Henry Cejudo Wife Ana Karolina, Kids, Modelling Career & More

The legacy of Henry Cejudo is set in stone. A rare breed, he stands among the few warriors to have claimed UFC gold in two weight classes. Add an Olympic gold medal to the mix, and you have a resume that speaks volumes. But Cejudo’s rise wasn’t paved with gold. The son of Mexican immigrants, he grew up watching his mother juggle multiple jobs just to put food on the table.

Life was tough, but so was he. Wrestling became his ticket out, and he turned grit into greatness. From Olympic glory to MMA dominance, ‘Triple C’ has conquered it all inside the cage. But outside of it? His heart belongs to one person—Ana Karolina. Who is she and how did their story begin? Let’s dive in!

Who is Henry Cejudo’s wife?

Behind every great fighter is a support system, and for Henry Cejudo, that rock is Ana Karolina. A Brazilian model from Campinas, São Paulo, she also studied environmental management at Unicamp, one of Latin America’s most prestigious universities. At the moment, she resides in Arizona with Cejudo and their lovely family.

The pair reportedly met through a mutual friend, keeping their romance private for quite some time. Then, in November 2020, the world finally got a glimpse of their love story when they announced that they were together. But that was just the beginning.

In 2021, ‘Triple C’ finally bent the knee as he shared the update on his Instagram account with the caption, “Many of you may think this is a level change for takedown but this is how I proposed. Cant wait till America is born @anakarolinafr”

A double celebration, their engagement, and pregnancy announcement rolled into one caused a lot of frenzy among the fandom. The two finally tied the knot on September 17, 2021, and since then, their family has grown with the addition of their children!

How many kids do Henry Cejudo and Ana Karolina have?

Ana and Henry Cejudo are the proud parents of two children, a daughter named America Maria Cejudo, and their son, Enzo Carlos Cejudo.

As such, from UFC gold to fatherhood, Cejudo’s life has entered a whole new arena. In 2023, they welcomed their son Enzo into the world. In a post on social media, the former ‘champ-champ’ shared, “Help us welcome our handsome little boy Enzo Carlos Cejudo. Life goes by so quick! I still remember vivid memories of me being a toddler. Welcoming another human with the beautiful little girl that we’ve been blessed with is beyond words.”

But amidst the joy, sorrow lingered. The Cejudo family suffered a devastating loss when ‘Triple C’s sister, Gloria passed away in September 2023 after a valiant two-year battle with cancer.

Henry Cejudo acknowledged the arrival of his son amidst such a difficult time for his family with a message that read, “Losing my sister last month and the birth of our son puts life into perspective. We are all passengers in this world so let’s have the best trip ever!”

Before Enzo, Henry and Ana had welcomed their first child, America Maria Cejudo, in November 2021.

Ana Karolina’s profession and modeling career

While Henry Cejudo made his name in the Octagon, Ana Karolina carved her own path in the world of fashion. A model and Instagram influencer, she has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the Brazilian fashion industry.

One of her most notable partnerships is with Wella Professionals Brasil, a leading beauty brand specializing in hair care and styling. But that’s not all. Ana also works closely with NIOXIN, a company known for clinically proven hair treatments. In addition, she has been the face of Sebastian Professional Brasil, solidifying her presence in the industry.

From runways to social media campaigns, Ana’s career is thriving. With thousands of followers on Instagram, she seamlessly blends the world of high fashion with the everyday realities of motherhood effortlessly.

With Ana by his side, two beautiful children, and a future still unwritten, Henry Cejudo’s story is far from over. After a year away from the cage where he suffered a loss to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 298, ‘Triple C’ will return to action to take on Song Yadong at UFC Fight Night 252. The 38-year-old is currently on a 2-fight skid, raising the question, will a loss mean another retirement for Cejudo? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
