RYAN GARCIA is one of boxing’s most divisive personalities and has led a colourful existence outside the ring due to his chaotic love life.
King Ry, 28, faces off against Britain’s Conor Benn in the early hours of Sunday morning in Las Vegas with the WBC welterweight world championship on the line.

Cheering him on in his corner is likely to be his on/off wife, Andrea Celina.
The pair have had a tumultuous relationship, meeting in 2019, getting married in a shotgun wedding in 2021, before he filed for divorce in 2024.
In 2025, American Garcia had a change of heart and asked an LA court to dismiss the divorce petition, signalling an intention to work on their relationship.
In between, he reportedly had flings with porn star Savannah Bond, OnlyFans creator Mikaela Testa and Cuban beauty Malu Trevejo.

While, before he got together with Celina, Garcia impregnated Instagram model Catherine Gamez, who gave birth to his first daughter, Rylie in 2019.
He also has two children with current Wag Celina – daughter Bella, born in 2020, and Henry Leo who arrived in 2023.
SunSport takes a look at Garcia’s romantic involvements.

TMZ reported that they had a public and sometimes turbulent transition when it came to co-parenting.
Gamez disclosed that Garcia doesn’t want their daughter involved in the world of boxing.
However, they have managed to keep things cordial and maintain a relationship with each other for the sake of Rylie, according to reports.
Falling for Celina
Garcia’s romance with fitness influencer Andrea Celina began in whirlwind fashion.
They got together soon after his romance with Gamez fizzled out in 2019.
But, in October 2020, seven weeks before she was due to give birth to their first child, Garcia was caught on camera kissing Cuban beauty Malu Trevejo outside an Los Angeles restaurant.
Celina immediately took to Instagram and called him “a piece of s**t” after video of the tryst appeared online.

Garcia issued a grovelling apology on Instagram, admitting he got “caught up in the moment” and his interaction with Trevejo didn’t mean anything serious.
In December 2020, they welcomed Garcia’s second child, Bella into their lives.
The birth brought the couple back together, and they continued to work on their romance.
Then, one month later, Garcia and Celina tied the knot in a private ceremony in January 2021.
But, it wasn’t all roses.
Messy break-up
In January 2024, Garcia delivered some staggering news to his fans.

He first delivered the happy note that he and Celina had welcomed a son, Henry to their family.
However, just hours later, Garcia wrote on social media that he had filed for divorce from Celina due to “irreconcilable differences”.
Other romances
As an eligible bachelor, Garcia had plenty of suitors after splitting with Celina.
In February 2024, he hard-launched his relationship with OnlyFans adult content creator, Mikaela Testa.
They appeared smitten in an Instagram video, where he called her his “boo” as she draped herself over him.

Garcia also said he planned on investing $500,000 (£368,000) to train her for a crossover boxing match.
It was a short-lived dalliance. A month later, Garcia posted a shirtless photo on Instagram saying he was actively looking for a new girlfriend and was no longer with Testa.
In April of that year, Garcia proposed to adult porn star Savannah Bond on a private plane – just days before his fight against Devin Haney.
He confirmed the engagement on social media, much to the surprise of his 13 million followers.
However, a month later Garcia appeared on the BS w/ Jake Paul podcast and confirmed he and Bond were not together anymore.
He also admitted splashing $1million (£738,000) on an engagement ring, telling Paul it “wasn’t my best move”.

That summer, Trevejo appeared to be back on the scene – some four years after their kissing scandal.
Garcia went as far as introducing the TikTok stunner as his girlfriend in a number of social media posts.
It was a brief, renewed connection that drew plenty of scepticism online.
Happy ever after?
In July 2025, Garcia asked a Los Angeles County court to dismiss his divorce filing against Celina.
A few weeks later, social media posts, including a photo on Garcia’s birthday, pointed to a reconciliation.
