Brian Ortega is set to compete against Diego Lopes this weekend at UFC 303. That being said, he has a life outside of the cage; specifically an eventful love life. In the past, he has been associated with fellow UFC star Tracy Cortez. However, Ortega isn’t single, because he does have a partner following the split with Cortez.

Brian Ortega has created as much noise outside the Octagon with his relationships as much as he’s made inside the Octagon as a fighter. Hence, most people, after the Tracy Cortez fiasco, don’t seem to know that he’s married. Now, let’s take a look into these details.

Meet Stephanie Ortega: Brian Ortega’s wife

Following some failed relationships, Brian Ortega claimed to have found himself in a dark place. But guess what? He would come out of that dark place and get married to his wife, Stephanie (Roberts) Ortega, with whom he had separated in the past. Ortega would talk about how he came about the decision to get his family back together, but when he did, his life got back to normalcy.

“I went to church and I found God. A year ago, I was a broken man, and now, today, I’m married. I got my kids with me. I got my family back,” Ortega told ‘Full Send MMA’. But who is Stephanie Roberts? Well, Not much is known about her but reports claim that she graduated from high school in 2009 from West High School and went to El Camino College to study kinesiology.

Brian Ortega mentioned his children during the interview as he has two sons with his wife, Stephanie, who seemed happy to get back as she’s been expressing her happiness about getting back with her husband in recent Instagram posts. Meanwhile, talking about Ortega’s past relationship, what led to his and Tracy Cortez’s break up? Let’s have a look, shall we?

What happened between Tracy Cortez and Brian Ortega

Their break-up was far from peaceful and was very hostile. The reasons behind their break-up are not disclosed to the public. However, it was certainly quite ugly. Right after the word spread about their separation, Ortega made a bold post on X. In the post, he teased that he had broken up with her and was glad.

He said, “Everyone out here talking bout I fumbled. Y’all must not know the rules of the game. When you drop the ball on accident that’s a fumble, but when you throw it away on purpose. That’s called a complete pass. Top G sh*t!”

Meanwhile, Cortez did not bluntly diss her ex-boyfriend but did share that the break-up was necessary for her as it made her realize the importance of having a personal life. In an interview, she said, “It’s one of those things where I notice where if there is a photo of me, it might go viral. Why? I don’t know, but just like a simple selfie, it went viral.”

Post that, Cortez once again made it to the MMA headlines after posting a selfie with Paulo Costa. While the photo was innocuous, fans came to the conclusion that there was a romantic relationship between the two. She clarified that she was training in Brazil with Costa and his team. And that’s when the photo was clicked.

The breakup between Cortez and Ortega is quite infamous in the MMA sphere. But as UFC 303 approaches, Brian Ortega is solely focused on one person, and that is Diego Lopes. Do you think ‘T-City’ can get his hand raised against the 29-year-old? Comment your thoughts below.
