Boxer caught cheating on pregnant fiancee: 'Got caught up in the moment'

Boxing champion Ryan Garcia has apologised publicly after the lightweight title holder was caught cheating on his pregnant fiancee.

Garcia, 22, was filmed kissing another woman passionately outside a restaurant in Los Angeles in the middle of the footpath.

His partner, Drea Celina, reacted to the footage on social media, labelling Garcia a "liar" and slamming his actions seven weeks ahead of her due date.

"He tells me he's training hard for this fight. But IG shows me this," Celina wrote.

"7 weeks left till I give birth and this piece of s--- stay being disgusting."

Celina also revealed Garcia "barely even sees" his daughter Rylie with ex-partner Catherine Gámez, adding he is "a horrible person."

It was revealed the woman was singer Malu Trevejo, who boasts over 8.5 million followers across Instagram and TikTok.

Trevejo said on social media that she was aware Garcia had a child, but hadn't known about his pregnant partner.

"Yeah he told me he had a kid, but he never told me that he was engaged and he never told me that he had another baby coming," she explained.

"But he's a really nice dude and I didn't know that. Let's just not get into that. I just woke up and I'm seeing all this s---."

Trevejo added, upon confronting Garcia, he informed her he was in an "on and off" relationship with his pregnant partner.

The professional boxer apologised for his actions, confirming he and Celina were still together.

"Just clearing some things I seen regarding Malu and Drea," he wrote in a since-deleted social media post.

"Andrea and I aren't engaged but we were still trying to fix our relationship.

Garcia added his relationship with Trevejo was friendly and the pair merely "got caught up in the moment" but there "isn't anything there."

"I didn't intend to hurt anyone," the professional boxer added.

"This is my personal life and I'm not going to speak on this ever again."

Garcia has a 20-0 record in his professional boxing career, including 17 knockouts.
