Abby Lee Miller has never been married, but that did not stop her from making people believe she was going to be. In January 2014, Miller shared an Instagram photo of her and actor Michael Padula. The two were cozied up together with the caption, "I do!!! @michael_padula." The photo attracted over 34,000 likes, with several followers congratulating Miller on the supposed engagement. She'd even doubled down on the relationship in a July 2014 episode of "The Wendy Williams Show."
Though it seemed Miller had found love, she revealed days after the "Wendy" appearance that she and Padula faked the entire relationship so that her mother, Maryen Lorrain Miller, could die in peace knowing that her daughter was loved. "My mother was very ill, and she just passed away. I just think it was a comfort thing for her to know there was somebody," Miller shared in an interview. Maryen died in February 2014, believing that Miller was actually headed down the aisle.
