American boxing star Ryan Garcia has announced he has a new girlfriend – less than two months after divorcing model ex-wife Andrea Celina.
Garcia, the former WBC interim lightweight champion, made an incredible double revelation early last month when he announced the birth of his second child with Celina and their divorce in a matter of minutes.
Court documents later showed that he did so due to ‘irreconcilable differences’ with his wife of three years, despite still promising to support their two children – three-year-old Bela and newly-born Henry – financially going forward.
And following his split from Celina, Garcia has wasted no time in moving on with his next partner.
In a post on social media, the 25-year-old gushed over new girlfriend Mikaela Testa – an Australian influencer with over 400,000 followers on Instagram.

He also claimed to be training Mikaela in the boxing ring, calling on crossover promotion ‘Misfits’ to sign her up for a fight in the future.
‘On a semi serious note I have a new Girlfriend,’ Garcia first wrote on his Instagram story. ‘Not super serious at this time but she my boo @mikkimouse404’.
The 25-1 fighter added: ‘Ima teach her how to fight! She’s the next one up @misfitsboxing’.
Garcia, who is currently gearing up to face WBC super-lightweight champion Devin Haney on April 20, then captioned a 50-50 photo of himself and Testa and wrote: ‘Look this is my baby, MY QUEEN BELIEVE THAT!!
‘Stop judging her is she perfect no. But are you? THOUGHT SO. I love her so stop hating. Btw, I’m training her to fight and I’m willing to put her against whoever on @misfitsboxing and if you feel you can take her tag your self In it and I’ll set up a fight and you’ll walk away with a bag.
‘No less then 500,000$ and percentage of PPV if it makes sense.’
Last month, exclusive Dailymail.com pictures showed Celina leaving her ex-husband’s lavish $3million California home nearly three weeks after the divorce announcement.
Andrea – real name Andrea Celina Velarde – was seen at an upscale café close to the former couple’s luxury home with newborn son Henry strapped to her chest.
In now-deleted post, Garcia wrote about their split: ‘As I step into a new chapter in my life, it’s with a heavy heart to share that Drea and I have decided to divorce.
‘While this decision marks the end of our marriage, it’s important to emphasize that our relationship as co-parents remains our top priority.’
Garcia even claimed to be training his new girlfriend in the boxing ring for a ‘Misfits’ fight

He went on: ‘Throughout our years together, Drea has been an incredible partner and an even more extraordinary mother to our two children.
‘I’m deeply grateful for the years we shared and for her unwavering commitment to our family. ‘As we move forward, my focus remains on the health and wellbeing of our two beautiful kids. They are and will always be my first priority.
‘I’m fully committed to working with Drea to make sure our children’s needs and best interests always guide our path forward.
‘I believe our mutual devotion to our children is rock solid, and I trust that together we will provide them with the love, support and stability that they need.’
Garcia will bid to become a world champion for the first time when he takes on 140lbs chief Haney in New York on April 20.
The California-born star successfully bounced back from the first defeat of his career against Gervonta Davis by knocking out Oscar Duarte back in December.
