What does Sean O'Malley's wife Danya Gonzalez do? Everything you need to know about the UFC champ's 'open relationship' spouse

Sean O'Malley is the talk of the town in the MMA world. He recently dethroned Aljamain Sterling as the reigning UFC bantamweight champion and reached the dizzying heights that many believed he would. One of the newly crowned champion's greatest sources of support is his wife Danya Gonzalez.

The two are known to have an open relationship. In 2020, the family welcomed a baby girl. While much is known about 'Sugar,' as he is one of the most recognizable faces in the UFC, not much is known about his wife Danya Gonzalez. The two met back when 'Sugar' was still a young prospect and no more than 20.

He claimed that during their first meeting, Gonzalez had mistaken him for a 15-year-old teenager. It turns out that Danya Gonzalez is a cosmetologist and owns a small shop named Hairapy.

This comes as no surprise, given Sean O'Malley's flashy hairstyles. In fact, she is also responsible for supporting him financially before his success in MMA. However, the roles have since changed, with O'Malley becoming the breadwinner.

He gifted both Gonzalez and his mother $100,000 on Mother's Day. He also recently disclosed that only he is allowed to have other sexual partners in the pair's relationship, with Gonzalez barred from doing so due to him becoming the financial caretaker.

While doing so, he also hinted at his wife not necessarily being comfortable with the arrangement.

Sean O'Malley clarifies his stance on the ‘Open relationship’ with his partner

Sean O'Malley's claim of being in an open relationship with his girlfriend raised a lot of eyebrows in the MMA community. ‘Sugar’ later revealed that only he had the liberty to have multiple partners in his relationship while his wife was expected to be loyal to him.

O'Malley was heavily criticized for the arrangement and offered his take on the situation during an episode of his Timbo Suga Show podcast. He said:

“I'm a king. I pay for everything. I treat Danny like a queen. If I get a little [redacted] on the side, what does that have to do with anything? I have testosterone running through my veins - it's that simple. I wouldn't say that if I was in the opposite position if I wasn't paying for everything, if I wasn't successful. If I was an average Joe, it probably wouldn't be fair. But I feel like I'm King Kong.”
