Former heavyweight champion, Andy Ruiz Jr, has been kicked out of his home by his wife, Julie Lemus, after their unceremonious split.
Julie, who had been Ruiz Jr’s long-term girlfriend prior to their marriage, took to social media to trash her ex, sharing a video on TikTok of herself binning Ruiz Jr’s clothes and possessions, including diamonds.
The breakup between Ruiz Jr and Julie has been fraught with drama, as it emerged that the Mexican boxer is now dating social media star Mayeli Alonso.
Despite reportedly being separated for some time, Ruiz Jr’s new relationship has enraged his ex-wife, and she has vowed to reveal the truth with evidence in a statement to be released soon.
Ruiz Jr, 33, has released a statement clarifying that his previous romantic relationship with Julie had already ended before he started his new relationship with Mayeli.
He also emphasized that he will continue to prioritize the well-being of his five children, regardless of his relationship status.
This latest development comes as Ruiz Jr is looking to revive his professional boxing career after losing his heavyweight belts to Anthony Joshua in 2019.
He has since defeated Chris Arreola and Luis Ortiz and has been pursuing a title eliminator against Deontay Wilder or even a potential match against Tyson Fury in the UK this summer.
However, his personal life appears to have taken a tumultuous turn with his split from Julie and new relationship with Mayeli Alonso.
