Gina Carano says she is married, and the man she named is Kevin Ross, the former kickboxer and Muay Thai fighter she has known for years. Speaking ahead of her 2026 fight with Ronda Rousey, Carano said, “I moved up to Montana, I live on a farm, I got married,” and added that Ross was her “first and last love.”
Ross later told the California Post that the couple married in August of 2022 in a courthouse wedding. He said their families did not know for a few months after the ceremony, adding, “We just wanted to keep it to ourselves,” a sign that the couple chose privacy even as Carano’s profile rose again around the fight.
The revelation landed on March 10, 2026, after a Netflix Sports post highlighted Carano’s comments and turned a private detail into public news. That timing matters because Carano was speaking in the run-up to her return to the spotlight against Rousey, a matchup that comes after the two women returned following a combined 26 years of inactivity.
Carano and Ross have had a long, interrupted history. They dated in 2001, split years later, and Ross said they got back together in 2015 before marrying seven years after that. His account fills in the missing piece behind Carano’s brief on-air remark, which made clear she had settled into a different life in Montana while remaining tied to someone from her past.
That contrast is the real story here: a public comeback, and a marriage kept out of sight until Carano chose to say it aloud. Ross did not frame the wedding as a major announcement. He described it as something the couple wanted to keep for themselves, and by the time he spoke, the secrecy had already lasted long enough to surprise even people close to them. For now, the answer to the headline is simple. Gina Carano’s husband is Kevin Ross, and they have been married since August of 2022.
