Which religion does Ryan Garcia believe in?
Ryan Garcia is an amazingly talented boxer. He often posts videos of his intense training and Garcia never ceases to amaze the fans with his amazing speed. Garcia is a true star boy with a headline-worthy in-ring presence, but his out-of-cage antics are often subjects of controversies as well. Garcia, who is a father of two daughters, cheated on his long-time partner, Drea Celine.
He was caught kissing TikTok influencer, Malu Trevejo in 2020 outside a restaurant in West Hollywood. At the time, Garcia’s partner, Andrea Celina Garcia aka Drea Celina, was just weeks away from giving birth to their daughter Bela. While some feared it would be the end for the couple, they did get back after Garcia’s apology. Since then, he has turned his life around and has adapted to Christianity.
He was baptized in 2021 and has become a spiritual man since then. The 24-year-old has been much more focused on his family and has stayed away from controversial antics outside his in-ring career. Not only that, Garcia has also signified his faith in Christianity through many tattoos on his body.
