There may never be another fighter like Stipe Miocic, who’s not only a bona fide legend inside the Octagon but also leads a life as a firefighter simultaneously. Undoubtedly, he’s as tough as they come. However, deep down, the former 2-time heavyweight champion is also a family man. Not only is Miocic a husband to his supportive wife, but he’s also a model father.

Stipe Miocic’s family may witness him entering the Octagon for the final time this weekend at UFC 309 against Jon Jones. But who are his children? Well, before we get to fight night, let’s take some time to get acquainted with Miocic’s lovely children.

How many kids does Stipe Miocic have?

Stipe Miocic, after getting married to his wife Ryan Marie Miocic in 2016, didn’t take too much time to introduce new members to his family. In 2018, he and his wife had their first baby, a daughter named Meelah Claire Miocic. UFC fans have seen glimpses of the young girl with on-screen appearances with her father, be it in interviews or in UFC documentary-style videos.

When Miocic’s daughter turned three years old, she got introduced to another member of the family, her little brother and the UFC legend’s second child, his son, Mateo Cruz Miocic. Interestingly, the news of Mateo’s birth was announced by none other than the ‘Voice of the UFC’, Bruce Buffer, on Miocic’s Instagram page.

A true family man at heart, ‘Stone Cold’ has shared multiple heartwarming photos and videos on his social media handles, showcasing how much he loves being a father besides chasing championship glory inside the Octagon. But now, let’s move over to learn about the mother of those children, who, of course, is Stipe Miocic’s wife.

Ryan Marie Miocic, the mother of Stipe Miocic’s kids

Stipe Miocic met his Ryan Marie Miocic through her brother. After their first meeting, they hit it off pretty quickly, and fast forward to 2024, the couple is in a loving marriage with each other. When it comes to her occupation, Miocic’s wife has professional expertise in multiple fields – nurse training, hairstyling, and cosmetology instructing. Moreover, according to certain reports, Ryan Marie also works as a real estate agent.

Stipe Miocic and his wife come from the same place, Cleveland, Ohio, but they wouldn’t meet each other until they were in their late 20s. It was during his firefighting department’s Easter pancake breakfast when the two bumped into each other for the first time. Despite being the proud wife of a world-class MMA fighting champion, Ryan Marie can never gather the courage to watch her husband beat and get beaten inside the Octagon.

“I’m always just worried about injuries, and making sure he walks out with very minor injuries, hopefully. As a nurse and as his wife, God forbid he’d have to go to the hospital there. It’s a very different system,” Ryan Marie Miocic told ‘Cleveland19 News’ a few years ago.

It remains to be seen if Stipe Miocic can bring home the belt to his wife and kids for a third time because his son, Mateo Cruz, is yet to see his father wearing the belt as he was born after ‘Stone Cold’s title loss to Francis Ngannou. Can the UFC’s resident firefighter do it again? Let us know in the comments down below.
