The majority of people in Australia take a keen interest in the sport of Rugby. ‘The Kangaroos’ has also bagged two out of the ten Rugby World Cups to date. Hence, it’s quite understandable why several Australian kids choose rugby as their initial sporting activity. The noted UFC featherweight king, Alexander Volkanovski, stands as proof of this fact. Most UFC fans know ‘Volk’ as one of the most dominant MMA fighters today. But he has also spent a number of years hustling in the rugby fields. Another Australian UFC fighter known for his superb striking also packs a background story similar to ‘The Great’.

The fighter being talked about here is none other than the famed UFC Welterweight, Jack Della Maddalena. Reports say that Maddalena also chose the rugby fields as the initial sport of his choice. But UFC fans might not know a lot about him except for his awesome in-octagon skills. His undefeated 5-0 record in the UFC has also got a large chunk of them fixing their eyes on him. However, Maddalena doesn’t give out a lot about his personal life in his public appearances. His Instagram followers might know that currently, he is a married man with a wife named Michelle Della Maddalena who was known as Michelle Hein previously. But, a lot of their knowledge might be limited to this only. So today let’s make an attempt to serve those fans who are seeking some more information about ‘JDM’s’ married life and family.

When did Jack Della Maddalena & his wife Michelle start dating?

A deeper look at most UFC fighter’s lives will reveal that most of them were already in a relationship with their wives prior to tying the knot. Maddalena’s story also isn’t much different. But much like her husband, Michelle also doesn’t put out too much in public about her personal life. Thus, nothing can be said about how the couple might have met for the first time.

However, Michelle chose to announce the initiation of her relationship with ‘JDM’ through her Facebook account. This is why a number of fans might know that the couple has been in a relationship since December 2016.

However, they probably chose to build up a strong bond between themselves before stepping into the next phase of their relationship. Jack and Michelle continued their relationship for six years before they decided to tie the knot. The couple finally got married on 29 March 2022 at a private ceremony.

Although ‘the Perth native’ shared a few photos from the night of his marriage as Instagram posts, there’s no information about where this ceremony took place. However, a lot of fans might assume that the place is located somewhere in Maddalena’s home country of Australia.

Does the couple have any children?

Both the Instagram accounts of Jack and his wife Michelle bear testimony to the fact that the couple already has a third member in their family. A number of reports also reveal Jack and Michelle’s only child to date is named Franco Della Maddalena. Although most reports don’t give any information about Franco’s age, one of Michelle’s Instagram uploads can provide the audience with a clear idea about the same.

A 28 April 2023 snap on Michelle’s Instagram account showcased the ‘JDM’ family enjoying some quality time on a beach. In the caption to the post, Michelle wrote, “9 months of our darling boy” which will definitely be enough for the fans to calculate that Franco was born around July 2022.

Looking at the Instagram snaps in both Jack and Michelle’s Instagram accounts, many of them might say that ‘JDM’ is also a caring father. A lot of fans also might be witnessing this side of him for the first time today.

When was Michelle Della Maddalena subjected to distasteful remarks by her husband’s opponent?

Most UFC fans are aware of the fact that the UFC Welterweight Joaquin ‘New Mansa’ Buckley often goes dirty while taking jibes at his potential opponents. Reportedly, Buckley has been eyeing a fight against Maddalena for a few months now. ‘New Mansa’ also took a jibe at ‘JDM’ through an ‘X’ update in order to lure him into accepting the fight. However, Buckley didn’t bother to follow any ethics and dragged his wife into their rivalry.

On 14 July, 2023, Buckley posted a video of a girl who resembled Michelle. Most fans might have already realized what exactly Buckley tried to imply with the video. But, it hasn’t been of much help to the fighter who got knocked out by Chris Curtis at UFC 282.

‘JDM’ is all set to take on the famed UFC Welterweight, Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland at UFC Fight Night 227 on 16 September. But as of now, Buckley still stands without any confirmation of his wish to fight Maddalena.
