Along with the passing days, the fans of Jon Jones will only feel the heat as their superstar is all set for his Octagon return at UFC 285. ‘Bones’ had last stepped in the Octagon against fellow Light Heavyweight, Dominick Reyes, on 9 February 2020, where he defended his title. But, following his win, ‘Bones’ vacated the Light Heavyweight title in September 2020 and left the UFC to return as a Heavyweight.

A lot of facts like these are known by most ‘Bones’ fans. But there has been very little light on the personal life of Jones. Also, ‘Bones’ has almost never been vocal about his personal relationships, unlike UFC Lightweight Dustin Poirier or former rival Glover Teixeira. Understandably, the count of fans having knowledge about his personal life is considerably lower than the ones with knowledge of his professional career.

But as far as reports are concerned, Jon Jones actually had a relationship with a woman. However, fans were quite confused about whether she was Jones‘s wife or not.

Jessie Moses was born to her mother, Sheila Ryan, on 12 September 1987. But there was no information found regarding her paternal identity. She was born in Endicott, New York, and also attended Endicott High School for her initial education.

After schooling, she also joined Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York, for her degree in Political Science. Moses didn’t opt for a career. Instead, she became a full-time stay-at-home parent dedicated to raising her kids after marriage. Her ex-husband used to work as a bouncer and also trained in MMA to become a professional.

How did Jon Jones meet Jessie Moses?

‘Bones’ met his future love during their time at Endicott High School. Moses also attended the same institution and a relationship between the two developed in 2005. However, this term of their relationship didn’t last long.

Soon after, ‘Bones’ was reported to be dating a different woman, but that relationship, too, couldn’t hold strong for long. Jones split up with his partner reportedly after a few years to reunite with Moses. Since then, the couple had been together until ‘Bones’ made it public that Moses had left him forever in late 2021. This announcement came after Jones got into trouble with the law for alleged domestic assault.

Post the incident, the fighter came forward to declare that he would stay away from alcohol as the circumstances got too turbulent in his personal life.

Do Jon Jones and Jessie Moses have kids?

The answer to this question can be given perfectly. Despite never marrying his fiance Moses, Jon Jones has three daughters with her. His eldest daughter, Leah, was born in 2008, followed by the birth of his two other daughters, Carmen Nicole Jones in 2009 and Olivia Haven Jones in 2013.

Jones is a loving father and once talked about his daughters stating, “With the girls being such a young age, not seeing them for even two weeks, I miss out on a lot.”

He also revealed, “They change so much in that short amount of time. We Skype every day. I make funny videos for them to see daddy.”

Is Jon Jones still married?

Jon Jones was never married. However, a lot of people mistake Jessie Moses for his wife. Jones had been engaged to Moses for a span of 9 years. ‘Bones’ reportedly proposed to Moses on Easter in 2013 and got engaged shortly.

But, after a few years of regular life, rumors started to encircle about instances of domestic violence between the two.

In February 2022, ‘Bones’ took to Twitter and publically announced in a now-deleted tweet, “My fiancée left me about two months ago, today she finalized that she won’t be coming back. If you are a Jon Jones hater, have a toast, I feel like sh*t.”

Jones was arrested by the police following a case of domestic assault in September 2021. ‘Bones’ had reportedly got annoyed with Moses and started assaulting her physically after his return from a friend’s night out. Her youngest daughter made a 911 call out of fear, which led to his arrest.

Later, Moses revealed that Jones had caught her hair to prevent her from leaving but didn’t hit her. The UFC boss, Dana White, had also given out his opinion about this incident, stating that the “UFC will see how the matter plays out legally”.

However, there was no extra penalty levied on Jones by the UFC regarding his 2021 arrest. ‘Bones’ had also bumped his head on the bonnet of one of the police vehicles that arrived to arrest him.

But leaving all his dark past behind, ‘Bones’ will be taking the Octagon once again on March 5, 2023. Will you also be one of the fans cheering for him?
