After posting their story covering Blahnik’s confirmation of his hire at Apple, the fitness expert again has deleted his tweets shown in the above screenshots, a similar moveafter July’s report, all but confirming his hire, again. Blahnik’s website says he “travels 40 weeks each year across the globe speaking on health, fitness, wellness and motivation,” but it appears now he will be focused entirely at Apple.
