Jillian Michaels is a mom x2!

Yesterday I wrote about Jillian Michaels' daughter, but now there's more news! The former The Biggest Loser trainer did not only adopt a 2-year old daughter from Haiti. Jillian's girlfriend, Heidi Rhoades, has given birth to a son too! So now Jillian is a mom to toddler Lukensia and son Phoenix.

Jillian told People Magazine about her two year journey to adopt from Haiti and that Heidi gave birth to baby boy Phoenix the same week that she was able to bring Lukensia home. "We're swimming in babies over here." The family went from two to four in a matter of a week, but it's been great, "I don't even answer email. I don't have time to care about anything else. I want to be really present and enjoy all the nuances of their growth and development. I don't want to rush any of it."

Meet Jillian Michaels' daughter

Jillian Michaels has talked about the waiting game that is an adoption procedure before. Last year, she quit working on The Biggest Loser in order to focus on motherhood. In May 2011, she said, "The paperwork is done, and now it's just a waiting game. It could be six months, twelve months; it could be two years. Or it could be tomorrow!" Then last January she was matched to a child, "I've been matched with a little girl. I went over to visit orphanages and I ended up falling in love with this little girl, and by the grace of God, I got matched up with her." And now Jillian has picked up her daughter and has given her a home. Yesterday, the fitness trainer, 38, was spotted out and about with her daughter for the first time. The adorable little girl, whose name hasn't been released, can be seen being kissed and cuddled by Jillian, as well as exploring Malibu. Cute!
