Apparently, relationship drama spares no one—not even Olympic gold medalists. The drama gets particularly potent when you throw OnlyFans into the mix, and that’s precisely what happened with Nicola Adams and Ella Baig. The pair have pulled the plug on their romantic relationship after seven years and having a baby together, and yes—navigating OnlyFans dynamics was part of what upset the apple cart.

Meet the exes: Nicola Adams is an Olympic boxing champion, an LGBTQIA+ icon, a public sweetheart, and a mom. Her resume is beyond impressive and has the potential to knock you out—literally. Ella Baig is a model, a social media influencer, a proud OnlyFans creator with confidence and curves for days, and a mom. She’s built a solid online presence on her own terms, but not everyone is able to handle the demands of a successful content creation business. They had some pretty strong power couple status and managed to smash stereotypes in and out of the ring (they probably broke a couple of OnlyFans servers too, but that’s neither here nor there).

So, the two women were together for seven years—which is roughly 25 in celebrity years—and even went through IVF together in order to welcome their son, Taylor Nate. As Ella’s OnlyFans career gathered steam, things began to shift. While Nicola was training or filming, Ella was posing, posting, and gathering paid subscribers online. The juxtaposition of the two careers offered up some unique challenges. Public scrutiny, privacy problems, and different ideas of what “family-friendly” content means all put unnecessary pressure on the relationship. Throw in learning to be a parent on top of all that and… yikes.

Nicola and Ella did fight for their romantic partnership. They went to therapy—together and separately—but eventually realized they were better off as co-parents than romantic partners. There was no icky cheating scandal, no dishes broken out of anger, just two grown-ups doing their best to make a tough decision that was ultimately the right call. Nicola has repeatedly praised Ella’s independence and confidence, but she has hinted that blending OnlyFans with their new family wasn’t exactly easy.

Despite ending their marriage, both women are committed to raising their son Taylor in a supportive home where he knows he’s loved by both of his parents. Nicola’s choosing to focus her energy on healing and mindfulness—in between being a badass boxing mom. She’s also planning to dive more into film and—apparently—podcasting? Idk, she’s nothing if not successful at everything. Ella’s still thriving on OnlyFans, creating content that has users smashing that ‘subscribe’ button while she’s online, then being the soft and loving mom every little kid deserves to have on their side. Ella and Nicola aren’t together romantically anymore, but together, they make one hell of a powerful parenting duo.

Nicola may be a world champion boxer, but not even she could see the jab love sent their way. Nicola and Ella’s romantic relationship may have moved out of the ring sooner than they would have liked, but they’re still fighting for their family—it just looks a little different than they initially dreamed.
