Paddy the Baddy says ‘you never know’ as he shares family update

Paddy ‘the Baddy’ Pimblett was supported by fans as he shared a family update. The MMA fighter is enjoying some downtime after victory in UFC 304 in July of this year.

It’s been a busy year for Paddy. He and his wife Laura Gregory welcomed twin baby girls in April. The Huyton-born Mixed Martial Artist tied the knot with long-term partner Laura in a ceremony attended by the likes of fellow UFC star Molly McCann and singer Jamie Webster last year.

Paddy, 29, and Laura have been together since they were teenagers. He proposed to her while they were on holiday in Thailand three years ago.

Paddy shared some adorable photos of himself, Laura, and their new arrivals. He said: "17/4/2024 the day our lives changed forever. All worth it for you two perfect little girls, Betsy and Margot Pimblett".

They have now enjoyed their first holiday together as a family. In an Instagram post earlier this month, Paddy shared numerous photos of them on holiday in Alcúdia, a town in Majorca, Spain. The fighter hinted there could be more additions to come.

Paddy said: “What a trip away to Alcudia, first one of many, just the four of us making family memories until we become a five or a fix or a seven, you just never know.” He followed this with a laughing emoji and tagged Laura in the post.

Many fans took to the comments to send their support to the family. Aidan Farrelly said: “That’s what it’s all about. Beautiful family.” Ellis said: “Aww boss photos! Have a boss time Paddy and Laura, the babies are so cute.” Keyleigh Lawrenson added: “Your babies are so bloody cute! Always smiling!”

Paddy also found the time last week to return to Milan as his team Liverpool FC played AC Milan again in the Champions League. The reds won the match held at the San Siro stadium 3-1. This follows a 2-0 victory over Inter Milan held in the same stadium in 2022.

Sharing a picture of him in the away end, Paddy said: “Belter away trip to Milan. Two trips to the San Siro, now two wins for the mighty reds against Milan and Inter.”

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Paddy had donated £25,000 to Georgian Quarter charity James’ Place which will enable a group of men in suicidal crisis to receive treatment. Paddy was inspired to act after the death of a friend.

The MMA professional said: “I've spent some time talking to the team at James' Place and they are amazing at helping men in suicidal crisis. Receiving news that a friend took his own life because of mental health struggles made me realise I couldn’t stand by and do nothing with the public platform that I’m so lucky to have.”

Ellen O’Donoghue, chief executive of James’ Place, said: “We cannot thank Paddy, and everyone who has donated to The Baddy Foundation, enough for their support.

"From the moment Paddy shared his own story of loss, he has supported James’ Place in our mission to reach more men and stop them from dying by suicide. Speaking out about suicide is so important, and this kind of support makes our vital work possible. We really are so grateful.”
