Michelle Bridges, 49, is trying to get some normality back in her life following her split from Steve ‘Commando’ Willis, 43, and being caught drink driving last month.
And it appears the celebrity trainer was doing her best to stick to routine on Monday, as she doted over her son Axel during the school drop-off in Sydney’s Rose Bay.
Amid reports her ex has already moved on with a new girlfriend, the mother put on a brave face as she held her five-year-old son close to her chest.

Michelle and Steve met while filming The Biggest Loser in 2007, at a time when they were both in relationships with other people.
They began dating in 2015, after splitting from their respective partners, and welcomed Axel in December that year.
Not dressed in her usual activewear ensembles, Michelle went for a casual black T-shirt and jeans look.
She couldn’t help but smile while holding her only child, picking him up in her strong arms for a sweet cuddle before saying goodbye.
Michelle appeared to opt for a minimal makeup application, and left her brunette locks down in a sleek-straight style.
She completed her casual look with a wristwatch, necklace, sunglasses and a designer handbag.

Michelle confirmed her split from Steve last month, after she had been caught drink driving on Australia Day.
While describing her actions as ‘inexcusable’, she revealed in the wake of her arrest that she had been dealing with ’emotional turmoil’ following her break-up with Steve.
Michelle was fined $750 and had her licence disqualified for three months after pleading guilty to mid-range drink driving last Tuesday.

The former Biggest Loser trainer blew 0.086 when she was pulled over in her Range Rover at about 11.25am on Australia Day.
Outside court, a tearful Michelle said: ‘I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep remorse, shame and humiliation [over] this incident and extreme lack of judgement.’
With no car keys in sight, it’s believed Michelle had a friend helping her with the school run or the pair walked or took an Uber/Taxi to the school.
