Although his boxing career is very public and in the mainstream media, it’s safe to say Opetaia’s personal life is pretty private. This is often the case with celebrities and sports people in the public eye.
It is totally understandable an reasonable for Jai Opetaia, who boasts a net worth of over £2m, to want to keep his personal life out of the limelight.
However, one thing we do know is that Opetaia is engaged to long-term lover Kanesha Murray. The 30-year-old has been with Kanesha for several years now, with the couple seemingly happily in love.
This means that Opetaia’s girlfriend isn’t just his girlfriend at all – they are indeed more than that! They have been engaged for a few of years now.
It is unknown when the pair first met and began dating, but it is at least six years ago, if not more. Opetaia got down on one knee back in March 2021, popping the question to his then girlfriend. Murray said yes, with the pair happily engaged for over four years now.
Jai Opetaia’s record is 28-0 in professional boxing, but perhaps his biggest achievement comes outside the ring when becoming a father for the very first time.
As if things couldn’t get any better for the Australian in his life right now, he and his fiancée Kanesha Murray became parents for the very first time in July 2024.
Opetaia’s fiancée and he welcomed a baby girl into the world, calling their new-born baby Lyla Robyn Opetaia.
It is evident that Jai Opetaia and his partner are all loved up and are over the moon to have welcomed their child into the world and become parents for the very first time.
