Israel Adesanya is one of the biggest names in the UFC. He possesses an outspoken personality and does not shy away from any fights. However, he has tried to keep his personal life under wraps. Let’s find out all about Adesanya’s dating life and the difficulties he has faced with his ex-girlfriend.
Adesanya is a Nigerian-born Kiwi fighter who fought in GLORY kickboxing before making his way into the UFC. He is a former UFC middleweight champion, who stirred headlines beyond the octagon when his relationship with Charlotte Powdrell became public.
The proof of their involvement was captured in viral photographs, including intimate moments shared in a bathtub. Adesanya’s picture with her while he was the Middleweight champion even made the rounds.
However, by the close of 2020, the relationship seemed to come to an end. Despite the initial buzz and public interest surrounding their dynamic, it was reported the couple split up through a mutual decision. In 2021, rumors had a new link for Adesanya. It was reported that he was dating again.
Israel Adesanya was reportedly involved with Australian model Shana Evers
It is unknown when and if Adesanya began dating Shana Evers, however, some fans concluded that their relationship began around September 2021 after Adesanya liked an Instagram post of Evers.
The Australian model is a Kim Kardashian look-a-like, according to many. She previously dated a rapper named Fortafy and even has a daughter with him, named Egypt. At one point, Egypt was one of the most followed babies on social media.
Evers herself is also quite famous on social media. She has over 83,000 followers on Instagram. According to her Instagram, she is an investor and a founder. She started Women In Meta (WIM), a platform where one can create 3D custom avatars.
Israel Adesanya launched a scathing attack on Charlotte Powdrell in 2021
In 2023, Adesanya weighed in on Achraf Hakimi‘s situation with Hiba Abouk. It was reported that Abouk was asking for half of Hakimi’s wealth in the divorce settlements. Adesanya praised Hakimi for safeguarding his interests. The MMA fighter revealed that his ex-girlfriend was looking for a similar resort. He even revealed the email he sent to Powdrell in 2021.
Izzy wrote, “You have never helped me make money, only ever cost me money. Now you think you deserve half of my sh*t? What an entitled pompous BRAT you are.”
He added, “You don’t care about my life cuz you’ve sold info about me, so I don’t care about yours. I don’t even hate, I just don’t care about you. I’ve not been in love with you for a while. In summary, I’m glad this happened. I wouldn’t change a f**king thing.”
Adesanya ended the email with a warning as he claimed he would take her to court. That was, however, the end of it. Months after this revelation, no further developments about the story were reported.
In the December 2021 email, however, Adesanya wrote that he was with someone better at the time. It can be concluded that he was with Evers by the time. However, it should be noted that neither Adesanya nor Evers have ever publicly accepted their relationship. It is unknown if Adesanya is dating anyone in 2023 but it is likely he is single.
