Love, Fight, and Redemption: The Story of Gina Carano and Kevin Ross
Gina Carano and Kevin Ross tied the knot in August 2022 after dating on and off for over two decades. Carano revealed their marriage in March 2026 during a press conference for her MMA fight with Ronda Rousey. She shared that she had moved to Montana and married her "first and last love," Kevin Ross, whom she described as the best thing she had ever done. Prior to Ross, Carano was in a relationship with Henry Cavill, which ended in 2014. Carano faced controversy in 2021 and was fired from The Mandalorian, leading to a lawsuit against Disney that was settled in 2025.
Kevin Ross, born in Reading, Pa., on July 27, 1980, had a nomadic childhood, moving frequently and attending various schools. He started training in Muay Thai in Las Vegas in 2003 and had a successful career as a Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer, earning the nickname "The Soul Assassin." Ross won multiple titles and accolades before retiring in June 2021. He and Carano first started dating in 2001, and Ross's dedication to fighting inspired Carano to pursue a career in mixed martial arts. Despite their demanding careers leading to their romantic split, they remained close friends, with Carano acknowledging Ross's significant impact on her life and career.
