Who is Neil Magny's wife? All about the UFC welterweight's personal life
Neil Magny’s personal life and his legal battle gained a lot of publicity during the build-up to his fight against Ian Machado Garry. Magny has kept his personal life away from the glitter and glamor of the sports entertainment industry. In this article, we explore the details of his married life.
Who is Neil Magny's wife?
Magny had been married to Emily Rae Steiner since 2018 until their separation in 2023. The couple was in a relationship for some time before they decided to tie the knot. They met each other through Emily’s sister, who was dating Magny's friend at the time. Sources claim that Steiner was not interested in getting into a relationship with an athlete. However, she was impressed with Magny's personality and decided to proceed.
The couple was blessed with two kids. Their elder son, Liam, was born in 2020 while their younger son, Dominic, was born in 2023. Emily and Neil have kept their personal life away from the glitter and glamour of the sports entertainment industry. However, Emily has appeared in several posts on Magny's social media accounts. Steiner is a hairdresser by profession.
Magny and Steiner’s marriage hit a rocky road in 2023. Following Ian Garry’s critical comments on Magny’s parenting methods, the 37-year-old revealed that the Irishman's remarks hurt his case for custody of his children.
Having spoken on the matter on several occasions in the recent past, Magny implied that he had been going through a divorce and the legal procedures for their children’s custody were still underway. However, the personal turmoil in his life seems to have ended.

“It’s been a lot that’s been going on in these past few months. But even with my partner - we’re apart now - we’re able to actually focus on the future, between ‘what’s best for our family’ kind of thing and it’s been great. I have zero complaints about going into this fight compared to the shenanigans I had to do back in August.”
