The MMA star T.J. Dillashaw is living a blissful married life with his gorgeous spouse. They apparently dated for a long time before embracing each other as life partners.
T.J. Dillashaw's Married Life With Wife Rebecca Dillashaw
The well-renowned mixed martial artist T. J. Dillashaw is married to his beautiful wife Rebecca Dillashaw. The couple tied the knot in June 2014.
The couple was reportedly together for a long time before exchanging wedding vows. Three years after their stunning wedding, the lovebirds announced they were expecting a baby boy via social media in June 2017.
On 28th September 2017, the duo welcomed a brand new member to their family, a son named Bronson Jack Dillashaw. Recently the couple celebrated their four years anniversary.
Earlier, T.J. celebrated his honeymoon with Rebecca in Mexico. It's not sure precisely where the wedding took place, but it's possible the ceremony happened in Mexico too as he shared photos of some of his family members there.
The couple dated several years prior to embracing each other as life partners. Apparently, both of them graduated from the same college, so it's a likely possibility the pair first met each other during their college days.
This delightful couple does not claim to have only 3 members in their family since the duo shares a Cane Corso named Smokey, two French Bulldogs named Bunny and Cash, and one Pekinese named Mijo.

Rebecca has a private Instagram account where she mostly dresses Frenchies in cowboy costumes for photos. T.J. himself is a very secretive personality as well. He is rarely ever known to speak about his personal life to the media.
On a rare occasion, the UFC star did speak about his wife, it was Valentine's Day 2017 where he paid a tribute to Rebecca talking her up as a strong woman. T.J. further expressed how lucky he is to have such a woman in his life.
Although the pair is not too vocal about their married life, particularly in recent days, the little that's been spilled so far looks to be enough to conclude they are enjoying a blissful married life.
Despite his busy professional career, he always manages time for his lovely wife and child. He is active on Instagram where he shares his family portraits with his fans.
T.J. even got a huge tattoo on his thigs all dedicated to his wife, Rebecca. In the tattoo, his wife's portrait is encompassed by a tiger's face with a queen crown. The tattoo clearly indicates he considers his wife to the rock of his life and she is a fearless queen.
