However, their resilience has shone through. They are proud parents to two sons, Davi and Miguel. Davi, the elder of the two, was born in 2015, while Miguel was welcomed into the family five years later in 2020.

Patricio's brother, Patricki Freire, is also a renowned mixed martial artist. Patricky held the Bellator lightweight title and has delivered some memorable performances during his professional MMA career.

Patricio and Patricky have also been solid supports of each other in their respective professional MMA careers, helping each other prepare for fights. While they routinely corner each other in their fights, the siblings seldom train or spar together.

In a November 2022 interview with the BBC, Patricky explained the reason for this, stating:

"We fought a lot as kids so today we mostly don't train together. It happens sometimes but it gets too competitive and we may end up hurting each other. So we are in each other's corners but we avoid sparring as much as possible." [H/t BBC]

The Freire siblings remained with Bellator MMA after its merger with the PFL. However, both were released from the promotion in early 2025 at their request. Patricio joined the UFC and made his UFC debut against Yair Rodrigeuz at UFC 314. Meanwhile, Patricky joined the Global Fight League. However, it was later announced that the GFL events were postponed indefinitely.
