Jillian Michaels adopts a baby, has a baby, and comes out, all in one week.  

Heidi Rhoades, Jillian Michaels and Babies

OMG!  She did it!   Her baby is finally home!   

After a lengthy multi-year adoption process, Jillian Michaels has officially announced that her adopted daughter, Lukensia, has been brought  "home" from the Congo.  And in a surprise twist, SO IS PHOENIX!   Phoenix, you ask?   Who is Phoenix?  Well, he's Heidi Rhoades' baby boy!   Who is Heidi Rhoades, you ask?   Who is Heidi?  Well, as many hard-core Jillian fans have long since speculated, it turns out, she is....Jillian's partner.

Yes. 

Partner!

FINALLY.  There it is.  In print.   In one oh-so-brief solitary sentence.  People magazine casually referencing Jillian's partner Heidi,

she’s doling out tickles and hugs to her 2-year-old daughter,Lukensia – whom she recently brought home from Haiti after a lengthy adoption process — and the newborn son, Phoenix, that partner Heidi Rhoades gave birth to 

Jillian Michaels & Heidi Rhoades Had Babies!

And a following sentence that refers to the kids as "theirs".

Theirs.

How sweet that must sound.  After so many years.   And while Heidi appears for but for a flash in the accompanying People video, she was in fact there.  She is real.  And I can only imagine how that must feel to the private couple.   New beginnings indeed. Congratulations Jill & Heidi!   Here's to your beautiful new life together, as a family.   You will surely be incredible Moms. 

Together.
