In December 2020, they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Bela.
Shortly after starting their family, the couple quietly tied the knot.
According to legal documents, Garcia and Celina officially married on January 14, 2021.
Why did they break up?
The couple have been together on and off for over seven years, but their relationship hit a chaotic breaking point in 2024.
Despite overcoming a 2020 cheating scandal when Garcia was caught on video kissing a TikTok star, the marriage collapsed when Garcia announced he was filing for divorce in January 2024 citing “irreconcilable differences”.
Garcia posted the divorce announcement just minutes after taking to Instagram to celebrate the birth of their second child, a son named Henry.
Things quickly grew bitter. In mid-2024, Celina accused Garcia of breaking into her home and smashing her belongings.
She also posted screenshots of text messages between her and Garcia, revealing the boxer’s alleged aggressive and hostile behaviour.
It was a chaotic time for Garcia, during which he also described the Paris Olympics opening ceremony as being “disrespectful to Jesus Christ”, called the LGBTQ+ community a “cult”, and branded rapper Eminem a “satanist”.
The boxer later issued a public apology, saying he was facing ongoing struggles with alcohol and mental health, and promising to seek therapy.
Are they back together?
During their high-profile separation, Garcia was linked to several personalities, including Australian OnlyFans creator Mikaela Testa and adult film star Savannah Bond.
But in a massive U-turn that stunned the boxing world, Garcia and Celina officially called off their split and reunited.
In July 2025, Garcia filed court documents to officially dismiss his divorce petition.
