Tai Tuivasa is all set to go up against Marcin Tybura at UFC Fight Night 239 on the 16th of March. The fight was previously supposed to be at UFC 298 but had to be canceled after ‘Bam Bam’ was forced out of the bout thanks to a knee injury but now he’s back with a blast.

You list one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC and surely would find Tai Tuivasa ranked higher on it. The UFC star is the epitome of a slugger and has captivated fans ever since making his promotional debut in 2017. While he has garnered attention due to his explosive fighting style, MMA is not his only love. Despite the Australian fighter’s growing popularity, his private life remains shrouded in mystery, especially his marriage with Brierley Pedro and his new booming love.

Tai Tuivasa officially tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend, Brierley Pedro. But the exact details of their marriage escaped the public eye. Further, the fans are also not aware of when the two started dating and fell in love with each other. Hence, the saga of their love is more intriguing and a well-guarded secret.

The reports have suggested that both go a long way back. Before ‘Bam Bam’ made his mark in the UFC and before he amassed admiration from the fans, Brierley supported him in his dream of fighting inside the Octagon one day. Therefore, when he received the life-altering call from UFC matchmaker Joe Silva in 2016, he broke the news first to Brierley.

However, a report by ABTC in 2022 suggested that the two were no longer together. The reason behind the split also didn’t make the headlines. But it wasn’t soon before the Sydney native started appearing with someone else.

We always improving we always getting better ! ESSSHHHAAAAY,” he wrote as he first publicly introduced Holmes to the fans.

However, the fans are not aware of when the two started dating. The Instagram handle of Holmes suggests that the two crossed paths somewhere last year. Since then, the UFC fighter has been a recurring presence on her handle. The pair have a knack for traveling, as they have shared pictures of traveling to Disneyland, Rome, and, recently, Paris.

Do Tai Tuivasa and Brierley Pedro have kids together?

Interestingly, when the former kickboxer received the call from the UFC, he was already expecting a child. “I’m just about to have a baby, so I’ve got time to think about that,” Tuivasa informed the Herald Sun. In 2017, he and Brierley Pedro were blessed with a son, whom they named Carter.

Tuivasa and Carter share a beautiful and close-knit relationship, as evident by the former’s ardent love for his son. “My son, my world,” he wrote in a caption.

“Happy 6th birthday sorry I can’t be there to celebrate with you but daddy’s gotta work Enjoy your day and be a good boy. I love you,” Tuivasa wrote in another post, expressing his regret for missing his son’s sixth birthday on November 25 last year.

But it seems the two are no longer together despite dating for almost a decade.

Additionally, she and Tuivasa recently launched a new brand named B.A.M., which the latter donned at the UFC 293 presser. Her social media handle also gives a glimpse into their dating life. “Always tired, but never of you,” she wrote in a post. In another, she shared pictures of them enjoying a concert, using the hashtag “#bestdatenightever”. Therefore, love was brewing in Tuivasa’s life, and Millie Elder Holmes is the reason.

However, of late, fans do not see much of Tuivasa and Elder Holmes together. There is no hint of them together on their respective social media which is leading many to speculate the two have separated their ways as well. Next, we’ll see Tuivasa lock horns with Marcin Tybura at UFC Fight Night 239, perhaps we’ll get to know more about his dating life in a post-fight interview. Fans should be on the lookout.
