Fourteen years ago, during an interview with RawVegasDotTv, Celeste, who was single at the time, detailed an extensive set of conditions for anyone interested in dating her:
"My love life is good, I don't really have one though. I'm waiting for Mr. right. He has to be very supportive, not jealous, ambitious, has his own things going on, and knows how to treat a woman... Respect, honor, loyalty, trust, and put me on a pedestal. It's a long list but I'm not going to shorten it."

When Arianny Celeste was arrested for suspected domestic violence
Arianny Celeste's 2012 arrest on suspicion of domestic violence in Nevada came to light when her mugshot surfaced in a TMZ report. The incident occurred following an alcohol-fueled altercation with her then-boyfriend, Praveen Chandra, resulting in a disturbance at Wynn Las Vegas.
UFC president at the time, Dana White (now the organization's CEO), swiftly came to Celeste's defense. White emphasized the former octagon girl's enduring association with the organization:
"Arianny is our baby. She has been with us for over five years. She is a good girl and an amazing ambassador for UFC. I don’t know all the details of what happened, but we have her back and support her 100 percent." [h/t Bleacher Report]
Details surfaced from the incident revealed a contentious argument that reportedly began in a limo en route to Wynn Las Vegas. Celeste accused Chandra of texting other women, which led to a confrontation.
Chandra alleged that he was kicked in the nose by Celeste while she accused him of choking her and squeezing her arm in their hotel room. Both were taken into custody, and Chandra also faced charges of domestic violence.
