Does Ian Garry Have Children? All About the Irish UFC Star’s Family

The biggest driving force for most MMA fighters is their family, and whenever they are asked about their strength, they always answer that it is their children and their partner. They not only fight for their goal to be the best fighter in the UFC but also do it to provide for their family. Similarly, Conor McGregor‘s countrymate Ian Machado Garry also has a lovely family with his wife, Layla Anna-Lee, and they even have children together.

Garry and his wife started seeing each other in 2020 and have been together since the beginning of 2021. Garry met her during his time at Cage Warriors. The couple got married in 2022 and he said that it was a runaway marriage. Let’s get to know more about Ian and Gary’s children and family life ahead of UFC 303.

How many kids do Ian Garry and Layla Machado have together?

The 26-year-old fighter and 41-year-old sports TV presenter have one child together. Ian Garry and Layla Anna-Lee were blessed with a son just a month before the fighter’s 25th birthday. Leandro Vegas Machado Garry was almost like a birthday gift for ‘The Future’ and Layla even wished him a happy birthday along with saying that he got their son as a present.

The couple announced the birth of their boy in the latter half of November 2022, but the UFC star confirmed that their child was born on October 21. Layla even wished him saying, “Birthday Boy. May God continue to shower you with blessings. I love You!’” The birth of his son, just one month before his birthday, added immense happiness to his life. The little son adorns both mommy and daddy’s Instagram profiles and Garry loves him to the moon and back.

Does Layla Machado Garry have kids with her ex-husband, Richard Cullen?

She has worked as a successful TV presenter for years and has been associated with the UFC world. Anna-Lee first came into this industry with the BMX European Championships in 2008. She also got her first big break in the 2012 Summer Olympics, where she announced the opening ceremony and has gained a lot of success. Layla was married to sports nutritionist Richard Cullen in 2014.

In the fall of 2014, she married Richard Cullen and eleven months later became a mother for the first time to her son Lucas. Surprisingly, Garry decided to hire her ex-husband as his nutritionist. He also said that he does not want to create a rift between Cullen and his son and that is why sometimes they travel together. He wants both the children to have their parents and have a healthy family.

He said to Shakiel Mahjouri, “The main reason behind my wife’s ex-husband is that he’s an elite performance nutritionist and he’s very f***ing good at what he does, to the point where every single UFC weight cut has been easier every time.” ‘The Future’ also added, “In that same regard, he’s a professional in one regard, he’s also the father of my wife’s son and I never want to be a wedge between a father and a son.”

Meanwhile, not only Ian Garry but his son also seems to be a fan of Conor McGregor.

Ian Garry’s son impersonates Conor McGregor and other UFC stars

In a hilariously cute video that has been making circles on the internet, ‘The Future’ prompted his son to make an impression of his idol, ‘The Notorious’. The little one performed the infamous billionaire strut, flailing his arms just like the ‘Mystic Mac’ does. Needless to say, the act sent waves of laughter toward Daniel Cormier, Jon Anik, Megan Olivi, and everyone else present in the room.

But the act didn’t end there. Young Leandro went on to impersonate Alex Pereira‘s bow and arrow move, following Garry’s prompt. Thereafter came Max Holloway‘s turn. The little champ sent joy throughout the room as he pointed his finger to the floor. But when he threw a couple of punches, just like Holloway did in his last fight with Justin Gaethje, claiming the BMF belt, DC and others couldn’t hide their impressed smiles. It does seem like Garry Jr. is all set to take his little steps to the Octagon.

The Irishman is fighting Michael Page at UFC 303 and will have his little son, wife, and his team supporting him on the side. Are you excited about watching this match? Let us know in the comments.
