Hey there, fight fans and drama lovers! Olympic gold medalist Nicola Adams, the trailblazing British boxer who made history at the 2012 London Olympics, is baring her soul about her recent split from girlfriend Ella Baig. At 42, Nicola isn’t just a champ in the ring - she’s navigating the tough terrain of heartbreak and co-parenting with grace.
After seven years together, Nicola and 27-year-old Ella called it quits earlier this year. And while breakups are never easy, Nicola admits that Ella’s career on OnlyFans added a unique strain to their relationship. It’s a raw, honest peek into the challenges of balancing personal support with personal boundaries.
But don’t think this story is all gloom - there’s a silver lining in how these two are handling life post-split. Stick with us as we dive deeper into their journey, from love at first sight to parenting as a team.
Picture this: a chance meeting on a night out in 2018 sparks a romance between Nicola and Ella. Fast forward a few years, and they’re dreaming of starting a family together, turning to fertility treatments to make it happen. In July 2022, their son Taylor arrived via C-section, bringing joy - and new challenges - to their lives.
Yet, not everything was picture-perfect. Nicola recently shared with the Daily Mail that Ella’s work on OnlyFans, while something she supported, inevitably weighed on their bond. It’s a reminder that even the strongest relationships can face unexpected hurdles.
“I’ve always championed Ella’s choices, including her OnlyFans career, but I can’t pretend it didn’t impact us. It’s been tough, but we’re focused on what matters most now,” Nicola shared candidly.
Here’s where Nicola and Ella shine brightest - their commitment to co-parenting their three-year-old son, Taylor. Despite the public nature of their breakup, Nicola emphasizes that they’ve kept things respectful and mature, always prioritizing their little one’s happiness.
“It’s never easy splitting up under the spotlight, but we’ve navigated it well,” Nicola revealed. She’s grateful for the good times they shared and insists that Taylor remains unaffected by the change, which is all any parent could hope for.
The duo’s focus on teamwork post-split is honestly inspiring. Nicola even playfully dubbed them “good co-parenting girls,” proving that even after love fades, respect and care can keep a family strong.
While her personal life has seen its share of challenges, Nicola isn’t slowing down professionally. She’s stepping out of the ring and onto the screen, taking acting lessons and gearing up for her big debut in a film next year. Titled The Gun on Second Street, it’ll see her star alongside Poppy Delevingne and Rumer Willis (yes, Bruce Willis’ daughter!).
That’s not all - Nicola’s also set to charm younger audiences in the BBC children’s show High Hoops, slated for release this November. Talk about a knockout career pivot!
From Olympic glory to personal revelations and now Hollywood dreams, Nicola Adams continues to captivate us. Keep following for more updates on her journey - and maybe a few more flirty jabs at life’s challenges along the way!
