Ryan Garcia had a little good news/bad news sitch on his hands this week — first, he’s a father to a new baby … plus, he’s apparently leaving his wife who just delivered said baby.
The lightweight boxing phenom made shocking back-to-back announcements Friday evening, almost instantaneously … namely, breaking happy news that he and his partner, Andrea Celina, had recently welcomed a boy into the world … whom they named Henry Leo.
Within the hour of posting pics of his new kid — which is actually his second with AC — RG threw up a downer of a post … in which he declared he and Andrea were getting divorced.
Ryan’s birth post was jubilant, reading … “Honored To announce my Beautiful First Born SON PRAISE THE LORD. I am so thankful, I love him so much already. He is so fast already haha. Took him just 8 min to arrive You know where he got that speed from lol. GOD DID! And GOD WILL … THANK YOU LORD I LOVE YOU.”
In a since-deleted IG post that went up almost immediately after the baby announcement, Ryan said he and Andrea were ending their marriage … which was eye-popping for a couple different reasons. For starters, no one seemed to know they were already hitched.
Of course the bigger reason is … it was literally the very next thing he posted.. Ryan wrote in part, “As I step into a new chapter in my life, it’s with a heavy heart to share that Drea and I have decided to divorce.” He goes on to say that they remain committed to co-parenting their two children, etc. Now, it’s a bit unclear if he and Andrea are on the same page here.
Andrea herself did not post the divorce statement, and Ryan’s now scrubbed it from his page — even though it was publicly up for well over 12 hours. Andrea has since posted some cryptic messages of her own on her IG Story … perhaps suggesting she’s mad at him.
It’s a strange turn of events … especially considering they’ve been together since 2019. Now that Ryan’s taken down his divorce announcement — we’re not quite sure where things stand.
We’ve reached out to Ryan’s team for clarification and comment. So far, no word back.
