Katie Taylor is the talk of the hour. And that only means one thing: Heightened public attention, whether the shy and quiet boxer likes it or not. And, as one would expect, the community’s intrigue has finally fallen upon her personal life: Who’s her boyfriend? Does she have a husband? Well, we’re here to answer all of your questions. But before we get to the meat of the story…
The 39-year-old former football player is slated to lock horns with her biggest rival, Amanda Serrano, for the third time in her career. The pair will meet where their rivalry began, at Madison Square Garden in New York, on July 11th, streaming live on Netflix. Getting back to the topic, Taylor, though a private person, could not prevent details about her personal life from leaking into the public domain.
What is Katie Taylor’s relationship status in 2025?
‘The Bray Bomber’ is a very private person outside the ring. Unlike her in-ring persona, where she is strong and confident, Taylor likes to be quiet outside of it and likes to keep her private life under wraps. However, since her debut, she has been asked one question that she absolutely hates, and has called it “annoying.”
While talking to The Athletic last year, the 39-year-old stated, “Probably the question about relationships. That’s another question people always ask.” The 24-1 boxer understands the fans’ and media’s intrigue about her personal life, but “it’s a bit annoying at times, but I’m just polite and get on with it.”
She also added that male boxers don’t get asked the same question. But still, she once directly addressed dating rumors.

Interestingly, back in 2019, the Irish boxing phenomenon claimed that she was too busy to be in a relationship. However, she indicated the future could surprise fans. “I’m not [seeing anyone] at the moment, I really genuinely haven’t got the time,” Talor told the Irish Mirror. “I’m just out in America training hard at the moment, but who knows what could happen in the future.”
Katie Taylor’s early life and background
Taylor was born in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. She grew up alongside her three siblings, Lee, Peter, and Sarah. The 39-year-old is the youngest of the four children of Peter Taylor and Bridget. Her father introduced her to boxing and played an important role in her development as a boxer.
Peter was her coach and was at her side when she won the gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics. However, the relationship started to fall apart as tension started growing in Taylor’s household. In 2016, Katie Taylor decided to part ways with her father, Peter, as her coach after he and her mother, Bridget, divorced.
The personal problems affected Taylor as she was knocked out in the quarterfinals of the 2016 Olympic Games. She then decided to turn pro, a move that her father has always opposed. It has been 10 years since the father and daughter stopped training together, and the duo has not been on talking terms since.
However, Katie Taylor has a deep personal and spiritual connection with the rest of the members of her family. Her mother, Ireland’s first-ever female boxing judge, is always present ringside at her every fight. Not only that, the mother-daughter duo pray together ahead of every fight, and it is a ritual that they follow rigidly.
Taylor’s grandmother has also played a very important role in her upbringing. She has been a constant source of motivation for the boxer, and whenever there is a setback in her professional life, the Olympic gold medalist can always turn to her grandmother for support.
The Bray native also shares a strong relationship with both her brothers. The three trained together under their father in their childhood days. Her sister, Sarah, is also usually in the audience during her fights. The Taylor family has always supported their champion and will be present ringside when she enters the AT&T Stadium to defend her undisputed super lightweight title.
