Michael Faces reveals her open marriage to writer David Case as she reveals the brutal way she broke up with her ex of four years.
The Come Dancing star, 55, who has two daughters with ex Strictly David, said their unconventional open wedding arrangement is what makes them 'stronger'.
She admitted on appearances on the Kush Jumbo podcast 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, who is from New Jersey, said: 'He does drag with me, and he comes to these things with me, and listen, my husband is really good-looking, so the gay guys let him know he's really good-looking.'
Michelle Visage has opened up about her apparent marriage to writer David Case as she reveals the brutal way she broke up with her ex of four years.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 55, who has two daughters with David, said their unconventional open wedding arrangement is what makes them 'stronger'.
Cush added: 'I can imagine they wouldn't mind David turning up.'
She joked: 'So he's proud. He downplayed the matter. I think you mean compression.
'We live openly, so I'm very happy and he knows that no matter what I do, I'm not sexist, whatever it is, I don't know if I have compassion. He should be very excited if he is doing something with another girl.
Kush said: 'It's like giving you a chance to feel like you never have to hide any piece of yourself.'
Mitchell, who owns a flat in London's Belsize Park and visited the UK, concluded: 'Me and not him. Sometimes it hurts, but that's what makes us stronger.
'Full transparency of the way we live. Absolutely and, by the way, sometimes it is not even necessary.
'I mean, we don't do anything. It is only capable of doing so. […] That's what works for us.'
Before David, Michelle was engaged to a 'beautiful' man from Antigua and admitted she thought they would have 'lovely children'.
She admitted to 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.
She told the show host: 'He's Antiguan and Filipino but I was too young. I am 21. 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.
'So I was 26 when I met David. I got married at 27. Still young.
'But how long ago was this? We've been together for 28 years now, I met him in Central Park in New York City, I just got out of a relationship with the love of my life and he destroyed me.
'He broke up with me over the phone after four and a half years.'
Michelle has won three Primetime Emmy Awards as a producer on RuPaul's Drag Race.
He also praised the show's impact on the lives of children today, who he believes 'wouldn't have fought the way he did'.
Michelle, a well-known judge on the show, said: 'I don't want to waste my time on this planet with darkness, do I? Darkness cannot exist in the presence of light, and we must continue to do so.
'That's what I love about drag racing, and if I'd grown up, I don't think I would have struggled the way I did, I'm not a queer man, I'm a cis, mostly multiracial man, and I struggled with who I am, with my identity, with my body. God, I still do.
'But I'm now 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 the old self and be reborn as the new self. That's a tough thing.
'So to have something like a drag race on TV for these kids, it's not just about these kids dressing up in pretty colors.
'It's about determination, willpower, heart, and vision, love, kindness and how your words affect these kids.
'You hear these stories and it relates to so many things, I'm a parent, again a child on the spectrum, in society, you name it.
'This kid has been through all this, and I think a lot of times parents don't understand their kid, so unconsciously, parents, I don't mean consciously, it comes back to you, you don't know what. To do that.
'So instead of understanding it or grieving the loss of the children, loving them for who they are at this moment changes everything and I think the parents blame themselves or they think there's something wrong with the child still blaming them.
Michelle was also a contestant on the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
Michelle had a successful run of the show, entering the house on the first day and finishing in fifth place.
The drag race judge, who rose to prominence in the States in the late 1980s as a member of the girl band Seduction, endeared herself to a diverse crowd in the 2010s as a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race.
But after moving across the pond to the UK in 2019, Visage, who joked that he was 'a gay British man' in his previous life, took part in Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother UK and found a new fan base back home. 30 days.

Four years later, she became an instant favorite when she took to the Strictly stage with Giovanni Bernice in 2019 after making a notable cameo in The Only Way Is Essex, where she surprised longtime friend Bobby Norris.
The launch of Drag Race UK saw him rub shoulders with Graham Norton and Alan Carr and cemented him as an honorary Brit in the public eye.
Michelle stopped working as a presenter on CBS Radio, became an in-house judge on Drag Race, and later won over more fans on Radio 2.
