Michaels has two children with her ex-fiancée Heidi Rhoades. Michaels adopted their then-two-year-old daughter (Lukensia Michaels Rhoades) from Haiti in May 2012, and Rhoades gave birth to a son (Phoenix Michaels Rhoades) that same month. On her sexuality, Michaels has stated, "Let's just say I believe in healthy love. 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!" The couple announced the end of their relationship in June 2018.
