“Candice Michelle began her life with an unprecedented birth! Overcoming the odds she grew up in Milwaukee, WI where she was a true Cheesehead and Green Bay Packers fan. At 18 years old she followed her heart to Hollywood to pursue dreams of Modeling/Acting. She went on to become the first ever Diva search contestant to win the WWE Woman’s Championship! From there she landed a dream cover and posed for Playboy. She is also known for her infamous GoDaddy.com Super Bowl commercials. After a career ending injury she went on to become the mother to 3 beautiful daughters. Her family is her greatest claim to fame and being married for half of her life! While it takes a village to raise a child it took her children to resurrect her Champion! She has a gift of creating Champions, living her truth, and training her ass off. She is The Champ Candice Michelle!”
