Is Israel Adesanya married?
Israel Adesanya is one of the biggest names in the UFC. The Nigerian-Kiwi fighter has cemented his legacy as one of the most dominant middleweight champions in the promotion's history. He now stands at the doors of a historic opportunity to become the first-ever three-time UFC middleweight champion.
Adesanya's journey has been well-documented and the details of his family history have also been fairly documented. But like his sneaky knockout strikes, Adesanya keeps the intimate details of his personal life masked behind the larger-than-life persona.
Is Israel Adesanya married?
No. Israel Adesanya is not married. 'The Last Stylebender' has had several relationships over the years. However, none of those have culminated in a marriage so far.
Adesanya was in a long-term relationship with Charlotte Powdrell. However, their relationship ended in 2021, when the couple mutually decided to go their separate ways. However, the couple engaged in a heated social media war in 2023 when Adesanya criticized Powdrell in a series of Instagram Stories.
It was reported that the couple was also embroiled in a legal battle. However, 'The Last Stylebender' seems to have come out of personal struggles. Adesanya is reportedly in a relationship with Australian model Shana Evers.
Israel Adesanya's ex-girlfriend reportedly demanded half of his earnings
Israel Adesanya and ex-girlfriend Charlotte Powdrell were reportedly engaged in a legal battle with each other. Many sources confirmed that there was some legal tussle. However, no official report shed light on the exact nature of the conflict.
It was claimed that Powdrell had sued Adesanya to get half of his wealth. But Adesanya never officially confirmed or denied if Powdrell made such a demand. However, Adesanya's remarks on the issue suggest that there was a financial angle in the feud.
That said, 'The Last Stylebender' seems to have left the personal struggle in the past and looks focused on his upcoming title fight. After losing the UFC middleweight title to Sean Strickland in September 2023, Adesanya took an extended break from competition to reorder and reorganize his personal and professional life.
The Nigerian-Kiwi fighter will return to action in the UFC 305 main event on August 17 as he challenges current champion Dricus du Plessis for the middleweight title.
