All about the mother of Alex Pereira’s kids

Alex Pereira is now one of the biggest names in the UFC. Only the avid followers might be aware of his pre-UFC career and life. However, when most of the UFC audience started taking an interest in him, they got to know that Pereira has two sons. So with whom did he have his children? Was it his ex-girlfriend, Merle?

No. Pereira had his two sons with his ex-wife, whose identity remains unknown to this day. Both of Alex Pereira’s sons look like they are in the early years of their adolescence. Reportedly, his eldest is in his teenage years.
