Gina Carano Wiki, Age, Height, Weight, Net Worth, Relationship

Gina Carano was raised in a sports-loving family, so her decision to become a fighter came as no surprise to her family. Glenn Carano, Gina’s father, instilled a love of sports in his three daughters (Gina is the middle one), as he was a professional American football player for the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Maulers. Gina’s boyfriend selection is also unsurprising: she mostly dated her coworkers who were fighters, kickboxers, or at the very least bodybuilders.

Quick Facts

Gina Carano Family

Gina has always been an athlete; after a few years of taking dance classes, she moved on to gymnastics; and during her high school years, she played volleyball, basketball, and softball. However, Gina’s family was going through a major crisis, so she turned down all college basketball, and volleyball offers to stay close to her family members.

It was the time when Gina’s older sister was having serious drug problems; the situation was made even more difficult by the fact that Gina’s parents were already divorced at the time, so they worked hard to make their children feel comfortable in any life situation.

Gina didn’t mind talking about it by 2007, as her family had overcome all obstacles. Kevin Ross was the one who stood by Gina during that trying time. He had been training in Muay Thai for a few years by the time they began dating in 2005, under the tutelage of Master Toddy, the famous trainer. Kevin persuaded Gina to begin her fighting career, as well as to train in Muay Thai.

Gina decided to pursue a fighting career after finishing her studies – first for a year at the University of Nevada, Reno, and then for three years at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. ‘He truly launched my career and gave my life meaning.’ Strangely, it happened; I’m not sure if it wasn’t for him. He’s the type of person who completely changed his life in one day, and that affected mine,’ Gina said in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun Fighting about Kevin Ross’s influence on her career.

Who Has Gina Carano Dated? Relationship And Affairs

Kevin Ross was a very successful kickboxer who trained in Thailand for a long time, bringing Gina along to see the real world of kickboxing and training with the most experienced masters, including Master Toddy, who trained Kevin Ross. In less than a year, she was recognized as a potential fighter and even invited to star in a reality series called “Ring Girls,” which was later promoted at the Bangkok Film Festival.

Gina and Kevin supported one another because they both had the same goals: to train, fight, and win. They were even sparring partners while training: “When we were dating, we used to beat the crap out of each other!” It was pretty amusing to watch because I’d get emotional and try to knock his head off, and he’d have to gently put me in my place,’ Gina recalls in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun Fighting in 2008. However, they were both preoccupied with their respective careers, leaving little time for them to spend together.

Gina and Kevin split up after another year of continuous training and championships. ‘(Fans) are unaware of the sacrifice of friends and family. Having to be in the gym all the time, not being able to go and hang out with your friends,’ Kevin said in one of his interviews in 2008, adding that most of his family members and friends, let alone fans have no idea what it takes to be a professional fighter. They decided to remain friends in 2008 because they would still see each other frequently while working in the same field. They realized, however, that their relationship had no chance of lasting any longer.

According to some sources, Kevin was not pleased with Gina’s decision to try her hand at acting after her successful debut in “Ring Girls.” Another offer to voice Natasha Volkova in the video game “Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3” in 2008 made Gina believe she had a real shot at Hollywood, while Kevin tried to persuade her to focus on her fighting career. They split because they were tired of arguing.

Kristopher Lee’ Kit’ Cope

Kristopher Lee’ Kit’ Cope, an experienced Muay Thai kickboxer from Williams, Arizona, hosted the sports show “Wild World of Spike” in 2007 and continued his fighting career, frequently traveling to Thailand to compete in local lethwei matches. He met Gina there and was captivated by her self-assurance and fighting prowess. Gina and Kevin Ross began dating shortly after Gina ended her relationship with Kevin Ross.

Gina’s popularity grew day by day, and by 2008, she was regarded as one of the best MMA female kickboxers. Gina was invited to grace the cover of Maxim in 2009, which was photographed by renowned photographer Steve Shawn. Gina’s fans, on the other hand, were dissatisfied with the resulting photos, which were edited with breast implants, which were, in fact, impossible because they would prevent her from fighting effectively. Kit stood by Gina, who was upset that her photos were made to look perfect, whereas she wanted to appear realistic.

By the end of 2009, Kit had popped the big question to Gina, and the couple had announced their engagement. However, the couple eventually divorced without giving any reason for their unexpected split. The same year, Kit revealed that he kept a sex tape with Gina in his bedroom that she was unaware of; in the same record, Kit also stated that he wasn’t sure Gina would still be successful if she continued to fight for Xtreme Couture, one of the most popular mixed martial arts training organizations.

Kit married Lacee Casas, another kickboxer, in 2016. There is no word on whether he is still friends with Gina.

Tyson Griffin

When Gina was officially single in 2011, rumors about her attraction to another kickboxer, Tyson Griffin, began to circulate.

Gina and Tyson first met in 2007 and were seen together on November 15, 2008, while attending the UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar event at the MGM Garden Arena, talking a lot, joking, and smiling all the time; if Gina weren’t dating Kit Cope at the time, anyone would think they were a couple. On September 4, 2011, Tyson was hosting a fundraising event for the Boys Town of Nevada, which he also mentors, and Gina was invited as a guest star to draw attention to the event.
Although Gina and Tyson were frequently seen together, neither Gina nor Tyson ever declared that they were in a relationship.
