In an unexpected turn of events, internet sensation Hailey Welch, famously known as the “Hawk Tuah girl,” has found herself at the center of attention once again. This time, it’s due to her recent revelation about receiving numerous direct messages from UFC star Sean O’Malley.
Welch, who rose to fame after a candid street interview went viral, disclosed this information during an episode of her podcast, “Talk Tuah.” The 21-year-old influencer shared that O’Malley had been “messaging her all week” and even attempted to contact her through multiple Instagram calls.
When questioned about the nature of these messages, Welch was quick to clarify that they were innocuous. “He’s so nice, he’s just like, ‘What are you doing?'” she explained. She also expressed surprise at O’Malley’s persistence, stating, “When he first DM’d me I had like five missed calls from him on Instagram – I didn’t even know you could do that!”
This revelation has raised eyebrows in the MMA community, given that O’Malley is married to Danya Gonzalez, with whom he shares a daughter, Elena, born in December 2020. The UFC fighter has previously been open about his unconventional relationship dynamics, discussing what he calls an “open relationship” with his wife.
O’Malley’s past statements about his marriage arrangements have been controversial. In a previous interview, he stated, “I’m a king! I pay for everything… I treat Dany like a queen. If I get a little attention on the side, what does that have to do with anything?”
