Tamara and Costa met before the Brazilian made his UFC debut. Both of them met in a gym where Alves went as per her brother-in-law’s reference. They both connected well from the very first meeting and eventually after several meetings Costa finally mustered up the courage to ask her out. Since then, they are with each other.
From the very beginning, Alves was always impressed by Costa due to his dedication and commitment to his training and MMA career. In an interview with ESPN, Alves revealed the fact that Costa always tries to give his 100 per cent while he trains or fights. Currently, the couple isn’t married. However, there is a high possibility that they might tie knots in near future.
Although Costa was managed by Wallid Ismail for most of his career, he recently decided to leave Wallid’s management. He is now managed by his girlfriend Tamara Alves. Aside from managing Costa, Alves is an independent woman. As mentioned above, she owns a vitamin supplement company called Mundo Fit.
