Gym fitness coach and boxer Stefi Cohen was accused of posting nude photos of her ex-boyfriend, Hayden Bowe’s girlfriend.
Stefi Cohen was arrested on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, in Miami, Florida, on a charge of domestic violence battery, as per Miami-Dade County public records and multiple media reports.
The arrest took place in the Brickell district following an alleged altercation with her boyfriend, Steven Shellenberger. She was booked later that evening and released on bail, the amount set at $1,500.
As per court documents, Cohen got physical with her boyfriend in an altercation at their Miami-area home on July 1, 2025, around 12:47 p.m.
Documents further revealed that the alleged victim informed officers that the pair were arguing over their relationship when he discovered that Cohen was recording their conversation with her computer.
The man told officers that he grabbed his phone and put it in his pocket.
Cohen then got physical with him, scratching him on his neck and chest and tearing his pants pocket in an attempt to get at the device.
Documents said that Cohen told a different story, alleging that her boyfriend struck her with a closed fist and scratched her face. But the report reads:
‘based on the fact that the victim in this case is a professional fighter and the allegations made by the defendant claim that she was struck by him with a closed first, there is no physical evidence of injuries on the defendant [Cohen] that supports her allegations.’

However, the police said the victim in the case had injuries consistent with his statement regarding what occurred with the defendant.
Cohen was eventually detained and charged with domestic violence battery.
Stefi Cohen Was Accused Of Hacking Into Her Ex-Boyfriend’s Laptop And Sharing Nude Photos Of His New Girlfriend
Powerlifter and influencer Stefi Cohen was romantically linked to Hayden Bowe, a renowned influencer, co-owner, head coach, and elite powerlifter and weightlifter.
However, their relationship ended after several years had passed.
Some sources have claimed that Stefi and Hayden broke up because he cheated on her with Valentina Lequeux, a friend of Stefi.
When Stefi found out that her business partner and one-time boyfriend had started a relationship with Valentina, she accessed Bowe’s laptop, snagged nude photos of Valentina, and posted them online.
Miami police said that Stefi was arrested, and she even tried to take down an officer while handcuffed and breaking a police car door with her toes.
Officers managed to get Stefanie to Miami-Dade Corrections, where she was charged with felony unauthorized access to a computer, misdemeanor sexual cyberharassment, misdemeanor criminal mischief, and resisting arrest without violence.
Cohen was released after posting a $3,300 bond. There was a standard stay-away order for her regarding contact with Hayden and his girlfriend, Valentina.
In August 2023, Bowe’s request for a domestic violence restraining order against Cohen was denied.
That came after Bowe filed a lawsuit in March 2023 to compel the sale of the Coconut Grove house he had purchased in July 2019.
According to county records, in April 2020, he brought Cohen in as a joint owner with the right of survivorship.
Bowe’s court filing says that after they broke up, he moved out.
However, his lawsuit claims that Cohen refuses to move out, refuses to respond to requests to sell the property, or grants him access to the property that county records indicate still belongs to both.
