She married Coast Guard lieutenant Clay Pell in 2013 and he filed for divorce in 2017. The final judgement was filed in Rhode Island in October of that year and the case is closed, according to the docket obtained by E! News.
Michelle ended her note by sending her love to fellow moms, shouting out “anyone trying to conceive in any which way (ivf, iui, surrogacy, adoption and naturally)” and wishing them “all the success and love.” She added, “You’re not alone on this path and I’m pulling for you.”
Michelle, who won an Olympic silver medal in 1998 and bronze in 2002, recently spoke with E! News about her time at the competition.
“I stress out even thinking about what the athletes are going through!” she said last summer ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “It’s such an emotional, two week experience because you envision this since you were a baby.
