Through hard work and perseverance, Israel Adesanya has garnered immense success both in and out of the Octagon. The two-time UFC middleweight champion carries a flashy persona around him. Though sometimes with fame and notoriety, comes double the trouble. Throughout his career, quite a few controversies have surrounded the Nigerian-born Kiwi, but arguably none like his ex-girlfriend.
‘The Last Stylebender‘ has had a meteoric rise in promotion, with many failing to replicate his success and stardom. Adesanya is usually one to refrain from posting any overtly personal stuff online. But his level of achievement has brought with it a gigantic amount of attention, which at one point shed light on his girlfriend at the time, Charlotte Powdrell.

Due to her relationship at the time with Izzy, Powdrell herself became a well-known personality in the MMA world. The two being a couple was one of the most talked-about things in the community. Little did they know, the duo would soon end up making headlines for their breakup. And with Adesanya’s star power, only more eyeballs started drawing toward their anticlimactic end.
What does Charlotte Powdrell do for a living?
Like her ex-boyfriend and the Nigerian-born Kiwi, Charlotte Powdrell is a native of New Zealand. At present, Powdrell works as a real estate agent. Prior to selling properties in the Auckland region, Charlotte used to work in the field of nursing and has extensive knowledge in the healthcare department.
At present, Powdrell works for Unlimited Potential Real Estate, a real estate company co-founded by two partners in 1994. It is more commonly known as ‘uprealestate’ among the locals. Going by the testimonials and sales under Charlotte’s profile, one can assume she knows her way around selling exclusive properties to high-end clients.
As per her resume, Charlotte’s previous experience in the nursing department helped her immensely in dealing with clients in the venture to follow. She says, “My nursing career made me very aware of the responsibility that came with the role. Caring for a diverse range of people with very different needs, I learned how to remain calm under pressure and how to communicate and negotiate effectively.”
Powdrell has two Instagram pages for herself, one dedicated to her real estate business and the other for close friends and relatives. Due to reasons unknown, the business account which goes by the handle of ‘charlottepowdrellrealestate’ is currently unavailable. It boasted 400 followers at one point in the near past. However, she does keep her private account running, ‘lottiepowdrell,’ which has nearly 5,000 followers.
Charlotte doesn’t come across as the type to share anything personal on social media. As per reports, she tends to post pictures of her friends and loved ones. At most, Powdrell shares her workout routines and ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Why did she split up with Israel Adesanya?
As per Charlotte, she dated the UFC star for “too long.” However, reports from multiple outlets suggest otherwise. Izzy and Powdrell became known to the public eyes in 2019. Fans caught the couple together at various public places and events. She was also seen in the audience cheering for her man when he first bagged the UFC gold at UFC 243.
Videos of the ex-couple sharing a bubble bath also circulated on the web at one point. Going by such moments of the two, it would have been easy to assume they were a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, they allegedly split up in early 2020, with the reason for their breakup still being unknown to the general public.
Not only did they split up, but Israel and Charlotte have also seemingly remained on worse terms. Not too long ago, ‘The Last Stylebender’ accused her of being a spendthrift. Almost two years after their split, Adesanya took to Instagram to launch what appeared a scathing attack on her. In an email dated December 18, 2021, Izzy made strong accusations against his ex.
For someone who looked out of character, Adesanya called her names in the rant. However, he didn’t stop there. The bonafide UFC star went on to disclose that Charlotte sold information about him during the time they were together. And that she “cost him money,” rather than helping him become financially more responsible.
Since then, reports have been circulating that she might drag him into a lawsuit that might lose him half of his fortune. At the time of this writing, Adesanya has a net worth of $4 million dollars, and he has no intention of sharing it with anyone. As such, the ex-power couple never tied the knot, nor do they share any children together.
