Ryan Garcia had fans, fellow fighters and his ex-wife concerned after he shared a string of odd posts on social media on Sunday.
Andrea Celina, his ex-wife and the mother of their son, Henry Leo Garcia, reportedly explained that she believes Garcia “is not ok” after the 25-year-old boxer posted a video with the message: “RYAN GARCIA RIP BITCH.” It also had a caption that read, “THE DEATH OF RYAN GARCIA.”
“If all my followers who are believers can you please pray for Ryan,” Celina wrote in a since-expired message on her Instagram story, according to The Daily Mail. “We are not together and i’ve been in contact with him and he may seen fine but he is not.
“I know in my heart he is being heavily oppressed. This is not a troll, I’m genuinely concerned and so is all his family members. We are not part of any of this and want him to get better but this IS REAL. Pray for him.”
In a comment to a fan that asked if Garcia is ok, his father, Henry Garcia, reportedly wrote: “Yes Ryan is ok , he’s just trolling the wrong way. No there’s more to it . Trust.”
Garcia, the former WBC interim lightweight champion, has yet to address his ex-wife’s message.
Garcia announced their divorce last month in a now-deleted post on Instagram, which came on the same day he shared the news of their son’s birth.
The boxer filed for divorce due to “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents obtained by TMZ. They were together since 2019.
Garcia’s post, which featured random letters and other cryptic remarks, included a video that appeared to show someone shuffling through a home.
Fans expressed their concern in the comments, as well as MMA fighter Dillon Danis and Diego Sanchez, who currently competes on the Super Lightweight division of Eagle Fighting Championship.
“I’ll pay for you to get help man feel bad for you,” Danis wrote.
“Praying for you Ryan… your young and under spiritual attack you have opened doorways for the enemy to attack you,” Sanchez added. “You don’t have to reach rock bottom like I did to repent and be delivered…”
The video was still posted on Garcia’s social media as of Monday morning.
Garcia is currently dating Mikaela Testa, an Australian influencer with over 400,000 followers on Instagram, according to reports.
In one of his posts over the weekend, Garcia shared a video that showed him kissing his ex, Hehleena Million.
“We broke up a long time ago @hehleena but I’m coming back I LOVE YOU!” Garcia wrote, to which Million responded in the comments with: “I always loved you Ry.”
Garcia is set to fight Devin Haney at Barclays Center on April 20.
In a separate post on Instagram, which promoted the bout, Garcia said he’s hiring and tagged Kylie Jenner saying, “I love you.”
The Post reached out to Garcia’s promoter Golden Boy Promotions and did not receive an immediate reply.
