Stephanie Roberts graduated from West High School in 2009 and was in college till 2012. She has a degree in Kinesiology, meaning the science of human body movement. Apart from this, Roberts has managed to keep her life private, and hence not much is open to public knowledge. The duration of Ortega’s relationship with Roberts is also not known but they are currently divorced now.
Roberts and Ortega had two sons together, Caleb and Joshua. In a video posted by ESPN MMA, he appeared to have a great bond with his kids as he got them along and made them meet his friends during the Ultimate Fighter season.
In 2020, reports surrounding Ortega and UFC women’s flyweight contender Tracy Cortez emerged. With an impressive career record of 11 wins and 1 loss, she is currently on a five-fight win streak in the UFC and has remained undefeated in the promotion.
They gave glimpses of their relationship to their fans on their Instagram accounts. In fact, Cortez actively supported Ortega during his fights, including his UFC 266 bout against Alexander Volkanovski. However, for reasons unknown, they ended their relationship in early 2023, which also led to deleting each other’s pictures from their social media accounts. Regardless, Roberts and Ortega continue to co-parent and Ortega continues to share insights from the times he spends as a father on social media. Recently, Ortega decided to tie the knot with his wife Stephanie.

Martin Ortega, Brian’s father, has been his inspiration to become a fighter. As a family, they had to fight poverty but it was his father, Martin, who instilled the fighting spirit in him. In an interview with Fighters Only Magazine, Brian said, “My dad dreamed of being a fighter himself, so he gets to live his life through me. It’s a pretty cool feeling. He was dreaming about being a boxer, but he was one of the baddest street fighters you’ll ever meet.” Now that he has his family back, Ortega is solely focused on becoming the same kind of father Martin was to him.
