2026 is already off to a great start for Alex Pereira and Tracy Cortez — the two UFC stars went public with their romance … and sealed it with a kiss!!
The light heavyweight champ shared an inside look at his New Year’s Eve festivities on Wednesday … showing 38-year-old Poatan and his loved ones setting off some fireworks and sparklers in a backyard.
It turns out the 32-year-old flyweight was among those present for the bash … as Pereira posted a picture of them wearing matching sweaters with his hands around her waist.
Cortez also shared a snap on her own Instagram that showed the two fighters locking lips.
Cortez — who was previously engaged to fellow UFC star Brian Ortega — has been on Pereira’s home turf for a bit now … as she said last week she was experiencing her first Christmas in Brazil.
Pereira notably dated Merle Christine earlier in the 2020s … but that fizzled out a few years back.
Pereira is 13-3 in his career after going 1-1 in his two matchups with Magomed Ankalaev in 2025. Cortez (12-3) also had one win in two bouts the past year.
It’s unclear when these two went official … but taking things to social media is certainly a big step for their relationship.
