This news isn’t as exciting as I hoped. Tracy Anderson, noted fraudster, trainer and Gwyneth Paltrow’s business partner, is getting a divorce. For some reason, I had it in my head that Tracy married Philippe van den Bossche, who used to be the head of Madonna’s criminally negligent Raising Malawi charity (birds of a fraudulent feather), but Tracy didn’t marry Philippe. They just dated for a while. Tracy ended up marrying a guy named Matt Mogol, who works for the Clinton Foundation, and Tracy and Matt welcomed a daughter last year. And now they’re separating/getting a divorce.
Celeb trainer Tracy Anderson is separating from her husband of nearly two years, Matt Mogol, her rep confirms to Us Weekly exclusively. The couple wed in 2011 and welcomed a baby daughter, Penelope, in May 2012.
Over the last few weeks, sources told Us that Anderson and Mogol had separated.
Steven Beltrani, Anderson’s rep, confirmed the news, telling Us: “It’s with great sadness that Tracy has confirmed the separation between herself and her husband, Matt. The well-being of the daughter that they share, as well as her son, will always remain Tracy’s first priority. We appreciate the respect of Tracy and her family’s privacy during this immensely heartbreaking and painful time.
Thirty-eight old Anderson, whose clients include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, Julianne Hough, and many more, also has a 13-year-old son, Sam, with her first husband, former NBA star Eric Anderson.
The fitness guru married Mogol on Sept. 27, 2011, in Big Sur.
God, I completely forgot/didn’t know that Tracy has a teenage son! Lord. Wait, how old is Tracy again? She’s… 38 years old. Oh, I thought she was well into her 40s. Anyway, this should probably get interesting. Tracy has decades worth of sketchy behavior in her past, and former boyfriends and business partners have described how she defrauded them out of money and all sorts of things. I have no idea why Gwyneth thought it would be a great idea to go into business with Tracy, but I suspect that Tracy’s ex is going to have some interesting stuff to say about all of it. Watch this space.

If you stare at the second picture for a while, Tracy will eat your soul.
maybe that’s what happened, her soon-to-be-ex looks very human!
I wonder what the Clinton Foundation guy thought of Tracey’s various money ventures? Maybe her blow-dry bar was the final straw!?
Ewww boy, I suspect we’re going to get another metamorphosis by Tracey, and now she and Gwinny will have loads of time together. This could be bad for all of us 🙁
I think her and the ex look like brother and sister.
@Taungerita, that comment made my day! 🙂
So true! She looks so creepy! Probably a major bitch too.
I don’t get why people trust her and believe what she preaches. So stupid. Gwyneth should watch out.
Totally agree. She really seems like an awful person
Who??? She isn’t even a 9th tier celebrity.
I feel bad for her daughter, having a mom like Tracy.
I will never understand why people think it’s immoral to be pregnant and unmarried, but they have no qualms about getting married because the woman is knocked up, and divorcing less than two years later.
Getting married because of a pregnancy is always a bad idea no matter how old the couple is. But I also don’t see why people get married AFTER the baby is born when the kid is a few years old. Why bother?
I don’t understand why someone will commit to having a child with someone when they aren’t ready to commit to marrying that person. It just seems backwards to me. I’m not talking about accidental pregnancies. I mean couples who live together and have more than one child but aren’t “ready” to commit to be married until years later.
Why bother — because being a spouse gives you certain rights that you do not have being the girlfriend or boyfriend. Plus you might think twice about dropping out of the relationship.
* goodnamesalltaken – that’s kinda what I’m talking about. Let’s have a baby (and make a 20 year commitment) but we’re not “ready” to get married because I don’t know you well enough?? Weird concept.
@ OK – I agree a marriage gives a woman more rights and does make both parties think twice before leaving (’cause divorce is messy). But that’s more like signing a legal contract and covering your ass against future misdeeds than doing something for love. But I see what you are saying.
@Meredith
Exactly. I will make a commitment that binds me to you forever but marriage? Still not sure.
Don’t get it, either.
Who is there for the kids when moms got a screw or two loose like TA and Bethenney Frankel – and there’s nobody to protect and shield the child from psychological damage. Another point of interest – look at all the ads promoting ADD, ADHD drugs for children – you never see a father or even a father and mother in those adverts – its always mom giving her kid the speed.
Mitch — as far as the ads go — the ads are aimed at who is the primary caregiver. And in this day and age most often it is still the mother.
And the “speed” that one gives an ADHD child actually slows them down
@ Ok: +1.
She’s only 38?!?!? Wow. She looks 40 something. Time has not been her best friend.
Maybe if she’s so fraudulent about business, she’s fraudulent about her age too? Haha because I agree she looks MUCH older than 40!
I read her age and had to do a double take. No way she is only 38… Unless she’s been celebrating her 38th birthday at least 5 years in a row.
You all, considering that she just had a baby and reportedly with no fertility treatments, I doubt that she’s well into her forties. As Tracy’s friend Gwyneth once said, “Eggs don’t lie.”
I believe that she doesn’t lie about her age. She just aged prematurely because of her low-calorie diet.
Well, that didn’t last long. Maybe he realized what a fraud she is.
I can only imagine how difficult it is to live with her and with babies too. She’s insane about workout, food and her size and must be about it days and nights, jumping around her dance cardio, swinging her legs and arms in order to burn her 50 calories lunch she had. Ugh. So sad.
She was married to a NBA player? She looks like a little troll next to Gwyneth and Gwyneth is a foot! shorter than this Eric Anderson guy – he is 6ft9. I need to see their pictures but google is not helpful this time. They must have been an “interesting” looking couple. It’s not even about her height alone but her entire troll-like presence.
As for her current divorce – I’d be surprised if anyone would last longer than 2 years married to this horrible woman. Separation seems like a natural step.
Wonder if she will send the wedding presents back?
I get it that some marriages break up quickly. But it’s weird that no one seems to be embarrassed about this any more.
The next person will be the ‘love of their life’ and the next wedding will be just as over-the-top.
And I’ll be forced to shell out more $$ for presents and attend goddamn ‘destination weddings’!
A good friend of mine recently got married for the 3rd time. She was married as a teenager, divorced at 30 from a cheating husband. Married at 40 and had two more kids. Divorced about 15 years after that. Never thought she would marry again but now in her early ’60’s, she did. The “wedding” was at her house and attended by 2 of her 5 kids and the groom. She just had a big family, friends party last week to celebrate. That’s the way to do it.
This will stay discrete and under the radar. Gwyn + Tracy are making LOTS of money together. She got what she wanted: another child from a respectable father before her clock ran out. End of story.
If I wanted another baby before my clock ran out (FYI it has run out), I would just go to a sperm bank. Pay for the donor or pay for the wedding – same thing and a donor requires less paperwork and less emotional blame throwing.
She annoys me to NO end and the same w/Goopy!
Tracy looks so damn dry and brittle, LOL!
I see her ex, Eric, only played in the NBA for 2yrs w/the Knicks. meh..
I imagine that she is a MASSIVE PITA to live with. Someone who is that insanely controlling about food & exercise is probably no fun at all.
I feel awful for her daughter. She going to be raised with some seriously warped body image issues
Of course, because it makes perfect sense for Hollywood people. Make a committment, have a baby then give it about a year and call it quits. Plus, what was her husband thinking marrying her? I mean, c’mon, high maintenance and a funky mug to boot.
It’s hardly only “Hollywood people”…they’re just the ones that get written about.
who has links to fraud stories? heard but never knew the extent of it….
Is it just me, or is it strange that she’s this “fitness guru” but she’s got no muscle tone.
He looks like a sweet human being. Maybe he was tired of having to smuggle in food for himself and the kids. Contraband sandwiches found and she would be karate-chopping him in the balls- just where she can reach him.
I bet she was trying to make that adorable baby work out to remove all traces of sweet chubbiness.
LOL between your contraband carbs and roxy’s funky mug comment I am dying over here. I am glad I am not the only who thinks this chick sounds like the least fun person EVER to hang out with.
This is why she fits so well with the K’s. there all scam artists. Jump in and bail make a quick buck and everyone else loses.
I have no idea why Gwyneth thought it would be a great idea to go into business with Tracy
Because Gwyneth is a nincompoop. Maybe if she ate, she’d have more blood going to her brain.
