Some famous personalities just never like to reveal anything about their family and personal life. And it might be right to say that Diego Lopes could be one of them! Why? Because information about his relationship or marital status is a thing of pure mystery.
The UFC star has never really spoken about his partner, hence we have no official confirmation about the same. But as per several credible sources, the absence of this information just proves that Diego Lopes isn’t married. Is he dating? Well, that has a whole different answer.
Although fans have never seen Diego Lopes with someone they can term as his partner, there are some rumors that might intrigue every MMA fan. There is a social media post going around, claiming that Lopez is dating actress Sydney Sweeney. In all likelihood, this is just Lopez falling prey to the trend of fans trolling fighters with dating rumors about celebrities. Some of you might remember that his compatriot Charles Oliveira received similar treatment last year.
