Tom Aspinall, the British heavyweight contender, has seldom failed to impress the fighting community with his fights. The ‘Honey Badger’ even went on to grab a hold of the UFC interim heavyweight championship belt. Without a doubt, his family played a vital role in the success story of the Britisher. Even though he is yet to compete for the HW title, he is the champion of his household.
The world of mixed martial arts has often wondered about Aspinall’s personal life. Details about Aspinall’s Octagon life are often discussed on the internet. Today, let’s get to know a tad bit more about his family.

Aspinall began his MMA career at the young age of seven. He found his passion for martial arts through his father, Andy Aspinall, who is the founder of the ‘Aspinall Jiu-Jitsu’ school. Aspinall made his UFC debut in 2020 against Jake Collier. He won the fight via TKO in the first round.
The British heavyweight is married but prefers to maintain a low profile regarding his personal life. While his wife, Justynagro Aspinall, leaves comments on his social media posts, she prefers to stay away from the limelight. As per several reports, his wife hails from Poland.
But there is another story that is guaranteed to make you chuckle. Back when the English mixed martial artist became the interim heavyweight champion, he rushed in to dial his wife’s number and let her in on the big news. But little did he know that she wouldn’t even pick up his call. He recalled the story in the press conference, and needless to say, extracted a bit of gags from the crowd.

How many kids does Tom Aspinall have?
Despite his reputation in the Octagon as a ruthless fight finisher, Aspinall highlights his softer side on social media when it comes to his family. The British fighter is the father of three children- two twin sons and a daughter. He often shares updates with his children on his social media. And with captions like “It’s impossible to beat a man that’s already won #mywhy #whatreallymattersinlife,” Aspinall is a devoted and proud father.
Aspinall is a pretty good dad, given his patience with his autistic son. Although he admitted that raising an autistic kid was quite a tough job, he was not backing out. Contrary to many people’s beliefs, Aspinall even thinks that there is nothing wrong with his son. He’s simply different. In an interview with BBC Sport, the interim champ said, “I didn’t want there to be something wrong with my son. But when you start to learn about autism, you learn there’s not something wrong with them. It’s just a different way that their brains work.”
