Ryan García, the famed 26-year-old boxer, has reportedly come to an agreement with his estranged ex-wife Andrea Celina over a contentious restraining order and custody dispute. The deal, finalized by a judge on Thursday, will see García paying Celina a whopping $23,663 per month, alongside an additional $20,000 to cover her credit card bills. On top of these payments, Ryan will also cover the expenses for her car, as well as health, vision, and dental insurance for both Celina and their two children.
This resolution follows months of legal conflict between the pair, beginning when Celina filed for a restraining order against García in July, citing his “menacing, threatening, and erratic” behavior. As part of the agreement, Celina has agreed to drop the temporary restraining order she had placed on the boxer.

In addition to the financial settlement, the custody arrangement has been resolved with Celina being granted primary custody of their two children. While Celina will spend more time with the children, García and his ex-wife will share joint physical custody, meaning the boxer will still have scheduled time with his kids.
Despite the heavy financial settlement, García appeared upbeat when approached by TMZ reporters in Los Angeles, confidently stating he was “always happy” with the outcome. The resolution marks a key personal victory for the athlete, even as he navigates professional challenges.
Garcia’s career recently hit a snag when his victory against Devin Haney in April was overturned following a positive test for the performance-enhancing drug Ostarine. This resulted in Garcia’s expulsion from the WBC and a one-year suspension from boxing, leaving the athlete to grapple with both personal and professional turmoil. Though sidelined from the sport for now, García remains a key figure in the boxing world, and fans eagerly await his return to the ring once his suspension is lifted.
With the legal drama behind him, García can now focus on his family and future career aspirations, though his one-year suspension looms large.
