Who are Jillian Michaels parents?
Douglas McKarus (father)
Date of birth: November 2, 1944
Jillian is not very close with her father, named Douglas Grant Mckarus. She didn’t see him very often after his divorce from her mom, Jo McKarus.
Douglas is a lawyer. He was educated at the University of California, and then he got Juris Doctor Degree at Loyola Marymount University. He became a reputable famous lawyer. Jillian liked to spend time with her dad. But later she confessed that their connection was based on their passion for food – very often they had pizza and other junk food, which made both overweight.
Jillian’s father was raised in Los Angeles, CA. He is the son of Roger and Nellie McKarus. He grew up with two brothers and a sister.
JoAnn McKarus (mother)
Her parents divorced when Jillian was just 13 years old. After that she became unruly, and her mom, JoAnn Saldi-McKarus put lots of effort to help her daughter put herself together. She took Michaels to martial arts classes to channel her energy in the right direction. Thus, she gradually lost her weight (she was quite a chubby child) and fell in love with sports.
Currently, JoAnn lives in Los Angeles. She is a practicing psychotherapist. She divorced her husband Douglas G. McKarus after 18 years of marriage.
