British boxing star Chris Eubank Jr is heading into his highly anticipated rematch against Conor Benn with more than just victory on his mind, following stunning personal revelations about his private life and impending fatherhood.
Double Joy: Eubank Jr Reveals Twin Pregnancy
In a deeply personal disclosure during the recent BBC documentary 'The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son', Eubank Jr shared life-changing news with his father, Chris Eubank Sr. The 36-year-old boxer revealed he's expecting twin boys, marking his entry into fatherhood for the first time.
The emotional moment captured Eubank Jr telling his father: "I want to start that next chapter in my life. You've got two grandsons that are on the way." He later expanded on this announcement via social media, writing: "So yes many of you guessed it. I will soon be joining the dad gang. Only difference is I'll be joining as a father of two! Twin boys!!"
The Mystery Woman: Eubank Jr's Secret Relationship
While celebrating his impending fatherhood, Eubank Jr has maintained his characteristic privacy regarding his romantic life. The identity of the mother-to-be remains carefully guarded, consistent with the boxer's long-standing approach to keeping relationships away from public scrutiny.
Eubank Jr has previously acknowledged having relationships while speaking before his 2019 fight against James DeGale, stating: "I've had girlfriends throughout the years, staying on and off, but nothing permanent." However, he has never publicly named any partners, maintaining a strict separation between his professional boxing career and personal life.
Strictly Connection: Vicky Pattison's Past Admiration
The documentary revelations come years after reality television star Vicky Pattison openly expressed her admiration for the boxer. Following Eubank Jr's victory over Gary O'Sullivan in 2015, Pattison was spotted embracing the fighter and later made her feelings clear publicly.
"I had such a good time at Chris Eubank Jr's fight," Pattison said at the time. "He's my jungle pal Chris Eubank's son and I'm in love with him. He's gorgeous." The Geordie Shore star and I'm a Celebrity winner did note that she stopped short of pursuing a relationship, adding: "It'd probably terrify Chris Sr if I ever tried to get with him."
Family Reconciliation and Boxing Redemption
The personal revelations emerge alongside significant professional developments. Eubank Jr's documentary also detailed the four-year estrangement from his father and their emotional reconciliation just before what he described as "the biggest fight of his life."
This Saturday, November 15, Eubank Jr faces Conor Benn in their rematch at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, seven months after his dramatic victory over Benn in April. The fight represents another chapter in the storied rivalry between the Eubank and Benn families, with both fathers expected to attend the event.
As Eubank Jr prepares for this crucial bout, he does so with the knowledge that his life is undergoing profound changes both inside and outside the ring. His commitment to privacy remains unwavering, even as he steps into the dual roles of professional athlete and soon-to-be father of twins.
