Who Is Sean O’Malley’s Wife Danya Gonzalez? Open Relationship Rumors & More
After becoming the king of the 135-pound division with a brutal TKO win over Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292, ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley hit peak stardom. But his reign was short-lived. At UFC 306, he ran into a relentless Merab Dvalishvili and lost the belt via unanimous decision. But behind the scenes, one person has stood firm by his side through it all, his wife, Danya Gonzalez.
Their story? It’s not your typical fairytale, but then again, when has anything about Sean O’Malley ever been? Now, as he prepares for a rematch against ‘The Machine’ at UFC 316, all eyes are once again on the Montana native, not just for his flashy fighting style, but also for the woman who’s been in his corner from the beginning. Let’s break it all down.
How did Sean O’Malley and Danya Gonzalez meet? Are they married?
‘Suga’ met his wife, Danya Gonzalez, at a gym where he trained MMA with his coach, Tim Welch. O’Malley was about 19 or 20 years old, but Gonzalez mistook him for a 15-year-old due to his youthful looks. That was the time when they hit it off and their relationship slowly progressed.
Furthermore, Danya Gonzalez is about three years older than Sean O’Malley. The UFC bantamweight champion also revealed that it was his coach who asked him to approach his now-wife, and that’s when their relationship started to take shape.

Whether little Elena chooses to follow her father into the Octagon or not, one thing is clear: she’s got the love of two very devoted parents.

Is O’Malley in an open relationship with his wife?
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Sean O’Malley hasn’t been shy about his stance. On an episode of Raw Talk with Bradley Martyn, he put it bluntly by stating, “I’m a king, I pay for everything. I treat Danya like a queen. If I get a little p—- on the side, what does that have to do with anything?†He even chalked it up to testosterone and his role as the breadwinner.
But he also admitted that Danya isn’t always okay with it. “She’s never fine with it,†he said, though he added she’s been “through phases†where she accepts it. It’s not your conventional love story. But maybe that’s exactly what makes it work for them.
So, with his family by his side, the stage is set for Sean O’Malley’s revenge at UFC 316. Will he reclaim his throne? Or will Merab Dvalishvili once again shut the door on the ‘Suga Show’? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
