Notoriously tough Biggest Loser coach Jillian Michaels told Ladies' Home Journal she would be glad to be in a healthy relationship with anyone, male or female.
“Let’s just say I believe in healthy love,” Michaels told writer Judith Newman. “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!”
According to AfterEllen.com, Michaels has been seen getting cozy with Las Vegas actress Vanessa Marcil, though the press has described them as "best friends."
Appearing on the cover of LHJ's February issue, Michaels discusses her past as an overweight teen, her martial arts training, and how she uses it to intimidate some of the more reluctant contestants.
"Sometimes I need to intimidate a person, and then they do what I ask, and when they see they can be successful it is the most amazing experience for them," she said. "I can use techniques they have used to program themselves for destruction and program them for success."
