Jon Jones is not married. Reporting consistently describes him as engaged to his high school sweetheart, Jessie Moses, after a 2013 proposal, and no public record or announcement of a wedding turned up in my search. I found no first-hand confirmation of their status in 2026, and no report that either has announced a split or a marriage.

Is Jon Jones Married?
Jones proposed to Moses in 2013 and she accepted, but he has never married her. The reason is unknown. The couple is often assumed to be married, but Jones himself has not confirmed a marriage.
Some entertainment listings call Moses his spouse. For example, IMDb’s biography page says he is married to Jessie Moses. That conflicts with the way Jones has described her publicly. After one fight he thanked “my beautiful fiancée Jessie” for being his biggest supporter. Fiancée is the term to rely on.
Who Is Jessie Moses?
Jones and Moses met and started dating at Endicott High School in New York. They reportedly became romantic around 2005, near the end of their secondary education. Moses has largely kept her personal and family life private, even though she has supported Jones throughout his career. She does not give interviews or run a public brand, so much of what circulates online about her is thin or unsourced.
Relationship Timeline
- 2005: They reportedly began dating in high school, then parted ways before finding their way back to each other.
- 2013: Jones proposed on Easter, after dating for nearly a decade.
- September 2021: Jones was jailed in Las Vegas on Sept. 24, 2021, on misdemeanor domestic battery and felony vehicle damage charges. The domestic battery charges were later dropped, and he pleaded no contest to a lesser misdemeanor of destruction of property. Moses told officers that Jones “did not hit me or anything.”
- February 2022: Jones posted, in a since-deleted tweet, that his fiancée had left him about two months earlier and that she would not be coming back.
- UFC 285: Moses accompanied Jones for his heavyweight debut, after he had not publicly acknowledged her since February 2022. He called her his “biggest supporter” in his post-fight speech.
- UFC 309 (November 2024): Moses was seen alongside Jones after his win over Stipe Miocic, and she was handed the title belt in the Octagon.
The public record shows a long relationship with at least one publicly acknowledged separation and a reunion. Neither has explained the reunion in detail, so I am not going to guess at it.
Is Jon Jones Dating Anyone Else?
I found no credible reporting that Jones is dating anyone other than Moses. Be careful with automated dating databases. At least one that surfaced in my searches describes a different man named Jon Jones, a bassist, and its details do not apply to the fighter.
Children and Family
Most outlets report that Jones and Moses have three daughters together. Some sources say four. I am not naming the children, and I can only say that the total varies by outlet. Separately, Jones announced in June 2024 that he had been granted 50/50 custody of his son. Moses is not the boy’s mother. That is all that is publicly established, and it is not a topic for speculation.
Jones comes from an athletic family. His brothers Arthur and Chandler Jones have both played in the NFL and won Super Bowls. He also had an older sister who died of brain cancer just before her 18th birthday. He has a tattoo of her favorite Bible verse, Philippians 4:13, on his chest in her memory.
Where Jones Is Now
On the fight side, Jones officially retired in June 2025. On October 10, 2026, he wrote on X, “More than likely, I won’t fight again.” He added that he is still being drug tested and is leaving doors open. He has been focused on coaching heavyweight prospect Gable Steveson. One secondary source, a net worth profile updated this month, says he spends time with his family at his home in New Mexico. I could not confirm that against a primary outlet, so treat it as an unverified detail.
