Who Is Zhang Weili’s Boyfriend/Husband? Is She Married or Single?

UFC 312 is set to feature a couple of title bouts with Zhang Weili returning to put her belt up for grabs for the fourth time in her UFC run. Scheduled for the co-main event, she’ll be standing opposite the undefeated Tatiana Suarez inside the Octagon, hoping to edge past yet another title contender and extend her run as the strawweight champion.

Zhang Weili is one of those UFC fighters who isn’t necessarily the most outgoing individual. Given that the focus has always been on ‘Magnum’s impressive performances, she rarely shares anything about her personal life, making it difficult to determine if she has a partner or not. But that’s what we’re going to talk about in this article today. Let’s dive into it.

Zhang Weili’s husband/boyfriend

Zhang Weili’s private life hardly comes under the spotlight thanks to her attempts to keep it away from public attention, as we’ve mentioned earlier. As of now, no information has surfaced in the public domain that concerns her love or married life. The common belief is that Weili’s currently not in any kind of a romantic relationship, as her sole focus is on expanding her career and remaining at the top of her game. So it’s safe to say that the UFC strawweight champion, at the moment, is single.

The Chinese MMA star’s social media profiles give a decent glimpse into what her life is like. Her Instagram, for example, is all about fighting or training. She also catches up and spends time with fellow UFC stars and shares them on her socials. As good as Zhang Weili is as a fighter, she’s a fan of the sport at heart as well.

There’s also the occasional selfie where she’s sporting a new hairstyle or something flashy from her wardrobe to pique the fans’ interest. Apart from that, ‘Magnum’ is all business. Now, let’s discover the details of the next aspect of Zhang Weili’s private life!

Does the UFC champ have kids?

With no disclosed relationships, Zhang Weili doesn’t really seem like she has any children of her own. Her love for martial arts and her goal to become the ultimate best have stopped Zhang Weili from pursuing anything else at the moment. While there’s not much to talk about on this front, we do have some details about her family, especially her parents and siblings.

Zhang Weili doesn’t really come from a family of athletes since her father worked a regular blue-collar job, especially as a miner, and her mother was simply a homemaker. Her brother, though, used to trade gold, and that was his occupation until he started working for the gym in China where ‘Magnum’ trains. But to understand how it all started for Weili and what led her to become the fighter she is today, let’s learn about her life growing up.

Zhang Weili’s early life

Born in the Hebei Province in 1989, Zhang Weili, even though her parents didn’t fight professionally, introduced her to martial arts, and in her own words, she found herself always surrounded by combat sports. Additionally, she took a liking to martial arts by drawing inspiration from Kung Fu movies and started training at the tender age of six. In a 2022 interview, Weili revealed, “I trained traditional Chinese martial arts and Sanda when I was a child for as long as I can remember. It was my parents who introduced martial arts to me and encouraged me to learn how to defend myself. I was born in Hebei, Handan, a place that is famous for Taichi.”

The UFC strawweight champion further added that she competed in Sanda, which is a Chinese form of kickboxing, but that career didn’t last too long as she suffered a serious injury and had to retire due to it. But then, she didn’t choose to stop fighting because Zhang Weili explored various career paths. Due to a back injury, she started working jobs as a hotel receptionist, cashier, sales assistant, bodyguard, and even as a teacher.

Despite advice from others to pursue different avenues, Zhang Weili found none of these roles as fulfilling as her passion for professional fighting. However, everything changed for her when he made her professional debut in MMA back in February 2013 and since then, there has been nothing but a joy ride for the UFC champion, and that two a 2-time holder of the 115-pound gold. Now, it remains to be seen if ‘Magnum’ can continue her dominating run in the aftermath of this weekend’s title fight.
