Ryan Garcia announces new influencer girlfriend following divorce from model ex-wife Andrea Celina – who gave birth to their second child less than two months ago – as boxing star reveals he is training her to fight
American boxing star Ryan Garcia has announced he has a new girlfriend – less than two months after splitting from 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 within minutes.
Court documents later revealed he did so because of “irreconcilable differences” with his wife of three years, despite still promising to financially support their two children – three-year-old Bela and newborn Henry.
And following his split from Celina, Garcia has wasted no time in moving on to his next partner.
In a social media post, the 25-year-old spoke about new girlfriend Mikaela Testa – an Australian influencer with more than 400,000 followers on Instagram.

He is now dating Australian influencer Testa, who has more than 400,000 Instagram followers
He also claimed that he trained Mikaela in the boxing ring, calling on the 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 right now but she’s my boo @mikkimouse404.”
The 25-1 fighter added: “I’m going to teach her how to fight! She’s the next @misfitsboxing’.
Garcia, who is currently gearing up to fight WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney on April 20, then captioned a 50-50 photo of himself and Testa, writing, “Look this is my baby, MY QUEEN BELIEVE THAT! !
“Stop judging her because she’s perfect, no. But is that you? I THOUGHT SO. I love her so stop hating. By the way, I’m training her to fight and I’m willing to put her against anyone on @misfitsboxing and if you think you can take her, tag yourself in and I’ll set up a fight and you’ll walk away with a bag.
“Not less than $500,000 and a percentage PPV if it makes sense.”
Last month, exclusive photos from Ny Breaking.com showed Celina leaving her ex-husband’s lavish $3 million California home almost three weeks after announcing the divorce.
Andrea – real name Andrea Celina Velarde – was spotted in a luxury cafe near the former couple’s luxurious home, with newborn son Henry strapped to her chest.
In a now-deleted post, Garcia wrote about their split: “As I enter a new chapter in my life, it is with a heavy heart to share that Drea and I have decided to divorce.
“While this decision marks the end of our marriage, it is important to emphasize that our relationship as co-parents remains our top priority.”
Garcia even claimed he was training his new girlfriend in the boxing ring for a ‘Misfits’ fight

He continued, “Throughout our years together, Drea has been an incredible partner and an even more special mother to our two children.
“I am deeply grateful for the years we shared and for her unwavering dedication to our family. “As we move forward, my focus remains on the health and well-being of our two beautiful children. They are and will remain my first priority.
“I am fully committed to working with Drea to ensure that the needs and interests of our children always guide our path forward.
“I believe our mutual commitment to our children is rock-solid, and I trust that together we will provide them with the love, support and stability they need.”
Garcia will attempt to become world champion for the first time when he takes on 140lbs chef Haney on April 20 in New York.
The California-born star successfully bounced back from the first loss of his career against Gervonta Davis by knocking out Oscar Duarte in December.
