Check out these hot photos of Candice Michelle, an American emotional alignment specialist, motivational speaker, mother, former professional wrestler, former actress and former model.

Since her TV appearance, Michelle has been backstage at multiple TNA events and appeared at two meet & greets alongside TNA stars. In a post on Instagram on January 24, 2026, the former WWE Superstar indicated that she’s affiliated with TNA. Michelle posted these photos of herself wearing a headset at a TNA event and wrote, “Agent, talent, or something in between? The next chapter is closer than you think… #StayTuned.”

Mila Moore commented, “My sexy agent!!” Michelle replied, “your the best! fire emoji).”

In professional wrestling, “agents” are backstage personnel (often retired wrestlers) acting as liaisons between management and wrestlers to structure matches and storylines.

When Candice Michelle broke into WWE in November 2004 under the character of a make-up artist, very few people anticipated her being anything more than eye candy. Listening to the whispers of doubt, she devoted herself to proving her critics wrong. Less than three years of stepping foot inside the squared circle for the first time, she reached the pinnacle of the professional wrestling industry by capturing the WWE Women’s Championship.

Michelle wrote, “Sneak peak behind the curtain of an Agent for @tnawrestling Picture this: A weekend packed with passion and history. At TNA Wrestling, I got to agent matches while reuniting with my Diva sisters—Maria Kanellis, Mickie James, and Victoria (Foxy)—friends for over 20 years! Witnessing Arianna Grace jump into Santino Marella’s arms after her first title win was pure magic.

“Then, off to Zanies, celebrating Tommy Dreamer’s birthday with Santino, Nick & Ryan Nemeth, and Mickie singing Hardcore Country, hosted by the iconic Stevie D. Backstage, meeting Jelly Roll and seeing Trey Miguel’s tear-filled title win, hugging Teddy Swims—unforgettable moments.

“I also got to agent two phenomenal matches—Indi Hartwell vs. Elegance Brand and Tasha vs. Jada. These talents blew me away. Wrestling, family, comedy, and inspiration—what a ride!”

She was born Candice Michelle Beckman on September 30, 1978 (age 47) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. When Beckman was 19 years old, she moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue a career in show business. She studied theater arts at Santa Monica College and gained acting experience at Piero Dusa Acting Conservatory in Santa Monica, California. It was during this time that Beckman adopted her middle name, Michelle, as her stage surname and became Candice Michelle.

Candice Michelle is ready for TV backstage at a TNA Wrestling event in Nashville, Tennessee in February 2025. Makeup artist Virginia Diez posted these photos of the former WWE Women’s Champion on Instagram and wrote, “Glam for stunner @mrs_candice_michelle @tnawrestling @amc_tv

“TV glam hits a little different, studio lighting is unforgiving and it eats soft color. So my goal is not “just add more makeup”… it is strategic layering… still my signature softness just calibrated for TV.”

After finding some success in modeling and acting, Michelle applied for WWE’s $250,000 Raw Diva Search in 2004. Though not chosen as one of the final 10 contestants, WWE officials felt that Michelle had potential and offered her a contract. At first, Michelle’s limited wrestling ability restricted her to non-competitive roles. While she enjoyed the attention she was getting, Michelle regarded herself as more than eye candy.

Michelle’s entrance was not shown on television as Raw returned from a commercial break while she was in the ring. She then spoke on the mic and called out WWE Women’s Champion Melina for writing in a blog that Playboy cover models can’t compete with her in the ring.

“I myself am a Playboy cover model and if she has a problem with women like me, then just come out here, Melina, and do something about it,” Michelle said.

Melina appeared on stage and the two exchanged some vicious insults. Michelle then challenged Melina to a Bra and Panties Match with no title on the line, which Melina accepted. Melina then stormed the ring and their Bra and Panties Match was shown in progress after a commercial break. Click here to see their verbal and physical encounter.

After undergoing extensive wrestling training from former Four Horsemen enforcer Arn Anderson, she became a legitimate threat in the women’s division. At Vengeance: Night of Champions on June 24, 2007, Michelle validated her worth when she defeated Melina for the WWE Women’s Championship, becoming the first person from the Diva Search to win a title.

The victory capped off her incredible evolution into a dominant professional wrestler. Michelle kept her pretty face along the way as she appeared on the cover of Playboy and starred in multiple GoDaddy commercials that aired during the Super Bowl.

After losing the WWE Women’s Championship to Beth Phoenix at No Mercy on October 7, 2007, Michelle remained a top contender for the prestigious title, but a string of injuries prevented her from regaining the success she achieved before. WWE released Michelle from her contract on June 19, 2009.

Michelle retired from wrestling following her departure from WWE and transitioned into motherhood. She had married KenGee Ehrlich, a chiropractor from Los Angeles, California, on May 7, 2005, and changed her personal name to Candice Ehrlich. They are the parents of three daughters: AkiAnne Rose, born May 23, 2010; Ryumi Grace, born October 20, 2012; and Aloha Von Ehrlich, born July 17, 2015.

“For me, it’s been an awesome transition,” Michelle said in a 2011 interview. “I think it’s because I loved my time at the WWE. I loved the people I worked with, and I felt blessed there. And then when my release happened, I think it came at a perfect time in my life. I don’t think I was quite ready to say, ‘I’m done,’ but when they released me, I realized that my life had a new venture. And then when motherhood came along, it was the best thing in the world.”
