Ariel Castro Victim Michelle Knight Reveals Secret To Dr. Phil

CLEVELAND, OH – Michelle Knight, one of three women held hostage and repeatedly beaten and raped for more than a decade, told "Dr. Phil" host Phillip McGraw that she is now married. During a preview of the segment, Knight is shown in a photograph wearing a wedding gown and posing with her new husband.

"I got really good news for you," says Knight in the brief clip with Dr. Phil. "I'm married."

According to the Dr. Phil web site, Knight, who now goes by the name of "Lily," was married to her husband Miguel in May 2016. Knight, now 36 and living in Cleveland, escaped from the home of Ariel Castro in May 2013.

Knight and two other women, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, were kidnapped by Castro and held captive in his home on the west side of Cleveland. The women were held in Castro's basement and a sealed-off upstairs bedroom. They were often chained and beaten, and rarely were allowed outside the home.

Castro, who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and sexually assaulting the women, in 2013 was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years. Castro committed suicide in prison later that year.

A second book, titled "Life After Darkness," by Knight is expected on May 1. Her first book, "Finding Me," came out in 2015.

The entire episode of the Dr. Phil Show with Knight will air on April 24. Here is the clip from the show:
