Cesar Millan has a new show and is feeling like a top dog again—but two years ago he had given up on life.
An upcoming Nat Geo Wild documentary reveals that the Dog Whisperer star attempted suicide in 2010 following the death of his beloved pit bull, Daddy, and the breakup of his 16-year marriage.
"It was hard, because I wasn't expecting it," he says of the divorce from wife Ilusion, with whom he has two sons. "I went into a big depression. I lost a lot of weight. And I felt that I lost the most important thing, which was my family."
After surviving an overdose later that year, Millan says in the special, airing Nov. 25, that he eschewed medication and regained control of his life through exercise and work.
He also has a new love in his life, Jahira Dar, and is thinking about proposing—but he has to ask her parents first.
"I know they are going to say yes, but I like the whole Cinderella story," he says.
"I think my life has everything, you know, it has comedy has drama has action," Millan says. "I don't know about the ending yet. I'm just glad I can tell the story. Hopefully people get inspired, they get motivated. It doesn't matter where you come from. Really what I would like for people to get out of this is just to not lose hope, no matter what happens. You should never lose hope."
Next up, Leader of the Pack, which filmed in Spain, premieres on Nat Geo Wild in January.

i hope daddy is at peace and ceaser can pull thru with this.
solidarity, bb
My poor beautiful baby. She was almost 17 years old (had her since I was 7) when she we had to put her down.
Leaving this post before I start crying,
i'd be sad but w/e, gotta keep it pumpin'
Like its so basic but i'll sit there and "AWWWWWWW" all over the place for hours.
it is THE BEST SHOW
reginald is the best kitten imo
I'm going through the trials of house training my 4 month old puppy, who is currently snoring beside me. Still love the little bugger tho. He's the sweetest grump ever, s'why I named him Charlie Brooker.
Lost my first bunny after two years of frequent vet appointments- she was blind from day one, severe glaucoma -and that killed me for months afterward, took me a few years to get to a point where I could see her photo and have her urn visible.
i've read studies that show losing a pet can be just as grievous as losing a human family member, and i completely get that
ot but i had a dog named licorice. someone shot him fml
i lost my dog of 16 years in 2008, my mom and i still shed a tear when we talk about her together
I have a (maybe) irrational fear that some fucked up person will hear our dogs barking and come by and kill them or something. I know thats a little crazy but it could happen and it scares me. If someone EVER hurt one of my pets I think I would be capable of severely fucking their world up.
w8 Cinderella's dad died and her stepmom didn't want her anywhere near a husband. wut.
On a serious note though this is great to hear. I wondered what happened to him.
Your babies are adorable, I love those big brown eyes.
look at those little faces omg omg
your babies are so pretty!
