Welterweight stalwart Vicente Luque is better known for his Octagon exploits and for the grit and determination he showcased after returning from a career-threatening brain injury. The 33-year-old has struggled to maintain consistency since making his return in 2023 at UFC Vegas 78, but will be hoping to turn his luck around against Joel Alvarez at UFC Rio.

Let’s keep Vicente Luque‘s professional life on the side because we’re going to talk about his personal life in this article. Did you know that the veteran has always maintained a healthy relationship with his wife and has been together for a long time?

Who Is Carolina Silveira? Vicente Luque’s Wife and Relationship Journey

UFC welterweight Vicente Luque and his wife, Carolina Silveira, have been together since their teenage years. The pair first met when the fighter was just 17 years old. Now it has been more than fifteen years since they got married. Luque and his wife, Carol, tied the knot on March 16, 2019, in a private ceremony that included their friends and family members in a venue in the Federal District of Brasilia. 

The welterweight fighter and his wife are quite active on social media and share their happy moments with the MMA community as well. It was also on Instagram that the couple decided to announce that they were adding a new member to their family.

Vicente Luque & Carolina Silveira’s Kids

Vicente Luque’s family is a happy family of three. He and his wife, Carolina Silveira, have a boy. The couple welcomed their son on May 5, 2021. They named their son Bento, and his arrival was announced with a heartfelt Instagram post by Silveira, revealing how significant his addition to the family was.

In an Instagram post from a few months ago on Carolina Silveira’s birthday, Vicente Luque revealed how family, his son, and his wife, are his first priority. “Thank you Lord for such a privilege to have such a wonderful wife and son!  Happy birthday to the most amazing woman in this world [Carolina] I love you so much darling, thank you for everything you are and everything you do, I would be nothing without you!”

Vicente Luque’s personal life gives him strength, especially his wife and his son, which explains the mental fortitude he’s developed to make a comeback from a severe brain injury. But the question now is about him making a climb up the division and competing amongst the best. His upcoming opponent, Joel Alvarez, is on a roll with a 7-2 record in the UFC, so it surely won’t be a walk in the park for ‘The Silent Assassin.’
