Steve ‘Commando’ Willis is reportedly off the market, just a month after his split from Michelle Bridges made headlines.
The former Biggest Loser star, 43, is reportedly dating Sydney-based F45 trainer Harika Vancuylenberg (also known as Harika Yazdre), with friends telling New Idea he is already ‘smitten’ with his new girlfriend.
‘They have a lot in common – training, healthy lifestyles, both single parents – and [they] just really enjoy each other’s company,’ a source told the magazine.

The couple reportedly met in November, when Harika attended Steve’s fitness retreat in Tahiti.
The mother-of-two – who is the spitting image of Michelle – gushed over Commando on Instagram after meeting him for the first time.
A female friend who was also on the retreat wrote on Instagram: ‘Highlight of the trip – Commando in swimming briefs.’
Harika responded: ‘Especially when there [sic] panda ones.’

Steve and Harika’s friendship later evolved into a romance once he had broken up with Michelle, according to Woman’s Day.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted to Steve Willis and Harika Vancuylenberg for comment.
Michelle confirmed her split from Steve last month, after she had been caught drink driving with her son, Axel, in the car 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 the pair’s break-up.
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.

In May last year, Woman’s Day reported that the couple were heading for a split due to their ‘frequent arguments’.
‘The relationship has become increasingly toxic in the past 12 months,’ a source claimed at the time.
‘They are constantly bickering over everything, from work to parenting to what to have for dinner.’
