Ian Garry Children: Did UFC Star Adopt Layla Machado’s Kids With Her Ex-Husband?

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, 27-year-old undefeated star Ian 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 Garry’s children and family life ahead of his UFC 310 fight against Shavkat Rakhmonov.

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

The 27-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.”

On his journey to the UFC, like any other Irish fighter, Ian Garry drew inspiration from Conor McGregor. However, his son, on the other hand, seems to be a big fan of another former featherweight champion.

Ian Garry’s son impersonates Max Holloway

Ian Garry’s son sent everyone into a meltdown ahead of his father’s UFC 310 bout. ‘The Future’ recently dropped a video on his YouTube channel, talking about the fight and showing glimpses from his training ahead of the biggest fight of his career, when the UFC fans’ attention shifted to his son, who urged his father to help him put the fighting headgear on. What transpired thereafter is one of the most heartwarming moments ever.

At just a few years old, Ian Garry’s son already has already got the gist of his father’s occupation. With that, he also indicated his favorite fighter when he pointed down at the ground while having a playful punching exchange with the undefeated star. Remember who points to the ground in the UFC? Well, it’s none other than the ‘Blessed Express’, Max Holloway.

Coming back to his Octagon business, Ian Garry’s UFC 310 bout won’t be an easy one for sure as he stands face-to-face against a kind of finisher that’s rare to find in MMA. He will have his little son, wife, and his team supporting him on the side. But do you think he can beat the dominant Shavkat Rakhmonov? Let us know in the comments down below.
