UFC star Israel Adesanya carved out a space for himself because of his flamboyant personality and outgoing poise. As a result, while he swayed everyone with his prolific fighting acumen, he also amassed a huge fan following. However, his outside-the-Octagon exploits also attract similar attention. The fan-favorite fighter’s private life raises curiosity among fans. Similarly, the rumored girlfriend of ‘The Last Stylebender’, Shana Evers, also evokes interest from MMA fans.

The former 2-time middleweight champion is making his way back inside the Octagon on February 1 to headline UFC’s second-ever Fight Night in Saudi Arabia. But before he takes on his opponent, Nassourdine Imavov, let’s dive deep into Adesanya’s personal life, focusing on his rumored girlfriend, who is quite the big deal herself.

There is no concrete information available about when Israel Adesanya and Shana Evers first met each other. While they both follow each other on Instagram, both have shied away from disclosing their supposed relationship. Neither of them has officially confirmed their status, so it’s hard to pinpoint the exact timeline. The only evidence on social media about them being together was when they were partying on a boat. The video of that party surfaced on social media, which only helped substantiate the rumors that they were in a relationship.

The 24-4 record holder liked a post on Evers’ Instagram account on September 1, 2021, and this is the only instance that suggests that their romance brewed around that time. Since then, both have appeared on each other’s social media accounts. Moreover, when we mentioned earlier that Shana Evers is a pretty big deal, we weren’t kidding.

What does Shana Evers do?

Shana Evers is a successful model and owns and runs several businesses as well, her swimsuit brand, Salt Gypsy being one among them. If we take a look at her Instagram bio, it reveals that she also founded Women In Meta, a platform that allows one to create 3D custom avatars. Moreover, she also donned the pages of Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.

The talk of the town is that Shana Evers and Israel Adesanya are indeed dating. After all, the business entrepreneur has appeared quite a few times on Adesanya’s social media posts. However, the mixed martial artist has yet to confirm his relationship status. But what about kids? Are the two parents to any children?

Shana Evers’ daughter

Yes, Shana Evers has a daughter and fans can find the pictures of her daughter all over her Instagram handle. Her name is Egypt Ratumaitavuki, and she’s around 10 years old. However, the identity of her biological father is something that Evers has decided not to reveal to the public. Needless to say, fight fans have also discussed it, but most have concluded that Israel Adesanya isn’t the father.

Meanwhile, Israel Adesanya has never spoken about Shana Evers on a public platform. But if you have been following him long enough, you must know about the troubles he had to go through with his last relationship. And if you don’t know much about it, we’ve got you covered.

Israel Adesanya’s controversial ex-girlfriend Charlotte Powdrell

While details remain sketchy about Israel Adesanya’s dating history, he was once pictured with Charlotte Powdrell in a bathtub, enjoying the bubble bath. Also, he appeared with Powdrell in his post-UFC champion shoot when he claimed the UFC title after defeating Robert Whittaker at UFC 243. There was indeed a time when Powdrell and Adesanya dated each other. However, things turned awry when Powdrell leaked their private chats on the internet.

Reflecting on that, in one of his IG stories, ‘The Last Stylebender’ wrote, “You don’t care about my life cuz you’ve sold info about me, so I don’t care about yours. I don’t even hate, I just don’t care about you. I’ve not been in love with you for a while. In summary, I’m glad this happened.” The separation was already troubling the former middleweight champion, when Powdrell decided to take the matter to the courts and demanded a hefty portion of Adesanya’s wealth. Surprisingly, Shana Evers also appeared to indirectly back Adesanya after his ugly breakup.

In an Instagram, Israel Adesanya’s rumored partner shed light on what she believes is the current mentality of the women, as per her observation.

“I’ve seen countless amount of young girls on Tik Tok teaching their followers on how to have five or more different men on the go that they can take from. What is going on with this world seriously? No, it’s not ok to sleep around, especially these young girls listening to this stupid degrading advice. Where is the self-respect? Canceling out emotions for a transaction. This is what’s happening in the world right now. Feminism movement,” Evers stated on Instagram.

Things eventually worked out for Israel Adesanya, but not in his UFC career, according to his recent record lately. With an aim to prove that he’s still the fighter that he’s shown to be all these years, ‘The Last Stylebender’ will be looking to finally put himself in the winning column when he lands in Saudi Arabia.
