Ryan Garcia’s relationship status is way too confusing! However, according to his statement on social media, Ryan Garcia is still single, and he is just friends with the new woman in his life, Ana Paula Saenz. The 25-year-old boxer separated from his ex-wife Andrea Celina in January, right after announcing the birth of his first son, which saw a wave of criticism flooding his social media.

Despite this, ‘King Ry’ has hinted on numerous occasions that he’s involved with various women, even making headlines by teasing a wedding with an adult actress during the height of his social media antics prior to the Devin Haney fight. However, in his latest social media posts, Garcia has been seen getting close to Ana Paula Saenz. Yet Garcia and Saenz maintain that the reality of the situation is quite different!

Social media drama: From dance moves to marriage proposal

Turning to Instagram hours earlier, the Victorville native shared a clip with Saenz, dancing to his new single ‘Blessed, Highly Favored’ featuring Fooly Faime, Gaiinz while asking his fans to stream the song in the caption of the post. However, moments later, ‘The Flash’ came back to the post to comment, “Yall have to understand we are all friends we just hangout and have fun.”

Even Saenz made an appearance in the comments writing, “We are best friends guys!!!!” In fact, Garcia seems to have dedicated several posts both on Instagram and X to clarify the situation. In a clip shared, Garcia asserted that what people are thinking about him and the women in his life are all false—Garcia also said, “All these girls are just my friends. Like I said, I am celibate—I don’t even have s*x.”

However, the plot thickened when Garcia came back to social media around the same time, this time with a surprising marriage proposal in tow.

Ryan Garcia is in it for the long run

It appears Garcia’s romantic interests might not lie with Saenz, but according to his recent statement on X, he’s eager to dive into a new relationship as soon as possible. Garcia wrote, “Official statement from Ryan Garcia. He is single, is open for a relationship. Also, I’m in it for the long run. Marriage.” Whether Garcia’s post was genuine remains uncertain, but his inconsistent behavior on social media only adds fuel to the skepticism surrounding his intentions.

In a tweet dated March 23, Garcia wrote, “No cap I want a the girls gin the world I’m H***** Meaning h**ny. Jk. Allegedly.” And the twists keep coming. The Victorville puncher has been caught in a web of contradictory statements, leaving many to suspect that his social media antics might just be an elaborate trolling of his followers.

Despite Garcia’s outward appearance on social media, there are doubts lingering about the authenticity of his persona. It seems like his online presence is carefully crafted to maintain relevance and admiration from fans. His nonchalant demeanor in the face of a doping scandal raises questions about his priorities, suggesting that perhaps he values his social media image more than his career trajectory in the sport. Do you think Ryan Garcia is telling the truth?
