The greatest support for any fighter comes from their family. Be it their parents, significant others, siblings, or children, just like Dom Toretto from the ‘Fast and Furious’ saga, family motivates the fighters like nothing else.

UFC’s Anthony Hernandez’s wife Kristie Hernandez- Marriage, profession, & more
Unlike Hernandez, who comes from the small town of Dunnigan, his wife hails from Sacramento, California. While the timeline for when the couple began dating is unavailable, it’s well-known that the two tied the knot in 2017. Coming to 2025, the couple will have spent more than 8 years together.
On her birthday, back on September 26, 2023, the #12 middleweight prospect shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. He wished his wife with a few slides of their pictures together. And in the caption, ‘Fluffy’ wrote a heartfelt message for Kristie. But in 2024, the romantic lights were pretty bright as he dropped a picture of a red rose set beside a picture of the couple together.
As far as her profession is concerned, Kristie Hernandez manages ‘Fluffy’ and his merchandise store called Team Fluffy MMA. Prior to UFC Seattle, Hernandez had a conversation with Cageside Press and revealed why he had his wife as his manager. He said, “It’s clutch as hell, because I don’t got to do it. And I don’t even know how to use a computer, I’m not going to lie. If you try to G-Mail me and sh*t, I probably won’t reply back, because that’s not my style my guy. I don’t really watch TV, I kind of just kick it and fight people.”

How many kids do Anthony and Kristie Hernandez have?
The Hernandez family has 4 children. His social media profiles, and Kristie’s too, are filled with visuals of their beautiful family of six. They have 2 daughters and 2 sons. Their eldest daughter is named Catalina Hernandez. But the details about the other children have remained a well-guarded secret. But Mrs. Hernandez did reveal the schooling patterns of the kids.
Back in 2023, during the back-to-school season, Kristie dropped an Instagram post where the children were ready for their first day of school. She wrote, “First day of school for ALL the kids 🥹❤️ 7th, 5th, 2nd & Kindergarten 📚✏️📓 this mama gets a break 👏🏻😂.” This meant that the youngest one should now be around 6-7 years old, and their younger son should be 8 or 9. Meanwhile, the older son should be 11 or 12, and Catalina should be around 15. And all of them must be cheering the loudest during their father’s fights.
