Merle has appeared in other videos with Pereira since the initial one, giving supporters the impression that their relationship was easy. The relationship, however, has taken a sharp turn as of late, as a keen-eyed admirer has observed that the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion no longer follows his fiancรฉe on Instagram.
Pereira has also started posting proactive photos to his Instagram stories, which has contributed to the allegations that the Brazilian athlete is no longer in a relationship with Merle. However, Merle has been posting inspirational messages about controlling one’s wrath and self-clarity; this may be a subtle barb at Pereira for rumoured to have a short fuse.
Following these back-and-forths on social media, neither party has made an official announcement regarding their breakup. It would be interesting to see if this ends up being a short-term or long-term split but both have broken up for now.
Alex Pereira has a track record of broken hearts
Pereira is hardly the first person to end a romance. The Light Heavyweight Champion was previously married, according to earlier reports, but that marriage didn’t last long because Pereira divorced his ex-wife after they had two children together.
The details of Pereira’s marriage and divorce are unclear. Regarding his ex-wife, not much information is accessible. However, he has two sons named Lohan Vidal Silva and Alessandro Vidal Silva. Although Pereira has made every effort to keep his kid out of the spotlight, Alessandro has grown to play a significant role in his father’s battle with Israel Adesanya.
After Pereira defeated Adesanya in his second kickboxing match against the “Stylebender,” Alessandro made fun of the fighter outside the ring. Raising his two sons together with Merle, Pereira’s life was set to take a turn following this most recent split.
Even if Alex Pereira is struggling outside of the octagon, he is winning big in the UFC thanks to his most recent victory at UFC 295, where he defeated Jiri Prochazka in Round 2 to take home the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship.
In the second round of UFC 268 at the time, “Poatan” stunned Andreas Michailidis with a flying knee takeover. The Brazilian has won titles in two different divisions over the past two years, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
