They became engaged during her 34th birthday party in 2017.

Though this will be Michelle and Patrick's first child together, it is the second for Michelle.

She has a 12-year-old daughter named Owen from her previous marriage to bassist Teddy Landau. The former couple tied the knot in 2004 before divorcing 10-years later in 2014.
