American boxing star Ryan Garcia reportedly filed for divorce from his model wife Andrea Celina because he felt their marriage was beyond repair.
Garcia, the former WBC interim lightweight champion, made an incredible double revelation on Friday when he announced the birth of his second child with Celina and their divorce within minutes of each other.
Alongside a photo of his son – believed to be his third child overall – the 25-year-old gushed that he “already loves him so much.”
But incredibly, within an hour of that post, he returned to social media with more news, this time announcing his split from the mother of his son.
According to TMZ Sports, court documents show that Garcia filed for divorce with Celina due to “irreconcilable differences.”

In these documents, Garcia claims that he and Celina – who married on January 14, 2021 – were separated on Christmas Day.
But despite their problems, the 24-1 fighter insists he is still prepared to financially support their two children – three-year-old Bela and newborn Henry – going forward.
He is also willing to pay Celina spousal support for the next 17.5 months.
In the divorce announcement, Garcia stressed that “co-parenting” was of utmost importance to the former couple.
“As I enter a new chapter in my life, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that Drea and I have decided to divorce,” he said in the now-deleted social media post.
“Although this decision marks the end of our marriage, it is important to emphasize that our relationship as co-parents remains our top priority.”
“During our years together, Dea was an incredible partner and an even more extraordinary mother to our two children.” “I am deeply grateful for our years together and for her unwavering commitment to our family.”
Celina regularly posts photos from her life to her 141,000 Instagram followers, but has yet to post anything about the divorce

No similar message was shared from Andrea's side. In fact, the only post uploaded to her account was a reference to her story of Eminem's “Love the Way You Lie,” possibly indicating a disagreement between the two parties.
Garcia and Celina have been together since 2019 before tying the knot two years later.
The California-born boxer returned to winning ways last month after suffering the first defeat of his professional career against Gervonta Davis last April, stopping Oscar Duarte within eight rounds to get back on track.
