Jillian Michaels and DeShanna Marie Minuto tied the knot — again — at a lavish ceremony held in Italy.
The fitness guru, 49, and Minuto, 38, celebrated their latest wedding at the Aman hotel on the Grand Canal in Venice on Saturday, June 24. “DeShanna comes from a very big Italian family and it’s her favorite country in the world,” Michaels told People of the couple’s latest nuptials. “She planned the entire thing.”
During a Friday, June 23, welcome event at the Belmond Cipriani, both brides wore Dolce & Gabbana for a sunset dinner where guests arrived by boat. One day later, the duo exchanged vows in front of 50 guests, with Minuto wearing a traditional white wedding gown designed by Zuhair Murad. Michaels, for her part, opted for a glittering black dress by the same designer.
After the ceremony and reception, the twosome and their guests traveled by boat to the Chiesetta della Misericordia, a church that was converted into a nightclub for a masquerade-themed afterparty. The soirée — which featured a performance by acrobats — went on late into the night and involved plenty of dancing.
“It’s a dream come true,” Michaels said of her relationship with Minuto. “It’s us two against the world. No matter what, we have each other, we have each other’s backs.”
Michaels and Minuto got engaged in November 2021 after more than two years of dating. “1153 days … here’s to thousands more. She said ‘yes’ ❤️,” Michaels wrote via Instagram at the time. Minuto, for her part, shared a photo of her engagement ring, adding the caption, “YES!
