Alexandre Pantoja seems to have an unfathomable amount of love for his family. He made this apparent when he won the flyweight title last year, following which his whole family, his wife, and his children joined in to celebrate that auspicious moment. After the fight, ‘The Cannibal’ also spoke about his wife and kids being the most important part of his life.

Alexandre Pantoja is a married man and has been together with his wife for a long time. He’s also a father of two kids with her, and here’s everything we know about Pantoja’s children, ahead of his UFC 310 title defense against a debuting Kai Asakura.

Meet Cauã Pantoja and Nicolas Pantoja, Alexandre Pantoja’s sons

Alexandre Pantoja and his wife have two boys, named Cauã Pantoja, who was born in 2011, and his younger brother, Nicolas ‘Nick’ Pantoja, born in 2014. Currently, 13 and 11 years old, the UFC flyweight champion’s sons haven’t given any indication if they’ll follow in their father’s footsteps to be an MMA fighter, but they’ve shown their support to Pantoja on several occasions during his fights with their presence in the arena.

The flyweight champion has spoken about his deep love for his children, saying that he has dedicated his life to the well-being of his family. Pantoja is a committed family man and one of the reasons behind his deep love for his family is his own childhood. Meanwhile, there’s no other information on his kids available in the public domain.

Now that we’ve established who his children are, let’s take a look at the mother of his children, his wife, Gabryella Pantoja.

Who is the mother of Pantoja’s kids?

Having met each other in 2008 in Rio De Janeiro, Alexandre, and his wife, Gabryella Pantoja, have been a closely knit couple for more than a decade. The UFC champion’s partner is a stay-at-home mother, estimated to be around 29-30 years old, who’s primarily focused on the needs of her children and, of course, her husband.

Just like her husband, Gabryella Pantoja was also born in Brazil and follows Christianity. Fans have caught glimpses of Gabryella on more occasions than once when she attends ‘The Cannibal’s UFC fights, just like her sons. While Pantoja worked his way to the top, she was there beside him throughout his journey.

When the Brazilian finally reached the biggest point of his career by winning the UFC’s 125-pound gold, he said “I just want the love of my dad” in the post-fight octagon interview, showing the emotional scar his father’s abandonment left in his psyche, which he is still trying to recover from. Let’s take a deep dive into that aspect of Alexandre Pantoja’s life.

Alexandre Pantoja’s strained relationship with his father

Very few people lead lives without having to worry about any struggles. But things were different for Alexander Pantoja. He grew up in a family with two other siblings under the care of his mother. However, his father abandoned not only him but his entire family. Pantoja revealed during an interview that his father had problems with alcohol abuse. “My dad drank a lot and I see a lot of fights with him and my mom,” ‘The Cannibal’ told Ariel Helwani.

With the struggles he went through because of his father’s abandonment and his mother having to look out for all the kids on her own, Alexandre Pantoja is making sure that the same thing doesn’t happen to his wife and kids, whom he claims are his real family now. “My wife, my kids, that’s the real family, you know. That’s the best thing that’s happened in my life,” the 125-pound champion added.

Alexandre Pantoja is now in a content spot in his personal life. Hence, his attention should now be on defending his title for the third time. Do you think the champion will be able to reconcile with his father? Will the Pantoja clan celebrate yet another win for Alexandre at UFC 310? Let us know in the comments section below.
