Is Abby Lee Miller married? 'Dance Moms: Epic Showdowns' star faked her relationship twice
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Dance Moms' star Abby Lee Miller has dedicated her life to coaching young dancers, who consider the choreographer a mother figure. She garnered fame through starring in the Lifetime series and has also been entangled in controversy, served time in prison, and most recently, faced a diagnosis of cancer.
Abby has dedicated her entire life to the dance studio and remained unmarried. However, the Lifetime show alum did fake an engagement for her mother, Maryen Lorrain Miller. In January 2014, the dance instructor shared a cozy photo with actor Michael Padula, captioning it, 'I do!!!'
However, Abby later revealed that she faked the entire relationship so that her mother could die in peace knowing that her daughter was loved. 'Dance Moms' alum's mother died from colon cancer in 2014. Abby faked her relationship a second time with Jordan "Jordy" Rodriguez but this time for the Lifetime show.
She introduced Jordan on 'Dance Moms' Season 7, Episode 16, and showcased their staged chemistry to the world. However, the fake relationship ended shortly after the episode premiered, with Jordan confessing that they were just friends
