Ian Garry, on the cusp of the most significant fight of his UFC career, also places immense importance on his family. He shares a biological son with his wife, Layla Anna-Lee, and is also a stepfather to her son from a previous marriage. Garry adopted the surname 'Machado' to create a unified family identity for both children.
Garry and Anna-Lee, an English television presenter, publicly began their relationship in March 2021 and married in February 2022. Their son, Leandro "Leo" Vegas Machado Garry, was born in October 2022. Layla's older son is from her previous marriage to Richard Cullen, who now works as Garry's nutritionist.
The decision to adopt the shared surname 'Machado' was driven by Garry's desire to strengthen the bond between his sons, ensuring they feel a distinct familial connection. This focus on family extends to matching tattoos the couple shares, symbolizing their commitment. As Garry prepares for his welterweight title bout, his family remains a central pillar in his life.
