Who is Michelle Beadle?
Born Michelle Denise Beadle on the 23rd October 1975 in Italy, she is a prominent sports reporter and TV show host, best known to the world from her extensive work for ESPN, including as one of the hosts of the show “Get Up!”, next to Mike Greenberg and Jalen Rose. Before joining ESPN, Michelle worked for both ABC and NBC, among many other networks.
Early Life, Family, and Education
The daughter of Bon Beadle and Serenella Paladino, Michelle is the oldest of three children, as she has a younger brother and sister. Her father, Bob was an executive at Valero Energy, so although born in Italy, she and her family returned to the USA and settled in Roanoke, Texas, located just outside of Dallas, then moved to Boerne, a small town close to San Antonio. During her childhood years, Michelle didn’t speak English well, and learned the language alongside her mother, who also wasn’t an eloquent English speaker. She went to Boerne High School, and upon graduation enrolled at the University of Texas, Austin to study political science as a pre-law student. As her studies progressed she joined a law group, and started working at the capitol in Austin. However, this experience proved to Michelle that she wasn’t suited to law, and decided to leave her studies. She moved to Canada where she had several odd jobs while thinking about what to do with her life, then returned to the US after three years and started working as a waitress, before enrolling at the University of Texas at San Antonio, from which she graduated.

Career Beginnings
Growing up, Michelle was a tomboy and interest in all sports, which helped her at the start of her subsequent career, as on her father’s suggestion and with his help, Michelle became an intern for the San Antonio Spurs basketball team. She then became a sideline reporter for the NBA franchise, and as she gained experience, she was given a chance at Fox Sports Net, serving as host of the Big Game Hunters. It was in 2002 that her career received the boost Michelle needed; she joined TNN as a “behind-the-chutes” sideline reporter, covering the Professional Bull Riders’ (PBR) Bud Light Cup tour. Although planned as a fill-in for two weeks, she was promoted to a full-time reporter, but during her time at TNN, she was also freelancing for CBS Sports, covering the PBR and ESPN’s Titan Games.
Michelle subsequently joined ESPN, but not before she worked for YES Network, where she covered New Jersey Nets basketball games, and also worked for Travel Channel. Michelle was then seen as a Red Carpet reporter for the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Tony Awards and other events.
