33-year-old multi-division veteran Kelvin Gastelum is back in action in Mexico as he takes on up-and-comer Joe Pyfer at UFC on ESPN 64 in a middleweight bout. Having bested Daniel Rodriguez, who stepped up to fight the 33-year-old on short notice, Gastelum would be hoping to edge past his younger counterpart at the Arena CDMX. However, this article is concerned more about the veteran’s personal life as we inch closer to his fight this weekend.

Kelvin Gastelum is one of UFC’s most experienced fighters, with 30 fights, if we include his ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ Finale clash back in 2013. Moreover, he has been a part of the promotion for over a decade. As he gears up for his 31st professional fight, according to the UFC’s website, let us look into his personal life, especially his marital life.

Kelvin Gastelum’s relationship status in 2025

Recently, Kelvin Gastelum got recognized for the war he had against Israel Adesanya. During UFC 236, it was announced that their legendary clash would be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. It’s a well-deserved honor, which has been the highlight of the 33-year-old’s UFC career. Hence, fans mostly discuss and talk about how he goes about his business inside the Octagon, but not about his personal life.

In fact, there are no proper sources that indicate that he’s in a relationship or if Kelvin Gastelum is married. To add to the confusion, there’s not even any report that could confirm whether he’s single. Hence, there’s a lot of ambiguity surrounding his relationship status in 2025. However, the UFC star did have one relationship that became public news, so let’s have a look at that front.

Meet Lena Pattyson, Kelvin Gastelum’s ex-girlfriend

There were no reports about Kelvin Gastelum’s dating life for a long time. However, some years ago, there were various reports about his partner! A few years ago, the UFC fighter was dating Lena Pattyson. Intriguingly, Pattyson was also his personal strength and conditioning coach.

Moreover, Lena Pattyson was credited for Gastelum’s improved physique and nutrition. Earlier, the American fighter was competing in the UFC’s welterweight division. But after a few weight misses, he moved to the middleweight division. Pattyson is a fitness freak, and all this is evident from her social media pages, where she continuously helps her clients to live a healthy life. She has also worked with Ironside Performance Gym in Utah and House of Power Gym in Westminster, California. 

While people may not be in relationships, they often have children from past relationships or marriages. So let’s find out whether Gastelum has any children of his own or not.
