Ted's Journey with Michelle
With Ted Lasso season 3 concluding the series (for now at least), not all viewers may have caught what happened to Ted Lasso's wife Michelle, played by Andrea Anders. Ted's relationship with his wife has been a big part of Jason Sudeikis' character, as his moving to England to coach AFC Richmond created even more distance between them. Ted eventually signed divorce papers, allowing them both to move on. The show has appeared to be on a track to keep them separate with Michelle dating Dr. Jacob and Ted's open romantic life. However, Ted Lasso season 3 teased a different future, even way before the finale.

After struggling with the fact that Michelle is dating their former marriage counselor, Ted learns that it does him and others no good to keep his emotions and feelings locked up. This leads to the phone call with Michelle in Ted Lasso season 3, episode 4 where he explains why he is unhappy with her and Dr. Jacob's relationship. Ted reiterates that he still loves Michelle and their son, Henry, and that he knows they need to be honest with each other to raise him right. It was a breakthrough moment for Ted, and Michelle's reaction was also positive, making it an ideal ending for the titular Ted Lasso character.

The last time Michelle is seen in Ted Lasso is when Ted is coaching at his son Henry's soccer game, and Michelle appears at the sidelines cheering for Ted and their son. While the show never explicitly confirms whether Ted and Michelle are back together, this scene implies that this is indeed the case. With Ted Lasso's wife and son by his side, the show avoids just putting Ted back to where he started. Ted did eventually get what he wanted - being back with his kid - but through the changes he experienced while coaching Richmond, it's entirely possible that Ted gained back something more.

Indeed, after seeing how happy their son is to have Ted back - alongside experiencing the positive changes in Ted - Michelle is likely to have taken Ted back. For some viewers, another possibility is that the last scene simply shows Ted and Michelle peacefully co-parenting, which also makes sense for their respective character arcs. In any case, with Ted and Michelle definitely back on good terms, even if they're not back together yet in the final scene, it may just be a matter of time before they do. Michelle may seem like a minor character in the Ted Lasso cast, but her fate is ultimately tied to Ted's journey of growth.

Michelle's smile after Ted tells her how he feels is a big tease that Ted Lasso season 3 really did end with them back together. She could have gotten upset or fought back after Ted expressed his feelings about her current relationship, as they are no longer together and she has the freedom to be with whoever she wants. However, Michelle listened carefully to everything that Ted said, and after saying goodbye, she smiled repeatedly as she reflected on her ex-husband's words. Michelle smiling could mean that this moment was more than just a breakthrough for Ted; it may have made his wife realize she still loved him too.

The key to this scene and the possibility that Ted and Michelle get back together is that he finally tells his wife how he really feels. Ted had a tendency to hold in his true feelings, especially if they are more negative and potentially critical. It is possible that when Ted told Michelle how he felt, he said exactly what she needed to hear from him. This would mean that Michelle could begin to rethink the long-term nature of their relationship, possibly coming to the realization that she, Ted, and their son Henry belong together. Whether Ted Lasso season 4 will happen or not, what's clear is that season 3 ended with Ted's family intact.

Ted and Michelle getting back together - or at least co-parenting - in Ted Lasso season 3 was the best possible ending for both characters. After AFC Richmond placed second in the league and Ted opted to name Trent's book The Richmond Way instead of The Lasso Way, Ted fulfilled his purpose. There was nothing left to do for Ted but to go back to Henry and Michelle. Ted Lasso's wife may not have as much screen time as the show's main characters, but in the end, Michelle represents the endgame that Ted had in mind since Ted Lasso season 1.
