All You Need to Know About Jorge Masvidal’s Kids That Led to Colby Covington Papi Steakhouse Incident

When inside the Octagon, Jorge Masvidal is one of the most fierce competitors out there. Although, the ‘BMF’ of the UFC is currently going through a rough patch with three consecutive losses. Masvidal is one of the most popular MMA fighters around. He is a veteran who has been competing as a professional MMA fighter since 2003.

Masvidal is a global superstar today, and that is all thanks to his 3 knockout victories in 2019. While everyone is aware of Masvidal’s in-ring talent and accomplishments, we know little about the fighter’s family. Also, a lot of fans might have a question about whether the ‘Miami native’ has any kids or not.

Jorge Masvidal: Is he married or single?

At present, we believe Jorge Masvidal to be unmarried. Understandably, it would be tough to gather information about this fact. Masvidal has always decided to maintain a bit of haze around this topic. So it is only assumptions that we can currently make.

However, an interesting topic regarding Masvidal’s marriage opened up during the build-up of his fight with his friend-turned-foe, Colby Covington. At the pre-bout press conference of the UFC 272, ‘Chaos’ talked about a lady named Maritza Collado and alleged her to be Masvidal’s wife. Further, ‘Chaos’ also mentioned her in an interview with ESPN.

He said, “I’m talking about his ex-wife, the mother of his children, Maritza, Maritza Collado; Maritza Masvidal, they’re still legally married… just ask him, why are you trying to delete Maritza from history? Why are you deleting her and wiping her away from the internet?”

Covington went one step further as he uploaded an Instagram snap with Martitza. He also captioned it, “Out here playing games with Mrs. Masvidal. Great catching up with you Maritza! #ufc261”.

However, there’s no substantial evidence for Covington’s claims. Rather, the known fact is that Masvidal was in a relationship for quite a while with a Jordanian-American entrepreneur and procurement specialist named Iman Kawa.

How many kids does Jorge Masvidal have?

Well, the answer to this can be provided, although Masvidal has rarely spoken about them in public. ‘Gamebred’ has three kids, out of which two are daughters and his youngest one is his son.

Also, despite Colby Covington’s allegations of Maritza Collado being the mother of Masvidal’s kids, most media outlets present a different opinion. It is widely believed that ‘Gamebred’s’ long-time girlfriend, Iman Kawa, is the mother of all his kids.

However, there are no sources confirming the same. Apart from Masvidal, Kawa has also restricted herself from putting out any information regarding her kids in public. Once, Masvidal put out an Instagram post of him getting reunited with his kids, but he decided to remove it soon afterward.

How is Jorge Masvidal’s relationship with his kids?

The now-deleted Instagram video posted by Masvidal showcased him getting reunited with his kids after 13 months. His face displayed emotions of immense pleasure after meeting his kids. He could also be witnessed giving a tight hug to his son and kissing his daughter.

This wholesome video was enough proof of the endearing relationship that ‘Gamebred’ maintained with his kids. A lot of persons viewing the video might realize how he tries to be a caring father.

There has hardly ever been any parent in this world who has fulfilled all the wishes of their little ones. Masvidal wasn’t an exception in this regard. Despite boasting such fame and power, there is one complaint that ‘Gamebred’s’ daughter will always have against him.

In an interview with ESPN, the ‘BMF’ of the UFC talked about the negative aspects of being a UFC fighter who is massively famous. “I can’t go to the supermarket”. Further, he also revealed how his daughter “doesn’t like it” when they are caught and bugged by a lot of people while they go out for a movie or games.

His daughter’s complaints are quite understandable in this regard. Masvidal mostly stays busy regarding his professional ventures. Hence, his kids probably don’t have much time to spend with their father. Even when his kids get to go on an outing with him, they are bugged by people. A lot might label Masvidal’s daughter’s complaints as ‘justified’.

The time Jorge Masvidal apologized to his children

It is every parent’s constant endeavor to become an ideal role model in their children’s eyes. The 38-year-old ‘Miami native’ also wasn’t an exception to this.

After his loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 251, ‘Gamebred’ talked about how he doesn’t like losing in front of his kids and apologized to them. “To my daughter and my son, I’m sorry. Gosh, I hate freaking losing in front of my kids; that’s one thing that hurts me,” Masvidal said.

A lot of fans might take this instance as one more example of Masvidal’s caring nature towards his kids.
