Brock Lesnar, the multi-time WWE champ and former UFC heavyweight champion, made a name for himself in the sporting community. But in the late 2000s, he got sidelined because of diverticulitis. Now, it’s his daughter, Mya Lynn Lesnar, who’s making the waves in the sporting world. The former UFC champion has never really talked about his children. ‘The Beast’ previously stated, “I just don’t put myself out there to the fans and p——– my private life to everybody. In today’s day and age, with the internet and cameras and cell phones, I just like being old school and living in the woods and living my life. I came from nothing, and at any moment, you can go back to having nothing.”

But now, with Mya Lesnar getting the spotlight from all directions, it’s impossible for us not to talk about the rising star. Of course, being the daughter of a celebrated sportsman isn’t easy. But Mya has ensured to rise with her own efforts and accolades. So, without any further ado, let’s get to know a bit more about Lesnar’s daughter, starting with some lesser-known facts about her mother.

Who is Mya Lesnar’s mother?

Mya Lesnar was born to the WWE legend and his former partner, Nicole McClain, on April 10, 2002. McClain is an American fitness model and has appeared on many TV shows and magazines. Well, she was highlighted in ‘Bored of Education’ by Dave Nestler as the Artist Model. She’s also a writer with a keen interest in photography and hunting, who made her interest known with an appearance on ‘Deer & Deer Hunting’ on NBC Sports. To top it all off, she’s a cancer survivor who has played her role in spreading awareness of the much-feared disease. 

However, Brock Lesnar’s relationship with Nicole McClain didn’t stand the test of time. The couple got engaged in 2002 but eventually called it off in the mid-2000s. While Lesnar later went on to marry again, the question remains: Does Mya have any siblings from his second marriage? Let’s take a closer look.

Does Mya Lesnar have a twin? Siblings & more

Yes, Mya Lesnar does have a twin brother named Luke. But he isn’t the only sibling. Mya has two half-brothers—Turk and Duke. These two names are the children of Brock Lesnar and his second partner, ‘Sable’ Rena Marlette. Both Turk and Duke are ice hockey players. In the May 2025 draft, Duke was even selected by the Medicine Hat Tigers for the Western Hockey League. 

‘Sable’ and the famed WWE and UFC star don’t really have a biological daughter. But Lesnar does have a stepsister from Marlette’s previous marriage with Wayne Richardson, named Mariah. But that’s enough of the family tree. What about Mya Lesnar’s professional achievements?

What does Mya Lesnar do? Career & record

Coming from an athletic family ensured that Mya Lesnar was also invested in sports. But unlike her father’s martial arts career, Mya chose to stick to the tracks. Her field career commenced in high school when she became the Class AA Minnesota state champion in the year 2019. While studying criminal justice at Arizona State University, she continued training as a shot putter. Later on, she went on to get a transfer to Colorado State University in 2022 and proceeded to break several records. 

Her career wasn’t really free of struggles. Lesnar recently opened up“We don’t have a ton of money, like an SEC school, a Big Ten school. I’m going into this thing ranked No. 1, and we don’t have all the resources. You don’t need fancy things to throw. You need an old shot put and a great coach. None of us need fancy equipment to throw far. We just have a coach that’s all-in.”
