With a record of seven victories and only one defeat, Jamey-Lyn Horth’s career is kickstarting her career at the highest pedestal in the MMA world. Rising the flyweight rankings Lyn Horth’s career started with the UFC when she faced another debutant, Hailey Cowan, in 2023. Her next challenge? It’s none other than Miranda Maverick, who is riding a three-fight winning streak and is on the way to cement her status as a ranked opponent. Regardless, Horth’s career trajectory has been nothing but an impressive curve because she was planning to become a soccer player and found MMA amusing.

In her journey to reach the pinnacle of her MMA career, there is one man who has supported her from the very beginning—her husband. Ahead of her upcoming clash against Maverick, let’s take a closer look at Horth’s relationship status.

Meet Kasey Smith, Jamey-Lyn Horth’s husband and coach

Born and brought up in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada, Jamey-Lyn Horth had a very keen interest in soccer. She initially started her athletic journey by embracing soccer. After playing in multiple cities, Lyn Horth tried martial arts to enhance her soccer skills, but the opposite happened as the British Columbia native found a new calling in combat sports, since then, she has never looked back on her career path and it can be all thanks to her husband Kasey Smith.

It is rather unknown when the fighter tied the knot, but she never shies away from talking about her husband, Kasey Smith. While having a conversation with ‘The Squamish chief”, Lyn Horth thanked Smith for all of his support and asserted that his hard work as the chief instructor and owner of Sound Martial Arts has made their life easier, “It was just nice that we all sort of built this place together, that we can grow into and that my husband can enjoy. It was kind of like a big thank you to him for all his time and effort.” Said Horth.

Kasey Smith is the chief instructor of his own martial arts academy and he holds a black belt in martial arts. In addition to that he is a UFC coach who specifically coaches Lyn Horth. Well, now that we know about their relationship status, do they have any kids? Let us find out.

Does Lyn Horth have children?

Well, there’s a very simple answer to this question, and that is a no. The couple has yet to plan on having kids as they want to embrace their MMA journey. However, this doesn’t mean that she isn’t fond of kids. The Squamish fighter loves to spend time with the local kids training them in soccer and other sports. It’s her own way of giving back to the community that helped her so much, “Before I became a fighter, I was a soccer player, so I’ve worked a lot with local soccer girls and I actually do a lot with the local hockey community as well,” said Horth.

She further added, “I think just from my experience … growing up here in Squamish, I played every sport you could think of, and I always had volunteer coaches and people that were always there to push me and support me along the way. If I could be that for those kids, or I could be that for a kid, or two kids, whatever it may be, it’s just such a great feeling knowing that I’m able to give back something that was given to me my whole career.”

Regardless, the fighter will be looking to gain a victory at the UFC Tampa. What are your thoughts on Jamey-Lyn Horth as a fighter? State your thoughts in the comments below.
