Israel Adesanya, Shana Evers

Israel Adesanya is not just a skilled fighter, but a flamboyant personality that has captivated audiences since his debut in the UFC. He quickly rose to the top of the middleweight division, winning the undisputed UFC gold and defending his title five times before a setback against Alex Pereira. However, he bounced back and regained his title with a stunning knockout at UFC 287. ‘The Last Stylebender’, with a professional fighting record of 24-2 under his name, has now defeated almost every elite in the 185 lbs. roster. With this feat, the Nigerian-Kiwi has registered himself among the greatest of all time in the UFC.

Despite his success in the octagon, Adesanya has managed to keep his personal life private, leaving fans curious about the man behind the gloves. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at Adesanya’s personal life and shed some light on the lesser-known aspects of his journey.

Israel Adesanya- A Look into his dating life ex-girlfriend, current, and More

In the lead-up to his highly anticipated title defense against Paulo Costa at UFC 253 in 2020, rumors began circulating about Adesanya’s alleged companion. The purported woman bore a striking resemblance to the Oscar-nominated Australian actress Margot Robbie, leaving many to speculate about the champion’s potential romantic interests.

Despite initial conjecture, it was later discovered that the woman in question was not, in fact, Robbie. As images of Adesanya and the mystery woman surfaced online, rumors continued to swirl until her true identity was eventually revealed as Charlotte Powdrell, a fellow New Zealand resident.

Despite the widespread speculation, the middleweight champion remained tight-lipped on the matter, leaving fans and media outlets alike to draw their own conclusions. Ultimately, the true nature of Adesanya’s relationship with Powdrell remains a mystery to this day.

In addition, according to earlier rumors, the ex-kickboxer had a romantic involvement with dancer Yanet Garcia. Garcia is a well-known figure in the entertainment sector who has made several video and television appearances.

Who is Shana Evers? Adesanya’s rumored girlfriend

The gorgeous Australian model, who originally rose to fame for her relationship with rapper Fortafy, has been connected to the UFC middleweight champion. Per reports, she was raised in a family of five and is the younger sister of Australian television personality Brooke Evers. She bears an uncanny likeness to the famous Kim Kardashian.

But she goes far beyond merely having a gorgeous face. She is a successful model and a shrewd entrepreneur who developed the cutting-edge platform Women In Meta and introduced her own swimsuit brand, Salt Gipsy, as well. She has risen to prominence in the fashion business in addition to being featured in Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.

Although it is unknown exactly when the couple originally met, it is said that their relationship began in September 2021, just around the time the fighter liked one of her Instagram posts. The rumors have only been fueled further, with the pair having been sighted on each other’s social media profiles.

Despite the increasing rumors surrounding their connection, neither has spoken publicly about their purported romance. As a result, it is still unknown how long they were together.
