UPDATE: UFC star Paddy Pimblett and his wife, Laura Pimblett, are celebrating a thrilling milestone as they prepare for a major fight while embracing their new role as parents. Just weeks ahead of his highly anticipated bout against Justin Gaethje at UFC 324 on January 24, 2026, the couple welcomed twin daughters, Betsy and Margot, born on April 17, 2024.

The excitement is palpable as Pimblett, known as “The Baddy,” gears up for this pivotal match in Las Vegas, set to be the first UFC event streamed on Paramount+. Support from his longtime partner Laura, who has been with him since their teenage years, is sure to play a crucial role in his performance. The couple, who grew up just a few doors apart in Liverpool, began dating in 2011 and tied the knot on May 28, 2023, at the picturesque Peckforton Castle in Cheshire.

Laura shared, “What a day from start to finish! We couldn’t have asked for better weather, atmosphere, or people around us.” Their wedding was a joyful gathering, attended by fellow UFC fighter Molly McCann-Pearson, and marked the beginning of their family journey.

The arrival of their twin daughters has transformed their lives. Laura expressed her overwhelming joy on social media, stating, “Never felt a love like this, my forever best friends.” The couple has embraced parenthood, documenting their experiences online, including a heartfelt vlog titled “Introducing Our New Twins.” In it, they discussed the names of their daughters, with Betsy honoring Laura’s Aunt Betty and Margot after Paddy’s grandmother.

Traveling together as a family, the Pimbletts have already enjoyed adventures to Spain, Dubai, and Thailand. In summer 2025, they captured moments from their U.S. tour, including their daughters attending their first baseball game in California. Laura humorously reflected on their travels, sharing, “Next stop home babies! So proud of myself the last 6 weeks. One thing I’m not proud of is the 2 stone I’ve gained!”

As the couple prepares for the upcoming fight, they are also focused on building their family, with Paddy expressing hopes for more children. “You never know if we have two sets of twins, we might end up having five,” he joked.

With the excitement of the UFC fight rapidly approaching, fans are eager to see how the Pimbletts balance their growing family and Paddy’s career in the octagon. Keep an eye on this dynamic duo as they face new challenges in both their personal and professional lives.
