Raquel Pennington and Tecia Pennington Children: How Many Kids Do the UFC Couple Have Together?

The UFC Women’s bantamweight champion, Raquel Pennington, is set for a career-making title defense against former champion Julianna Pena in the co-main event of UFC 307. With Pena coming back following a two-year hiatus to reclaim her title, it is perhaps the biggest fight in ‘Rocky’s career so far. However, that fight’s in a few days as today we’ll have a look at a more personal aspect of Pennington’s life.

As we all know, Raquel Pennington is married to UFC strawweight Tecia Torres, now known as Tecia Pennington. The two have been together for many years now. The two got married sometime in July 2022 and less than a year later, they welcomed their first child.

Meet Alayah Rose Pennington, Tecia and Raquel Pennington’s daughter

Raquel Pennington and Tecia Torres shared their pregnancy news in excitement back in November 2022. Pennington’s partner was the one carrying the child, most likely through the IVF procedure, as mentioned in Pennington’s post. The two partners finally welcomed their firstborn, Alayah Rose Pennington on 1st June 2023, without having any issues.

Torres often posts about their child on her social media, but there have been no announcements of having a second child as of now. Despite taking a major step in life after becoming parents to the little girl, Pennington still seems focused on her career.

Raquel Pennington is probably giving her daughter the best life as a UFC champion. Along with her UFC fighting partner, things look like they’re pretty smooth, evident from their social media posts. But how did this all start? Well, let’s rewind a bit and explore Pennington’s relationship with Tecia Torres.

More on Tecia and Raquel Pennington’s relationship

The couple met each other during their early 20s and eight years later, they started dating. Since then, Raquel and Tecia have been inseparable, and fans can always witness the latter cornering the bantamweight champion during her fights. Things initially started to get serious when they both decided to move into a new house together just a year after they started dating.

They bought a house in Raquel Pennington’s home state, Colorado. Their union is still going after more than a decade of knowing each other and being able to fight in the same organization has even helped them strengthen their bond. “Our love began unexpectedly. It started as a crush and grew into an amazing love…I am blessed to wake up to you every morning and fall asleep in your arms at night,” Tecia Torres wrote on social media after she accepted Pennington’s proposal.

It’ll be interesting to see if Tecia Torres corners her partner this weekend for the biggest fight of her career because she’s fighting Carla Esparza on the same card as well. It would be a big boost for Raquel Pennington because Julianna Pena is a formidable opponent who loves to finish off her opponents.
