Nothing is known about her parents and her childhood, and also Michelle hasn’t spoken about her educational background. It is assumed that she matriculated from high school, but since nothing is known about her occupation, many people believe that she didn’t go to college.
Marriage with Dennis Rodman
Michelle and Dennis met in a bar in early 1999, and the two soon began dating. Their first child, a son they named Dennis Junior was born on 25 April 2001, and their second child, daughter Trinity on 20 May 2002.
From her previous relationship, Michelle has a daughter named Teyana, who lived with her mother and her half-siblings in a luxury home in Newport Beach, California, while Dennis lived in another house in the same town, where Michelle and the kids would spend weekends with him.
Michelle and Dennis tied the knot on 13 May 2003, on Dennis’ 42nd birthday – the wedding ceremony was private, without luxury and pomp, in fact, it was an ordinary civil wedding, after which Michelle and the children continued living in their house.
Just a year later, Michelle filed for divorce, however, the two spent the next several years trying to reconcile, so in the end their divorce wasn’t finalized until 2012.

Where is she now?
Michelle withdrew from public life after the divorce, although she made an appearance in the reality shows “Sober House” and “Celebrity Rehab”, in which she spoke about Dennis’ problem with alcohol, so viewers concluded that one of the biggest reasons for their separation was his alcohol addiction.
Michelle has an Instagram account, and uses this platform to share the achievements of her and Dennis’ children, who both followed in their father’s footsteps and became athletes – Dennis Junior plays basketball, while Trinity is a soccer player.

According to sources, when the divorce between Michelle and Dennis was finalized, she claimed that he owed her over $800,000 in unpaid child support and over $50,000 in unpaid spousal support.

It’s known that during his career as a professional National Basketball Association (NBA) player, he made around $27 million.
Briefly about Dennis Rodman
Born Dennis Keith Rodman under the zodiac sign of Taurus on 13 May 1961, in Trenton, New Jersey USA, he holds American nationality, and comes from a family of African American descent. He was raised by his mother Shirley, alongside his two sisters, Kim and Debra; their father, Philander Rodman Junior, left the family when Dennis was a young boy, but according to Dennis, from his father’s side he has 46 sisters and brothers. He wrote about his childhood in his autobiography “Bad As I Wanna Be” released in 1996, saying that after his father left, his mother worked up to four jobs to support him and his sisters. They lived in Oak Cliffs, Dallas, Texas.
Dennis attended South Oak Cliff High School, and upon matriculating in 1979, he worked at Dallas Forth Worth International Airport as a janitor. He wasn’t considered an athletic standout, and although he was listed in his high school’s basketball team, he was mostly benched.
However, Dennis suddenly grew from 5ft 11ins (1.8m) to 6ft 7ins (2.01m), so decided to try-out basketball again. He enrolled at the North Central Texas College (previously Cooke County College), in Gainesville, Texas, spending a semester there playing basketball, and averaging 13.3 rebounds and 17.6 points per game.
He transferred to Southern Oklahoma State University, a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), where he was a three-time All-American. This helped him gain an invite to a pre-draft camp, the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, where he caught the attention of the Detroit Pistons.
Dennis was drafted by this NBA team in 1986, and stayed with the Pistons until 1993. From 1993 through 1995, he played for the San Antonio Spurs, and was then traded to the Chicago Bulls. In 1999, Dennis joined the Los Angeles Lakers, but played only 23 games.
In 2000, he signed for the Dallas Mavericks, but because of his erratic behavior, he received six technical fouls, served a one-game suspension, and was ejected twice. One of his colleagues, Steve Nash, commented that Dennis was unmotivated, because ‘he actually never wanted to be a Maverick’.
In the early 2000s, Dennis took a break from basketball to focus on his acting career. He made his acting debut in the 1995 TV series “Double Rush”, and has over 30 acting credits to his name. Some of his notable roles were in the movies “The Comebacks”, “Simon Sez”, and “Double Team”, among others.

Dennis returned to basketball playing for the Long Beach Jam of the American Basketball Association (2003-2004), and then for the Mexican team, Fuerza Regia (2004). In the following 2004-2005 season, Dennis signed with the Orange County Crush team of the ABA, and the following season, he played for the Tijuana Dragons.
His return to the NBA never materialized; in January 2006, he signed for the United Kingdom basketball team Brighton Bears of the British Basketball League (BBL), which was a one-game experiment deal.
Speaking of his personal life, he was married twice before he married Michelle. His first wife was a non-celebrity, Annie Bakes – their daughter Alexis Caitlyn was born in 1988, the two married in September 1992 after five years of dating. but Annie filed for divorce 82 days after the marriage.
His second wife was model and actress Carmen Electra, whose real name is Tara Leigh Patrick. The two married on 14 November 1998, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Just nine days later, Dennis filed for an annulment, but they reconciled. Electra eventually filed for divorce in April 1999 – they didn’t have children together.
Dennis has been romantically linked to celebrities such as Madonna and Vivica Fox, but as of early 2023, it seems that he’s unattached.
