Are Jon Jones and Valentina Shevchenko Dating? Everything You Need to Know About the Rumored Relationship

The UFC 285 was turned into a super event by the promotion, with the outstanding combination of matchups featured as the main and the co-main event. As a lot of fans already know, the showstopper of the night will be a UFC Heavyweight Title bout featuring the return of the coveted Jon Jones to take on the noted UFC Heavyweight, Ciryl Gane. Whereas a lot of others would also consider the co-main event of the night as a major attraction as well. It would feature the famed UFC Flyweight, Valentina Shevchenko taking on the Mexican, Alexa Grasso. It’s pertinent to note that the UFC 285 will be the second card featuring Jones as the main eventer and Shevchenko as the co-main eventer of the night.

Previously, ‘Bones’ last UFC event, UFC 247, also contained a somewhat similar card. It was the same ‘Bones’ and ‘Bullet’ as the main and co-main eventers of the event. However, this uncanny connection between ‘Bones’ and ‘Bullet’ has triggered a lot of speculation from the fans. A certain section of fans have opinionated that the two might be involved in a romantic relationship currently.

Is Jon Jones Dating Valentina Shevchenko?

Well, a portion of UFC fans might think that way. This rumor gained air when ‘The Bad Guy’, former UFC legend, Chael Sonnen, visited Ariel Helwani’s coveted podcast and started poking Helwani if he knew something about whether Jones and Shevchenko were in a relationship.

But Helwani kept dodging ‘The American Gangster’s’ questions regarding this issue. Clearly, he didn’t want to create any more controversy by commenting on such a sensitive issue.

But, apart from Sonnen‘s words, there is no other factual evidence supporting this narrative. However, as per reports, ‘Bones’ and ‘Bullet’ were both single currently. It may have prevented many fans from ruling out the possibility of any such relationship building up.

Who is Jon Jones dating now?

The history of Jon Jones‘ dating is a rather hazy topic for a lot of UFC fans. ‘Bones’ had been for a long time with his fiance Jessie Moses. He even has three daughters with her, despite never marrying her. The two reportedly shared a happy relationship until 2021. Moses had also made quite a few public appearances with ‘Bones’ as well.

‘Bones’ close relationship with Moses made a lot of his fans think that they were a married couple. But, following a case of domestic violence, Moses reportedly left Jones forever. The incident took place in September 2021 and ‘Bones’ was arrested post this incident. This probably planted the final nail in the coffin of ‘Bones’ relationship.

In a February 2022 now-deleted tweet, the former LHW champ mentioned, “My fiancée left me about two months ago, today she finalized that she won’t be coming back. If you are a Jon Jones hater, have a toast, I feel like sh*t.”

Since Moses’ departure from ‘Bones’ life, there have been no confirmed reports of the 26-1-1 record holder getting involved in any relationship or dating anyone.

Jon Jones’s secret dating history

Those who know about Jones might agree that he isn’t too secretive about his relationships. However, it also can’t be said that ‘Bones’ never had a secret relationship. ‘Bones’ met the love of his life, Moses, reportedly in 2005 during his high school years. But the two split up after a brief stint of togetherness. The UFC HOFer then went on to date another woman with whom she split up in 2008. But no information about this woman is available in the public domain.

Hence, many fans might term this relationship with ‘Bones’ as a secret one. There’s one more noted such noted rumor that a lot of fans believe. The same coach for a long time trained Jones, and the noted former UFC women’s Bantamweight star, Holly Holm.

The duo also shared a close relationship among themselves, which caused many fans to believe that the two were having a secret relationship.

Everything about Jon Jones and Valentina Shevchenko’s next fight

The UFC fans had waited for a long time before the announcement was finally made regarding ‘Bones’ return. A lot of fans finally had their wishes of watching ‘Bones’ answered when the UFC 285 main event was announced.

Most UFC fans would already know that the ‘GOAT contender’, Jones, would be taking the octagon on 4 March 2023 at the main event of the UFC. Also, talking about ‘Bullet’, she would be taking the octagon prior to Jones in the co-main event of UFC 285 to defend her Flyweight championship against Alexa Grasso.

Hence, a lot of fans might conclude things as nothing notable between ‘Bones’ and ‘Bullet’. But others might also place some trust in the rumor; since Chael Sonnen’s words aren’t to be taken lightly.
