceremony, the fitness expert, 49, became overwhelmed with emotion as she admitted to her spouse and attendees that she didn’t think she ‘was going to cry!’
While speaking about her partner, Michaels said the fashion designer was beautiful, funny and creative.
‘All that shiny stuff in the beginning doesn’t last. So what makes you say to yourself, ‘I want to walk alongside this human for the rest of my life,’ the celebrity trainer raved.
She continued: ‘And I take that really seriously. I’m 49. I’ve never married anyone. I just didn’t believe that there was a human I could do that with until DeShanna.’

Last year, the duo tied the knot during a private ceremony, which took place in Namibia.
The lovers – who have been romantically linked since late 2018 – first got married at a Miami courthouse on July 11 before traveling to Namibia for the intimate ceremony.
Jillian and DeShanna documented their epic wedding trip on social media as they enjoyed riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in the desert and even danced with the locals.
The happy couple announced their engagement back in November, 2021.
The popular personal trainer proposed with a stunning seven-carat diamond engagement ring, and shared a few loved-up snaps to Instagram on the morning of November 21.

The fitness enthusiast reportedly popped the question to her girlfriend of three years on Saturday morning with an ’emerald cut diamond featuring two single carat, trapezoid diamonds on each side,’ according to PEOPLE.
Her bauble was crafted by family friends in Miami.
‘DeShanna is “all the things” — beautiful, smart, funny, creative, quirky, passionate … I could run down the list of adjectives. Those characteristics obviously attract you to someone. But it’s the quality of their character that makes you think “Thank God for this person laying next to me’ every night when you fall asleep,”‘ Michaels said.
‘It’s easy to stay together when everything is going great, but when real life sets in and things get messy, challenging, scary, and even downright ugly — that’s when the truth reveals itself.
