Michelle, who met and married her husband David in Central Park, New Jersey, in 1997.
Appearing on Origins’ Cush Jumbo podcast, Michael revealed: “I was 26 when I met David. I got married when I was 27 years old. He was still young.
We have been together for 28 years and I met him in New York City in Central Park when I got out of a relationship with the love of my life and he destroyed me.
After that, I went through a summer of abuse and then I met David in Central Park, and he was the complete opposite. He looked like my ex-fiancé, Michael.
Michael Visage has opened up about his open marriage to writer David Case and revealed that having sex with other men makes them stronger.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 56, who has two daughters with David, said their unconventional open marriage arrangement is what makes them strong.
'We live openly, so I'm very happy that no matter what I do, he'll know I'm not just talking about sex. Whatever it is, I don't know if I have the compassion to get excited if he does something with another girl, but I know it's there and he's 100% that.
'Total transparency of the way we live. Absolutely, and by the way, sometimes it's not even necessary.
'I mean, we don't do anything. He is only capable of doing it. […] “That’s what works for us.”
Michael admits he thought he had found “the one” at age 21, but broke up over the phone.
Before David, she was engaged to a “handsome” man from Antigua and admitted she thought they would have “lovely children.”
She told the show's host: “He's Antiguan and Filipino, but I was too young.” I am 21 years old. We have beautiful children.
'You know, as time goes on you learn, I realized he was a lovely man. I wasn't ready at 21. I have to live my life.'
Michelle has won three Primetime Emmy Awards as a producer on RuPaul's Drag Race.
He also praised the program's impact on the lives of today's children, who he believes “wouldn't have fought like he did.”

She admitted on Origins with Kush Jumbo that she thought she had found “the one” when she was 21, but broke up over the phone. After a “summer of abuse,” she met her husband David in Central Park and married in 1997.
Michelle, a well-known judge on the show, said: 'I don't want to waste my time with the darkness of this planet, do I? Darkness cannot exist in the presence of light and we must continue it.
“That's what I love about drag racing, and if I had grown up, I don't think I would have fought like I did, I'm not a queer man, I'm a cis man, mostly multiracial, and I struggled with who I am, with my identity, with my body. God, I still do it.
'But now I'm at the point where I'm learning all about self-love through therapy.
'I can't do it alone. It takes a lot of work.
'You must be willing to die as the old self and be reborn as the new self. That's a difficult thing.
'So to have something like a drag race on television for these kids, it's not just about them dressing up in pretty colors.
'It's about determination, willpower, heart and vision, love, kindness and how your words affect these children.
'You hear these stories and they relate to so many things, I'm a parent, again a child on the spectrum, in society, whatever.
'This child has been through all this, and I think a lot of times parents don't understand their children, so unconsciously, parents, I don't want to say consciously, it all comes back to you, you don't know what. To do that.
“So instead of understanding that or grieving the loss of children, loving them for who they are right now changes everything, and I think parents blame themselves or think there's something wrong with the child still blaming them.
Michelle also participated in the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
Michelle had a successful career in the show, entering the house on the first day and finishing in fifth place.
