UFC heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones’ legacy inside the Octagon can only be matched by the family life he has built outside of it. Just like his UFC reign, his personal life too has seen its fair share of hurdles, tall ones, but is seemingly steady and going on strong now.
Imagine meeting someone in high school and, years later, still being together after navigating ups and downs—much like his journey in the Octagon. Many fans wonder if this decade-long relationship with his partner has led to a family. Well, we dug a little deeper into Jones’s personal life. So, without further ado, let’s dive in.

Jon Jones has had a decade-long relationship with his partner, Jessie Moses. Despite their enduring bond, the couple is yet to be married. However, they are proud parents of three beautiful daughters. In 2008, they were blessed with their first daughter, Leah. After some time, they were also fortunate to welcome two more daughters: Carmen Nicole Jones in 2009 and Oliveira Haven Jones in 2013.
Despite facing some challenges in his relationship with partner Jessie Moses, Jones has always been incredibly close to his daughters. In a candid interview, he once shared, “With the girls being such a young age, not seeing them for even two weeks, I miss out on a lot.”

All we know about Jon Jones’ Son
Earlier this year, as MMA fans eagerly anticipated Jon Jones’s first title defense upon his return to the octagon, ‘Bones’ unexpectedly surprised everyone with a tweet in June. In a short update, he announced that he had been granted 50/50 custody of his son, a revelation that was difficult for some fans to digest. Years ago, during an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, Jones had claimed to have “4 children,” but fans didn’t think much of it, never imagining there could be a son involved.

In his tweet, “I was just granted 50/50 custody of my son, I’m the happiest dad in the world today,” Jones garnered congratulations from the MMA community. However, it was quickly clarified that the son is not from his partner, Jessie Moses. Before this revelation, Jon Jones had never publicly mentioned having a son, and the identity of the boy’s mother remains unknown.
Now, all eyes are on the upcoming UFC 309 this weekend, where 37-year-old Jon Jones will defend his heavyweight title in what is speculated to be his final MMA fight, facing former two-time champion Stipe Miocic. Fans are eager to see if, like always, ‘Bones’ will retire undefeated (except for the DQ loss) in the Octagon. Drop your predictions below.
