Jorge Masvidal’s now ex-wife, Iman Kawa, shared the relationship of husband and wife for almost a decade before splitting up.
The couple divorced in early 2019, but reports state they split up in 2018.
Net worth
Iman Kawa’s net worth is estimated to be around $200k, mainly generated from her YouTube channel and brand Better Than Your Mother.
On the other hand, Jorge Masvidal’s estimated net worth is $6 million, which he earned from his pro-fighting career in the UFC.
Masvidal launched an MMA promotion, iKON FC, featuring UFC veterans and up-and-coming fighters in January 2026, and the promotion’s inaugural event aired on UFC Fight Pass.
Marriage, Children, & Divorce
Iman Kawa and Jorge Masvidal got married sometime in the late 2000s.
The couple was also blessed with three beautiful children. But they decided not to reveal any information about their children.
The eldest child (daughter) of the three is about 22 years old as of 2026, followed by the middle child, the second daughter, who is 16 years old.
Similarly, the youngest child, the only son, is about 9 years old.

Iman later claimed that their divorce was due to Jorge’s unfaithful nature.
The former Jorge Masvidal’s wife also claimed that the MMA fighter had dated many models in the past behind her back.
There is no clue as to who got custody of the three children.
Our expertise suggests that Iman won the custody battle if there was Jorge, a pro-fighter, could not possibly have time to look after three children.
Jorge Masvidal
Jorge was born in 1984, on the 12th of November.
He has been competing professionally since 2003 and competed for Bellator, Strikeforce, Shark Fights, and World Victory Road.
Masvidal holds the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history at five seconds and won the symbolic UFC ‘BMF’ Championship belt.
He is #11in the UFC welterweight rankings as of October 3, 2026.
Controversy
In April of 2026, Colby Covington, a welterweight division fighter, said that Masvidal and a woman named Maritza Collado are husband and wife during a Mac Life interview.
The former best friend of Masvidal said that Maritza is the real wife of Jorge, not Iman Kawa.
He also boldly claimed that Jorge’s children were Maritza’s and not his ex-wife, Iman Kawa’s.
Covington said, and we quote,
“The mother of his children and his wife, who is still on the marriage certificate today, have not been divorced yet, is Maritza Collado… Maritza Masvidal.”
Moreover, he stated that Jorge had an extramarital affair, lied to her children about their mother, and cheated on Maritza.
Covington did not hold back; he wanted to destroy Masvidal’s professional career. He said everything he knew, every detail that would make Jorge ashamed.
“He’s a s****y person. He cheated on his wife and his children,” said Colby Covington.
Following that, he also said, “He lies to his children. He’s just not a good person. So I want to expose him in front of everybody.”
He reported these claims to sports producer and reporter Helen Yee.
Masvidal’s fan jumped to cover for him, saying that Covington wanted media coverage and that this was a publicity stunt.
Isn’t it ironic how the person who went off against for wearing a Fidel Castro t-shirt is now blamed for cheating on his wife and kids?
Colby Covington
It was reported that Masvidal assaulted UFC rival Colby Covington on March 22, 2026.
Covington was leaving a restaurant when Masvidal ran up to Covington and punched him twice, breaking one of Covington’s teeth and causing an abrasion on his wrist.
He was arrested a day after the incident and charged with aggravated battery, resulting in great bodily harm.
Masvidal had to go to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $15,000 bond. He was released on condition.
Career
Jorge Masvidal’s wife is currently single; there are no indications that she has another man in her life.
She is raising her three children alongside pursuing her professional career. She is an excellent example of resilience.
As far as we can tell, Kawa is not looking for a relationship right now; she is investing all her energy and effort into growing her business and raising her children.
