Michelle Bridges' candid admission on being a single mum
Michelle Bridges has spoken candidly about the challenges of being a single parent to her seven-year-old son Axel.
The former Biggest Loser trainer described her son, who she shared with ex-partner and fellow celebrity trainer Steve Willis, as a "confident" little boy.
While Bridges was doing radio interviews about a new project, Axel joined in on the fun.
The 52-year-old told 9Honey, "He's just like a little man now, we have good conversations and he's got a really good sense of humour."
"He went into that radio station this morning, just jumped on the microphone, started singing and was answering the phone."
Bridges said she has purposefully organised her everyday life to be present in her young son's life.
"I've kind of engineered my life this way to be able to take him to school and pick him up pretty much every single day," she says.
She went on to say her and Axel are "two peas in a pod", while admitting it has been difficult to raise Axel as a single parent.
"We're a team and we're very close, extremely close. And yes, it can be challenging and you do need to sometimes rely on other people to help you out," she explains.
"I don't have family in Sydney but I have basically my best friend who's like my brother, and they are super tight."
"It does take a bit of a village if you've got one great if you haven't you sometimes need to really find it."
