Who is Danya Gonzalez, the wife of UFC champion Sean O'Malley?

UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley is married to his wife Danya Gonzalez; the two met in the gym in 2017.

The wife of the champion, born in 1991, is a hairdresser and owns her own salon.

Dana is also an influencer and has a large following on Instagram.

She has been by O'Malley's side every step of his UFC journey.

It is not known when the couple married, but their unconventional relationship has caused a stir.

Dana's husband revealed that the couple has an open marriage.

This admission from O'Malley got fans talking and some expressed criticism on social media.

However, the fighter defended his open marriage with Dana.

O'Malley said he considers the concept of a conventional marriage with 100 percent monogamy to be outdated.

In an episode of the TimboSugarShow, he said: “When marriage was first introduced, people’s life expectancy was 21.”

“It was so damn low, it was rare.

“So they were only married for a few years. Today there are people who have been married for 40, 50, 60 years.”

O'Malley insists the open aspect of his relationship with his wife does not mean that he loves her less than a husband in a traditional marriage.

Speaking again on his podcast in 2023, he said, “I'm a king, I pay for everything. I treat Danny like a queen.”

If I were an average guy, that probably wouldn't be fair. But I feel like King Kong.

O'Malley on his open marriage

“If I get a little bit screwed over along the way, what does that have to do with anything?

“Testosterone flows through my veins – it’s that damn simple.

“I wouldn’t say that if I were in the opposite situation, if I didn’t pay for everything, if I wasn’t successful.

“If I were an average guy, that probably wouldn't be fair. But I feel like I'm King fucking Kong.”

The birth of her daughter Elena

The couple has one child together.

In 2020, their daughter Elena was born.

Speaking to YouTube sports interviewer Helen Yee about having children, he said: “I knew I wanted children since I was a child.

“I remember breaking up with this girl when I was 12 or 13 because she didn't want kids. I'd wanted kids for a long time.”
