According to Yahoo, Deshanna is Jillian's first serious girlfriend since her split from Heidi Rhodes, to whom she was previously engaged. 

"The longtime couple got engaged during an episode of Michaels’ E! reality show Just Jillian in 2016, after the fitness guru popped the question in a private movie theater. Michaels had already given Rhoades a ring, so she instead placed an engagement ring on her own finger during the proposal," they wrote.
