Former super lightweight champion Holly Holm will face off against Stephanie Han in her second fight since returning to the squared circle. Having fought for a long time, ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’s professional career is there for people to see. Regardless, fans don’t talk much about her personal life, which we will be focusing on today.
Holly Holm etched her name in the history books of combat sports after making an impact on both boxing and MMA. But what the public wants to know is her personal life, especially her ex-husband, Jeff Kirkpatrick. Let’s have a look at that front without any further ado.
Holly Holm married ex-husband Jeff Kirkpatrick in 2012
At the time when Holly Holm was an active boxer, she met her ex-husband, Jeff Kirkpatrick. He was a native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and was a businessman by profession. Holm and Kirkpatrick had been dating each other for several years before deciding to get married on April 27, 2012, in Mexico. ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’s husband became an overnight sensation in the media due to his association with the former UFC champion, as people wanted to know more about him.

Despite being together for a long time, Holly Holm never had any children with Jeff Kirkpatrick. The reason behind that was that Holm wanted to focus on her fighting career, and her husband appeared to agree with that. Sadly, the marriage did not last too long, and both partners ended up divorcing each other.
The former UFC champion filed for divorce in 2019
In January 2019. ‘TMZ‘ reported that divorce documents were issued in Albuquerque, with Holly Holm claiming to have had a compatibility issue with Jeff Kirkpatrick due to endless conflicts and arguments between the couple. However, the separation took place well before she filed for divorce, in March 2018, to be exact. Since then, Holm and Kirkpatrick have stopped living as husband and wife. Furthermore, ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ even changed her surname back to her maiden name, Holm.
The early signs of a rift between Holly Holm and her ex-husband were evident when she did not post any photos of Jeff Kirkpatrick since February 2018. She even wrote in her divorce documents that, because both of them were self-supporting, there was no need for spousal support. Since then, Holm has remained quiet about her romantic relationships.
Personal problems could affect an athlete in his professional career, but that was not the case for Holly Holm. She is 44 years old and still going strong at an age when most fighters hang up their gloves.
Nevertheless, Holm is focused on her MMA career, and the fight against Stephanie Han could well be one of her toughest challenges to date. Do you think her winning ways will continue?Â
