Paddy Pimblett is an up-and-coming prospect in the UFC. One of the more polarizing characters on the lightweight roster, the Englishman has become well talked about. Today, let’s take a deeper dive into his private life.
Hailing from the United Kingdom, Paddy spent most of his life in Liverpool. As such, it is also the reason behind his distinct Scouse accent. Additionally, his given name is ‘Patrick’; however, he refers to himself as ‘Paddy’, as it is a common nickname. With that said, his name, accent, and charisma played a big role in his initial hype.

However, following his controversial decision win against Jared Gordon at UFC 282, the crowd has seemingly turned against him. Despite the shifting opinions of the fans, one of the constants in his life has been his longtime girlfriend, Laura Gregory. Having been together for 11 years, the duo has seen a lot of ups and downs together.
Previously, Pimblett revealed that it was his girlfriend who made the first move, owing to his nervousness. Although there is not a lot of information about Laura, she does tend to post pictures of herself and Paddy from time to time. Notably, the UFC fighter took the big step and proposed to Gregory during their trip to the Phi Phi Islands in 2020.
How many children does Paddy Pimblett have with his wife, Laura Gregory?
Thus, the two have been engaged since 2020 and have continued to grow stronger together. Whilst Paddy has thrived in his Cage Warriors and UFC tenure, his fiancée has been supporting him every step of the way. Although ‘The Baddy‘ was engaged to Laura for quite some time, many fans were unaware of it.
In the past, many have scrutinized Paddy’s friendship with UFC fighter Molly McCann, hinting at other relations. However, the 28-year-old had always denied the claims, reiterating that ‘Meatball’ is a lesbian and has a different s*xual orientation. Finally, the rumors were squashed for good when Pimblett revealed that he had tied the knot with Laura Gregory at last.

Taking to social media, Pimblett posted pictures from his very elaborate wedding celebration on May 28, 2023. Notably, the fighter has been out of action since December 2022. Thus, many wondered what the reason behind his break was. As it turns out, the Englishman’s break from fighting was not only for his wedding but also to prepare for the birth of his twins.
Once again, Pimblett took to social media to share the news of what his wife was expecting. Interestingly, the couple will welcome twins sometime in 2024. As such, the lightweight said, “I don’t do things by halves like do I!” All things considered, the couple seems ready for this new step in their incredible journey.
