Nunez is an MMA fighter and the pair have been in a relationship since 2018. They already had one child in 2018, a daughter named Amaia Nevaeh Nunez and now welcomed their second child, a son named Daxton Wylder Nunez.

However, the delivery did not go as planned. Tate shared the story on her Instagram and added that the plan was to have the delivery in a hospital.

But the delivery took another turn and the two had to welcome their child at home in Singapore:

“Today I became a Mother all over again! The experience was incredible, we planned a hospital birth but our son had other plans!”

Tate also thanked Nunez for all the support he provided during the delivery.
