STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA: Many UFC stars have experienced poverty during their childhood, which often led them to pursue fighting as a profession. Nate Diaz, the former UFC star, is no different. He had a challenging upbringing in the streets of Stockton, California. Despite his disinterest in formal education, it was during his school days that he encountered one of the most significant individuals in his life. Diaz found solace and purpose in martial arts, eventually becoming one of the toughest and most beloved fighters in the UFC, known for his unorthodox fighting style and outspoken personality.

While Diaz is a fan favorite among MMA enthusiasts who often want to know everything about him, he prefers to keep his personal life private. Coming from a family of fighters, Diaz rarely discusses his romantic relationship in public. However, behind the scenes and outside the ring, Diaz has been in a long-term relationship. His girlfriend, Misty Brown, has been a constant source of support throughout his career, standing by him through both successes and challenges and serving as his pillar of strength.

Who is Misty Brown?

Diaz's girlfriend, Misty Brown, was born on March 24, 1985. She grew up in Lodi, California, in a middle-class family. She attended Tokay High School and later pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor's in Liberal Arts from San Joaquin Delta College and a postgraduate degree from California State University. Brown has chosen not to publicly disclose her current occupation but the grapevine suggests she has embraced the role of a homemaker. According to Essential, Stockton Slapper’s coach once reportedly described her as "Diaz’s wife," however there is no confirmation about whether the two are secretly married. But they are undoubtedly together and very happy as a couple if their photos on social media are anything to go by.

Despite being involved with a prominent MMA superstar, Brown prefers to stay away from the public spotlight and refrains from engaging with Diaz's fans on social media. Diaz, respecting her desire for privacy, rarely shares photos of their relationship on his social media accounts.

How did Nate Diaz and Misty Brown meet?

Brown and Diaz first crossed paths at Salas Park during their extracurricular activities. Diaz was part of the football team while Brown attended cheerleading practice sessions. In a subsequent interview, Brown recalled her initial encounter with Diaz, observing that he was frequently running laps as a punishment. “He was always running laps. Even then, he was getting in trouble.”

According to reports, the couple has been together since 2007 and may have tied the knot at some point along the way. Despite the occasional headlines due to Diaz's fights, much of their personal life remains shielded from the public eye. However, Brown has been open about Diaz's true nature. Despite his 'bad-boy' image in the media, she revealed in an interview with The New York Times' that Diaz is actually quite easygoing and passionate. She said, “It’s wrong that he comes off as the middle finger mean guy that you can’t have a conversation with when, deep down inside, he’s one of the most passionate people I’ve met. There’s a portrayal of him on TV, and when people meet him, they say, 'oh, he’s not mean at all.'” A number of fans might find her descriptions similar to what the noted UFC star, Conor McGregor, had said about Diaz being a really soft person in real life.

Do Nate Diaz and Misty Brown have children?

Diaz and Brown have a daughter named Nikayla Diaz, born on June 6, 2018. However, the couple has chosen to raise their child away from media attention, ensuring she gets a private and protected upbringing. However, there are rumors circulating that in 2022, Diaz welcomed his second child into the world. Approximately 11 months ago, in an interview, Diaz's coach of many years, Caesar Gracie, mentioned that Brown had given birth to another child. While neither Diaz nor Brown has officially confirmed the birth of their second child, fans may consider Gracie's statement as credible given his significant role in Diaz's life. The couple's private nature regarding their personal lives could explain the lack of an official announcement about Diaz's second child.

Interestingly, Nate Diaz isn't the only prominent fighter in the family. His older brother, Nick Diaz, also made a name for himself in the MMA world. Known for his aggressive fighting style and outspoken nature, Nick Diaz gained fame during his active years as a fighter, becoming a recognized figure in the sport. However, his career was accompanied by controversies, both in and out of the cage, adding to the intrigue of the Diaz family's MMA legacy.

Nick Diaz's career was marked by memorable moments, such as defeating Brazilian legend BJ Penn in 2011, solidifying his status as one of the top welterweights globally. However, his journey faced setbacks due to suspensions and controversial behavior. Despite this, the Diaz brothers remain beloved by fans for their thrilling fighting styles and tenacious approach to the sport.
