The middleweight division has had its fair share of luminaries, but former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya stands out above the rest in terms of stardom. The two-time titleholder has been with the organization for a long time. After reclaiming the belt twice and successfully defending it multiple times, it’s time for ‘StyleBender’ to take the well-deserved break he’s earned. And during a recent Q&A session with his fans, the former middleweight champion revealed his plans post the UFC, and it seems like he might be ready for a family!

Israel Adesanya in a lively interaction with the fans and in his recent escapade, was asked by a curious fan about his plans after bidding adieu to the realm of combat sports, to which the former champ gave a pretty short but sweet answer. The͏͏ fighter͏͏ uploaded͏͏ a͏͏ cute͏͏ video͏͏ to͏͏ his͏͏ Instagram͏͏ story,͏͏ capturing͏͏ a͏͏ father-son͏͏ interaction.͏͏ Along͏͏ with͏͏ the͏͏ video,͏͏ he͏͏ posed͏͏ a͏͏ question,͏͏ then͏͏ offered͏͏ his͏͏ own͏͏ answer,͏͏ writing,͏͏ “Be͏͏ a͏͏ great͏͏ dad.” 

Israel Adesanya has some great plans for his kids. The New Zealand native doesn’t believe in the traditional schooling approach. He believes that traditional teaching is outdated without any real exposure to the real world.

So, will ‘Izzy’ teach his kids himself? Not exactly, according to the former two-times middleweight champion, he would hire such personal coaches, who will tutor his kids on the real aspects of the world. In addition to that, Adesanya plans on making his kids great fighters as well. In short, Adesanya wants his kids to be as interactive as possible.

Well, even though ‘Stylebender’ has some great plans for his future, his love life is not as simple as his last relationship left him broken to his core.

The time when Israel Adesanya opened up about his relationship

Is the former middleweight champion in a running relationship? Well, the short answer to this question is a big no! Israel Adesanya has not been in a relationship for a long time now as he likes to keep his peace of mind with himself. His last relationship with his former flame, Charlotte Powdrell ended in such a manner that it might have rattled Adesanya to the core. His longtime girlfriend, Powdrell broke up with him back in 2020 when Adesanya was already struggling with depressive thoughts due to continuous fights.

In͏͏ addition,͏͏ Powdrell͏͏ sued͏͏ Adesanya͏͏ for͏͏ financial͏͏ support,͏͏ claiming͏͏ that͏͏ she͏͏ had͏͏ been͏͏ with͏͏ him͏͏ during͏͏ his͏͏ struggles͏͏ and͏͏ deserved͏͏ a͏͏ fair͏͏ share͏͏ of͏͏ his͏͏ earnings.͏͏ She͏͏ demanded͏͏ a͏͏ substantial͏͏ half͏͏ of͏͏ Adesanya’s͏͏ income͏͏ in͏͏ the͏͏ lawsuit. This has forced the former champion to make sure that he stays out of relationship troubles, “My dream, for me, is to just attain peace. Attain peace. And that was a great quote by my friend, Jamie, rest in love. He always, that’s his quote, his slogan, ‘Attain peace.’ He’s like I’m going to train to attain peace. And even me. That’s why I’m single now. I like peace. I love peace in my life,” said Adesanya in an interview with the media.

Interestingly, Adesanya’s relationship troubles were so bad that even Sean O’Malley came forward to address it, “Izzy’s ex-girlfriend, they’re not married, right, wants half of his earnings. It’s hard to say, maybe they were together for many years, and she supported him in various ways, but wanting half seems unreasonable.”

The former two-times middleweight champion might stay away from the relationship before announcing his wedding altogether. Regardless, what’s your take on the hubbub? State your thoughts in the comments below.
