Kevin Holland is known for his sharp tongue and fearless fights inside the Octagon, but behind the chaos of ‘Trailblazer’ lies a quieter story of love, loyalty, and partnership. As the 32-year-old UFC welterweight gears up for his return at UFC Vancouver on October 18, against Canadian contender Mike Malott, fans have been asking a different question: Who is the woman standing beside him through it all?

Her name is Charlese Holland, and while Kevin commands the spotlight, she thrives in her own world as we now take a closer look at the woman behind one of the UFC’s most outspoken stars!

Who Is Charlese Holland and What Does She Do for a Living?

Charlese Holland was born to Charles Cossey and Ginger Wakefield Contorno and spent her childhood growing up with four siblings in Colorado. She graduated from Durango High School. Following this, the 30-year-old studied Cosmetology in 2013 and received her training at the Academy of Hair Design in the same year.

While the UFC fighter has established himself in the MMA world, Charlese has also built a successful career. Charlese is a model by profession and also doubles up as a hairstylist. In addition, she also owns a hair salon called ‘All Ways Beautiful’ in Lake Worth, Texas. She even worked as a hairstylist at Voilà Salon and Spa in 2015 and has been traveling since pursuing her modeling career.

Moreover, she has amassed a considerable following of 25.6k on her Instagram handle and continues to endorse luxury clothing brands. Mrs. Holland also shares a snippet of her extravagant vacations on her IG handle. Likewise, her TikTok account also has thousands of subscribers. But have you wondered about how extravagant Holland’s wedding was?

When Did Kevin Holland and Charlese Holland Get Married?

While his blows in the Octagon walked the talk, 32-year-old Kevin Holland tied the knot without any buzz. He and Charlese exchanged vows on March 3, 2019, in a private ceremony. Further, there are very few images of the ceremony available, which were attended only by close friends and relatives. Fans can watch the only video of the splendid ceremony when Charlese walked down the aisle on the latter’s own YouTube channel. The couple seems to have prioritized their privacy and kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

In addition, the fans could listen to the heartwarming vows the two shared. They could witness Holland, a man who has nothing but ardent love for his wife. Holland can be heard saying in the video, “I gotta love, respect, and cherish you. To make sure I blaze every trial in life with you by my side. I promise to love you whether your hair is blonde, red, or blue. I vow to continually grow with you and to travel the road with you by my side.”

“I’ve never had jitters to express my love for you or it to have you by my side. Because who wouldn’t want to be a king with the queen as loving, beautiful, and kind who makes peanut butter everything.”, he added.

Kevin Holland has found a companion who stands thick and thin through the ups and downs of his professional career and emotional upheavals. Charlese is also blessed to have Holland as her partner, who supports her dreams and career aspirations. However, even after 6 years of marriage, they still shy away from posting each other’s pictures on their respective handles. Thus, keeping their private and professional spheres separate.

How Many Kids Do Kevin and Charlese Holland Have? What Is Known About Their Family?

With both having stable and booming careers, the fans must have been wondering if they had added another member to their lovely family. Although there was a brief mention of an 11-year-old son on his Instagram, more details have not been provided by either Kevin Holland his wife, or any of his previous partners 

It is also worth noting that Holland uploaded a video of him enjoying training during the holiday season on social media and while the video did not feature his kids, the thumbnail of the reel saw Holland with his son by his side while picking up another child in his arm. So, the couple may have now been blessed by another boy. It looks like Holland has finally got the happy family he wanted. As a result, he makes sure to have some fun with his wife in his free time.

One such incident where he made sure the world knows about how his wife too doesn’t mind him crossing some boundaries to get some laughs was when he joked about also having a girlfriend despite being married. Taking to his X account, the UFC fighter claimed that both his wife and girlfriend have now allowed him to fight against Reinier De Ridder at UFC 311. He wrote, “Here is the deal… I checked with both my wife and my gf, and they said I can fight this weekend. #UFC296 #WAG”

As such, behind the laughter, the headlines, and the chaos of fight week, the ‘Trailblazer’ is simply a husband, a father, and a man who knows where home truly is. As he prepares for UFC Vancouver, one thing’s certain, win or lose, when Kevin Holland walks out of the cage, it’s Charlese and their family waiting in his corner!
