Family is everything to UFC star Amanda Lemos, and she holds this truth close to her heart. A devoted family woman, the Brazilian’s success in the UFC wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering love and support of her loved ones. Like many fighters, Lemos isn’t just chasing the dream of becoming a UFC champion; she’s fighting to ensure her family has a bright and comfortable future.
‘Amandinha’ has competed at both the strawweight and bantamweight divisions and is one of the most competent fighters on the roster. As she continues on her journey to one day win the UFC gold, here’s a detailed look at the women’s strawweight star’s family.
Who is Amanda Lemos married to? Wife and relationship
Speaking of Amanda Lemos’s partner, the 36-year-old refrains from sharing many details about her married life on public platforms. Nevertheless, it is known that she is married to fellow Brazilian Karina Ximenes. Ximenes works as an interior designer and specializes in decor and aesthetics. Lemos’s wife is believed to have been with her since her beginning and has helped her rise from the ranks in the Brazilian MMA circuit.
The couple has a young daughter, whom we will discuss more in depth-later, in Belem, Brazil, along with other close relatives. Apart from being an interior designer, Ximenes is also a fitness enthusiast and is very disciplined about her eating methods. She also takes care of the UFC Fighter’s diet and also helps her with her weight cuts.
While the duo refrains from sharing much information regarding their private lives, there have been a few instances where the couple has posted pictures together. Ximenes often takes out time to share her feelings for Lemos and her Instagram post is proof of that.
Does Amanda Lemos have kids?
Amanda Lemos and her partner, Karina, adopted a baby girl named Rebecca a few years ago. Needless to say, the couple absolutely adore the kid, as is evidenced by their doting social media posts featuring Rebecca. In fact, one of the biggest motivations for Lemos to continue and succeed in her MMA career is her young daughter, who loves that her mother is a UFC fighter.
“It’s my daughter’s dream. She always says, ‘Mom, when can I travel with you? I want to see you fight live.’ When she tells me that, it kills me. I really want to travel with her, to bring her to my world, but I am not able to. I haven’t lost hope; I’m fighting for it. Sweetheart, mommy loves you and I’ll give you this victory.” Lemos told UFC.com in a recent interview.
Well, by her quotes, it seems like the reason Lemos cannot bring her daughter with her while traveling or to her fights may be financial. And if that is the case, becoming a UFC champion would definitely take care of that problem. This is pretty good motivation for the Brazilian to try her best to one day get the UFC belt wrapped around her waist– not because it would be a big achievement for her personally, but for her family.
