40-year-old Layla Anna-Lee is married to 26-year-old UFC fighter Ian Garry and their relationship has come under fire due to some recent developments. Layla authored a book that acts as a guide for women to become a ‘WAG’. Women who are partners of professional athletes are sometimes known as Wives and Girlfriends (WAGs). Fans believe Layla’s marriage to Garry is just about her being a WAG and nothing more.
One fan took to X and posted screenshots of the book’s Amazon listing. They wrote, “Lmao Ian Garry’s 40 year old wife wrote a book on how to trap young rich athletes and be a “WAG” before she ever met him… How did the dude fall for this when she’s so open about it.”

UFC lightweight fighter Matt Frevola also reacted to the post on X. He expressed shock at the book and wrote, “Is this real lol.”
The book is titled ‘How to be a WAG’ and according to its Amazon listing, it is “the ultimate guide to catching the man of your dreams!”
Garry and Layla got married in February 2022. Just two months later, it was announced that Layla was pregnant with their first child. They were blessed with a baby boy in October 2022.
Fans questioned the whole scenario and they needed to be answered. So, Garry took to Instagram to do the needful. However, his answer was not completely satisfactory.

She is also the author of the book that has come into question recently. However, according to her husband Garry, the book is just satire. In a post on Instagram about the whole situation, Garry claimed it is “the satire book you all got lied to about.”
However, fans were not convinced by this explanation. One fan wrote that Garry was in “serious denial”. No other comments have been made by Garry or Layla about the matter yet.
