Steve ‘Commando’ Willis has become more ‘distant’ since dating his new girlfriend, Harika Vancuylenberg, a new report claims.
On Monday, Woman’s Day alleged that the 44-year-old is ‘colder’ since starting the relationship with the F45 trainer early this year.
An alleged client is quoted as having said: ‘He changed when he started to see Harika. He turned a little more cold.

‘When he was with Michelle, I’d train at their house and it was so peaceful, so easy. He was very much into meditation and mindfulness.’
A second alleged client makes similar claims, saying: ‘I was shocked when I heard they were together. She’s just someone he usually wouldn’t go for.
‘He’s become quite distant since dating Harika. He used to be so friendly. He’s changed since dating her.’
However, despite the two alleged complaints, Steve’s regular customers appear delighted with her personal training sessions.

It comes after a tumultuous time for Steve, who split with longtime partner Michelle Bridges in December.
In early June, police were called to Steve’s Sydney home after the woman he accuses of stalking him reported him over a supposed breach of social distancing rules.
The trainer had allegedly led a training session at a park in Sydney’s north-west at which the participants had not been sufficiently spaced apart.

A spokesperson for Willis told The Daily Telegraph that officers had been called to the former Biggest Loser star’s home ‘regarding a reported breach of social distancing’ but he denied any wrongdoing.
‘He confirmed with local police that he was operating as per current regulations,’ the spokesperson continued.
They went on to claim that police had been called ‘because [Willis] had made a formal complaint to them about a woman identified as ‘Margaret”.
The woman who made the complaint is a former client of Willis’ who has been embroiled in an ongoing dispute with him over ‘unpaid fees’ the trainer claims she owes.

The week prior, Margaret was filmed getting into a heated argument with the celebrity coach at a park in Sydney’s north-west over alleged outstanding fees.
Margaret claims she doesn’t owe Willis the $1,350 he’s asking for.
Video footage went viral showing Steve and Harika getting into a confrontation with his former client.
Also in early June, Steve took an AVO taken out against the former client who he accuses of owing him $1,350 in unpaid personal training fees.
