Does Abby Lee Miller Have a Husband? The ‘Dance Moms’ Alum Appears to Be Single

Although Abby Lee Miller doesn’t have much of a romantic life, it remains a matter of public interest. The reality TV star has never married, but she once staged an engagement with an actor and was linked to a vegan model and musician during her time on “Dance Moms.”

Abby Lee Miller’s dance career began at a young age, growing up and training under her mother’s wing, late dance instructor Maryen Lorraine Miller. The longtime choreographer, an only child, inherited her mother’s flair for the art form and forged her own path into the dance industry.

By 15, she had established her own studio and began training what would become thousands of students. Today, she dons many hats alongside being an instructor, including author, businesswoman, and reality TV personality. In addition to her fame, Miller has built a reputation as one of the most beloved yet disliked dance instructors on TV.

Although she became a motherly figure for many students, she also had a complicated relationship with some of them. As fans witnessed these dynamics on her staple show “Dance Moms,” they wondered about Miller’s personal life, if it ever included a husband, children, or even former flames.

Abby Lee Miller Didn’t Meet Anyone Worthy

In 2017, Miller sat down with Entertainment Tonight and spoke about her relationship status, among other predicaments she was facing. She was single then and explained that she didn’t have a romantic partner because her standards were “too high.”

Still, she felt there was more than enough time to find love, adding, “I have really high standards and in my mind, I’m young — I’m like 22, 23, 24… that’s like the age.” The kind of man Miller desired was one who could take control and knew her needs without her having to ask, as she enlightened:

“You know, I make decisions all day, so it’s nice for a woman like me to go to dinner and have the man take the menu and say, ‘Let me order.’ Other women would be offended by that but I’m like, ‘Good. Because I can’t make one more decision today.'”

Abby Lee Was Engaged, but It Turned Out to Be Fake

In January 2014, Miller posted a photo of herself and actor Michael Padula in an embrace and captioned, “I do!!! @michael_padula.” Padula is known for his guest appearances on “The Blacklist,” co-led by James Spader and Megan Boone, “FBI: Most Wanted,” starring Kellan Lutz (married to Brittany Gonzalez), and the 2008 comedy film “Neurotica.”

In addition, Padula worked as a casting director and producer for a few other productions in the late 2000s. He never commented on his supposed engagement to Miller. Her mother had been terminally ill, passing away that year, and she later clarified that the stunt “was a comfort thing for her to know there was somebody.”

Abby Lee Had an On-Screen Romance Once

During a Season Seven episode of “Dance Moms,” model and musician Jordy made an appearance, carrying a large jar of vegan cookies for Miller’s students. Jordy had just released a single that Miller planned to use to train her girls. As the moms waited outside for their children, one of them said Jordy was Miller’s boyfriend.

This was after another mom commented on Miller trying to “impress” Jordy by bringing him on the show. The rapper seemed passionate about being vegan and his music as he explained to the girls that the cookies had no animal products.

He also encouraged them to dance their hearts out to his song (also about being vegan) as it was very close to his own. Although Jordy became known as Miller’s boyfriend, neither of the reported lovers ever spoke about their romance publicly. This episode aired about a year before Miller’s cancer diagnosis.
