The former UFC men's flyweight champion who maintains a discreet personal life recently revealed that he has a gay brother and a lesbian sister. While detailing the challenges of such sensitive issues around his children.

"I have a lesbian sister and a brother who likes men. It's a hard subject, I keep it real, I tell my brother all the time I was like don't be come over here with that .... I told that to my kids too. But he's cool, he said it too. I've two twin brothers and we're hanging out and he came out and he said, we knew he was gay to begin with we didn't care. We still love him, we'd be hanging out and playing video games, he'd be like 'I'm a bad b*tch.'"

Johnson added:

"Next thing we know, we're hanging out and he goes, 'guys I'm still the same, I just like men that's all I do.' I'm like it's fine we've no problem, but my kids, they're around my brother and I just tell them, and they're like hey, they see the other twin who is with a woman but they haven't seen my brother with his partner and when that time comes, I'm gonna be like, 'he's an adult, he has chosen to love a man, there's nothing wrong with it whatsoever."
