Once Kicked Out by Ex-Wife Julia Lemus, Andy Ruiz Jr. Made Emotional Plea to Avoid Suffering Similar Fate With New Girlfriend Mayeli Alonso

Andy Ruiz becoming champion was one of the biggest upsets in the history of heavyweight boxing, and doubtlessly the biggest this century. The Mexican-American, of course, stunned then-four-belt champion Anthony Joshua in their 2019 clash to become the second Mexican heavyweight boxing champion in history. However, around the same time, his personal life took a turn for the worse.

This has led to some very turbulent times in the former champion’s life, which even led to him losing complete access to two of his children! In this article, we take a look at his relationship with his ex-wife and his relationship status with his current partner.

Is Andy Ruiz Jr. Divorced from Wife Julia Lemus?

Andy Ruiz and Julia Lemus are no longer married. The couple’s relationship reportedly started in mid-2010s, going on to have two children together. By late 2022, early 2023 however, there were clear indications that their relationship was in trouble after Ruiz was reportedly kicked out of his home by Lemus, allegedly after he cheated on her.

Their relationship ended two years ago, after which they were involved in an ugly legal battle where Alonso sued Ruiz alleging various forms of abuse. Ruiz was not only ordered to go through an anger management program and barred from owning firearms but also has an ongoing restraining order against being one hundred yards from Alonso in the future.

Since 2023, Ruiz has been dating businesswoman and social media personality Mayeli Alonso, and their relationship has been going strong ever since. In addition, while Ruiz and Alonso are not married, their relationship seems rock solid for now as they welcomed a child in 2024.

Does Andy Ruiz Jr. Have Kids with Julia Lemus & Mayeli Alonso?

Andy Ruiz had a fruitful relationship with his ex-wife Julia Lemos and has five children with her- two sons Andy Ruiz III, and Richie, and three daughters named Bella, Emily, and Andyliz. However, in his divorce with Julia Lemos, the latter was awarded sole custody of their children.

As we have mentioned, the former champion has a son with Mayeli Alonso, named William Ruiz, who was born in July, 2024, and is thus the youngest of Ruiz’s children. In total, Ruiz has six children. However, ‘Destroyer’ loves all his children dearly, and has even indicated he hopes not to repeat the unfortunate circumstances his relationship with Lemos ended.

In a statement during the time he was on the rocks with his former wife, Ruiz took to Instagram in a now-deleted post, promising he would always take care of his children and has great respect for their mothers. “It is worth mentioning that I will always look for the welfare of my children. I will always respect their mothers,” Ruiz wrote in part. What are your thoughts on Andy Ruiz’s recent relationship drama?
