Former UFC champion Chael Sonnen has been married to his wife, Brittany, for over ten years, and they have two children together.
The UFC fighter met his wife during a fight in Portland, describing it as love at first sight, although he awkwardly failed to make eye contact during their first encounter.
However, Sonnen arranged a second meeting, and they quickly began dating afterward.
Years later, the couple’s marriage remained strong, and they built a wonderful family of four together.
Though Brittany prefers to keep her life out of the spotlight, she often attends public events with her husband.

Brittany experienced motherhood for the first time when she gave birth to her first child, Theo, on June 4, 2015, after three years of their marriage.
Unfortunately, the couple faced the tragic loss of their second child, Blauna Dian, just five days after her birth on August 17, 2016.
The baby was born 10 weeks premature, and both the baby and mother were infected with listeria, which led to her demise.
Both Chael and Brittany felt devastated by the loss of their child, leading Chael to take a break from fighting for a while.
A year later, in 2017, the couple welcomed their third child, Pria, adding to their family of three.
Moreover, both Chael and Brittany often share photos from family outings and of their kids on social media.
