Macy Chiasson reportedly tied the knot with Hannah Leffler on August 21, 2023. Her wife is not an MMA fighter like her, but she is more on the artistic side. Hannah Leffler is a flute professor at the University of Texas in Arlington. Leffler is also a Miyazawa Performing artist and serves as a senior lecturer for flute at the university.

Apart from this, very little is known about the 135-pound fighter’s personal life. However, it is known that she was born in New Orleans on July 27th, 1991, and is 32 years old. She started her journey in MMA at 19 after being bedridden for three months because of a car accident. Apart from MMA, she was a softball player in school and attended Krav Maga classes. Her love for MMA came from her admiration for physical and the mental side of combat.

Now she is a very well-known name in UFC and is happily married to her long-time love. On top of that, their relationship was finally seen as legal in the eyes of the law thanks to POTUS Biden.
