"10 years married, 20 years in love, and a lifetime to go. From the very beginning, you’ve been my best friend, my greatest adventure, and my favorite dancing partner. And now, here we are—four beautiful children, countless memories, and a love that’s only grown stronger with time. Through every high and low, every twist and turn, you’ve been my steady hand and my safe place. I’d say “I do” all over again in a heartbeat. I love you more than words can say—here’s to forever, hand in hand, step by step."

According to her social media handles, Mrs. McGhee works in the field of education and is a teacher. The couple also shares four kids, three daughters and a son.

In a 2022 interview, Mrs. McGhee addressed the challenges of being married to a UFC fighter and made a startling revelation about whether she's ever worried about him getting hurt in the cage. She said:

"It's a busy life... Always on edge, never knowing when the next fight is going to be... The kids are there, and they scream louder than I do for sure... Our youngest wants to be a fighter now. That part's easy, watching him."

Addressing whether she's afraid of him getting hurt, she continued:

"No, because I've never seen him really get hit yet. That's my biggest thing, I've never seen him actually get hurt in a fight yet, so it's easy. He's so good."
