One of the most popular names in the world of mixed martial arts, Miesha Tate is widely regarded as one of the greatest female athletes to ever grace the UFC Octagon. The former bantamweight champion has proved her credibility inside the Octagon on numerous occasions. Who can forget her Comeback of the Year performance against Holly Holm that saw her become the UFC’s bantamweight champion of the world back in March of 2016?
Miesha Tate is a family woman, and despite her fame and popularity, she leads a completely private life away from the glitz and glamour of the media. While Miesa Tate has two kids with partner Johnny Nunez, the couple isn’t married as per reports. The dup announced their engagement back in 2021.

Johnny Nunez would get an incredible opportunity to showcase his talent in Ultimate Fighter Season 25. However, he would return to WSOF after suffering back-to-back losses. Nunez took on David Jordan in his return to WSOF, jumping back to the winning column and earning yet another call to the UFC in their new show The Ultimate Fighter Season 25.
While Nunez would jump back to the winning ways with a unanimous decision win over Josh Wic at Bellator, losing his next fight at ONE FC against Kazuki Tokudome would mark his last MMA appearance. Johnny Nunez has not competed since October 2019 and remains out of competition.

The couple shared the photo on Instagram, and welcomed their second child Daxton Wylder, on 14 June 2020. Both Johnny Nunez and Miesha Tate never fail to treat fight fans with their adorable photos of their kids. If we take a look at their social media handles, it’s evident that the couples love to travel as photos of them from vacation are regular on the photo-sharing platform Instagram.
“It feels great to be a father, but to bring your own son into this world is a tremendous feeling. Amaia’s delivery was three-day-long labor, but this one came fast and I had to think quickly.”
Nunez, while addressing the media shares his happiness on the birth of his second child and revealed what it meant to be a father of two beautiful kids.
“There are definitely times when I think about it and I’m like, ‘I really want to make my kids proud,’” Tate told BJPenn.com. “I want my daughter to be that woman. I want her to understand her strength, her capabilities, and never limit her dreams or goals. That’s the biggest thing. I don’t necessarily want her to be a fighter, I want her to believe she’s capable of doing whatever it is she sets her mind to. I want her to be that strong woman and I want my son to appreciate that strong woman.”
Miesha Tate has cited her kids as the motivation behind her MMA comeback after bidding farewell to the sport back in November of 2016 following a unanimous decision loss to Raquel Pennington.
