Mila entered a new chapter in life when she married husband George Kowszik in September 2023.

Mila started her health and fitness journey in 2010 and her online following grew even bigger when she underwent bariatric surgery in October 2017. “13 years between one picture … 6 years since a decision that changed my life in so many ways,” she captioned a November 2023 Instagram post of her most recent before-and-after transformation photo. “On one side Mila aged 22 and on the other Mila aged 35, how much we change huh, how we grow and how we learn. Pride girl pride.”
