Joaquin Buckley Wife Sarah Reger: Is the UFC Star Married?

Joaquin Buckley was fixated on not getting knocked out ever again after losing to Chris Curtis in 2022. Fast-forward a couple of years later, he’s racked up a few knockouts of his own, amassing a 5-fight winning streak. After some impressive performances, Buckley has now been paired with former interim champion Colby Covington at UFC on ESPN 63 with a chance for the 30-year-old to make a statement and inch closer to the welterweight title.

‘New Mansa’ possesses an exciting and no-nonsense fighting style, but as he rises in popularity, fans are slowly starting to take an interest in his personal life. So, is he in a relationship? Well, like many other fighters, Joaquin Buckley was also with his long-term partner throughout his MMA journey.

Meet Sarah Reger, Joaquin Buckley’s girlfriend

Joaquin Buckley is not married but has been in a long-term relationship with Sarah Reger reportedly since 2010. Since ‘New Mansa’ likes to keep his personal life private, there is next to nothing known about the UFC welterweight star’s family life. The details about Reger’s exact birthdate, her education, and her profession remain a mystery to the UFC fans.

Nevertheless. Joaquin Buckley and his girlfriend have been seen in public together multiple times, even during sports awards events. Although they’re not married, Reger and the welterweight star are not the only ones in their family. Let’s take a look at that front.

Do Joaquin Buckley and Sarah Reger have kids?

Yes, Joaquin Buckley and his girlfriend Sarah Reger have a child, a boy named Isaiah. If we can make some calculations, since Reger and Buckley have been together since 2010, we could assume that their son is no more than fourteen years old because just like his mother, details about him are also unavailable in the public domain.

In addition to that, his son’s age could be narrowed down further based on an emotional 2022 social media post by Buckley, where he promised he would always provide for Isaiah and his mother, and vowed never to fail him, his kid seems to be around six to eight years old.

Reger, it must be noted, has been with Buckley since before he started his pro-fighting career in 2014, at the age of 20. This could mean that the couple met when ‘New Mansa’ was around 16 years old, which probably means Reger and Buckley are high school sweethearts and have been together at least since the UFC star’s school days.

She has been with him through every step of his martial arts journey, proving yet again the adage that behind every successful man, there is a woman. But before they met, Buckley had quite a childhood filled with loss and grief.

Joaquin Buckley’s early life and background

Joaquin Buckley had a rough childhood. The welterweight had to overcome a lot on his way to becoming a MMA star. The UFC welterweight’s struggles started right from his childhood as he never knew his father.

And thus the burden of raising ‘New Mansa’ fell on the shoulders of his mother. She raised him as a single mother alone in the metropolis of St. Louis, Missouri. Alas, tragedy struck Buckley again when he was just a young boy, as his mother passed away due to a heart condition when he was in sixth grade.

After that, Buckley was looked after by his grandmother. And it must be said she did a commendable job raising the future UFC star, undoubtedly playing a role in molding him into the man he is today. This means there is not one but three women who played a big role in the Missouri native, becoming one of the most successful men in his profession.
