WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is widely regarded as one of boxing’s biggest stars. The undefeated Baltimore native has made a significant impact on the sport, solidifying his place among the best fighters in the game. Yet, while his accomplishments in the ring are well-documented, aspects of his personal life remain less familiar to some boxing fans—such as his relationship with Vanessa Posso.
Posso, of course, is not only Davis’ girlfriend but also the mother of his children. As Davis prepares to defend his title against WBA super featherweight champion Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, here’s everything you need to know about the woman by his side.
Who is Vanessa Posso? Is she still with Gervonta Davis?
Vanessa Posso made her name in the boxing world after she started dating the champ, Gervonta Davis. But being with one of the best boxers in the world did not stop her from achieving success of her own. She did not let Davis’s popularity overshadow her. According to Famous Birthdays, Posso was born on May 30, 1988, and is currently 36 years old.
Posso is an Instagram model and influencer with a fan following of over 700,000 on the platform. She has also entered the world of business and has her own Jewelry brand, RichKidz, which specializes in body chains and sterling silver jewelry. The couple is not married as of now but has been in a relationship for a long time. According to reports, they have been dating since January 2022.
How many kids do Vanessa Posso and Gervonta Davis have?
Vanessa Posso and Gervonta Davis share two children, a daughter and a son. Their daughter, Giovanna, was born in October 2021, while their son, Gianni Bryant Davis, arrived on August 14, 2024. Notably, while Gianni is Davis’ only son, Posso has an older daughter from a previous relationship. She shares 12-year-old Jada Milan with rapper Suga J from their time together.
Controversial past between Vanessa Posso and Gervonta Davis
Gervonta Davis and Vanessa Posso’s relationship has been marked by controversy, with legal issues casting a shadow over their history. The first controversy between the couple made headlines when Gervonta Davis confessed to having cheated on his girlfriend. And took to Instagram to make some bold claims about himself. And these claims by Davis started an online feud between his girlfriend Posso and Ashley Burgos, the girl he was cheating with allegedly. The online feud went on to such an extent that the two challenged each other to meet in LA.
The most recent incident occurred in December 2022 when Davis was arrested in Broward County, Florida, for allegedly striking Posso during an altercation. Police reports stated that Davis used a “closed hand type slap,” leaving Posso with a small abrasion on her upper lip. However, Posso later recanted, calling her initial report “unnecessary” and formally requesting that the charges be dropped. Despite her statement, prosecutors initially pursued the case before eventually dropping it months later.
This wasn’t the first time Davis faced domestic violence allegations. In February 2020, he was arrested in Miami for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Andretta Smothers, the mother of his first daughter. A viral video showed him grabbing Smothers at a charity basketball game. That case dragged on for nearly three years before charges were abandoned in December 2022, just weeks before his arrest involving Posso.
Although the legal issues have been resolved, Davis remains a polarizing figure. His talent in the ring keeps him in the spotlight but repeated off-the-ring controversies continue to raise questions about his personal life and public image.
That being said, Gervonta Davis seems to have a complicated relationship with his girlfriend and the mother of his children Vanessa Posso. What are your thoughts on the matter?
