Recently, she wrote piece detailing the life of being married to a fighter.According to the 40-year-old, she has, on more than one occasion, been the subject of punches and kiches from Ian Garry whilst sleeping. She explained that he would be dreaming he was in the octagon and often wouldn't even wake up:"I've been kicked, elbowed, faced a hammer fist to the nose and taken a body shot all in my slumber. He doesn't even wake up to celebrate landing each shot perfectly. Two weeks out from a fight I now sleep with my back to him and two pillows in between. Poor pillows."
