SUMMARY
- Jon Jones has been in a longtime relationship with his partner and fiancée, Jessie Moses.
- In September 2021, Jones was reportedly arrested because he was charged with battery and domestic violence.
Jon Jones is often hailed as one of the greatest MMA fighters ever. Owing to a career of tremendous success, Jones is also considered to be the GOAT by many. Since we already know about his exploits inside the Octagon, let’s also take a look at his personal life, and more specifically, his partner, Jessie Moses.
For those unaware, Jon has been in a longtime relationship with his partner and fiancée, Jessie Moses. Born on September 12, 1987, Moses was brought up and completed her graduation in New York. According to numerous reports, Jon and Jessie met when they were still in school and continued their relationship, whilst studying at different colleges.
Notably, the couple dated for nearly a decade before Jones eventually proposed to Jessie in 2013 during the Easter period. For the most part, it is unknown whether the two have tied the knot yet, as there is no evidence. However, ahead of his return at UFC 285, Jon referred to Jessie as his fiancée and sometimes as his wife. This was big news, especially after rumors of their reported breakup in early 2022.
Jon Jones’ physical altercation with Jessie Moses
For the most part, there has often been a lot of talk about Jon Jones and his troubled life outside of fighting. Over the years, we have seen Jon embroiled in numerous controversies. Notably, the former light heavyweight champion tested positive for performance-enhancing substances twice. In addition to that, he was also involved in the hit-and-run of a pregnant woman and a DUI during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the most disturbing event was likely his reported altercation with his fiancée, Jessie Moses. In September 2021, Jon was inducted into the Hall of Fame for his historic fight against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165. As such, the fighter, along with his partner and family, was in Las Vegas for the same. Despite it being such a special occasion, the night ended with ‘Bones‘ getting arrested.
According to reports, the police had apprehended Jon, and the fighter was charged with battery and domestic violence. Despite the reports, Jones denied assaulting Moses, and the case was later dropped after he took a plea deal. Subsequently, in early 2022, the UFC champion addressed his fans in a later-deleted Twitter tirade, saying that Jessie had left him and was not planning on coming back.
How many children does Jon Jones have with Jessie Moses?
Although many anticipated that it was finally the end of Jon Jones’ relationship with Jessie Moses, the two seemingly rekindled later that year. In the leadup to UFC 285, Jones thanked his ‘wife’ for her immense support throughout the training camp. Whilst some anticipated a new love interest, all rumors were dispelled when Jessie appeared alongside Jon on fight night.
Thus, all their issues had seemingly been resolved, and the two were happily back together. Despite the couple’s relationship not being perfect, they have struck through adversity with each other. Notably, their union has resulted in three daughters: Leah, born in 2008; Carmen Nicole, born in 2009; and Olivia Haven, born in 2013.

Notably, after a snowstorm in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jon spoke about his daughter’s horrific encounter with a bobcat. Having left the guest house door unattended resulted in Jon’s youngest coming face-to-face with the dangerous feline. Thankfully, to the relief of the fighter, the wild animal ran away without causing any harm to his daughter. After all, he holds his partner and his three daughters more dearly than anything else.
