Arianny Celeste: UFC Ring Card Girl Dating Blink 182 Drummer Travis Barker, Sources Say Relationship Getting Serious


Arianny Celeste is in the news again, though this time the UFC ring card girl is making headlines not for a catty feud but a famous new boyfriend.

The 29-year-old Celeste was been spotted with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, and sources say the two have been dating for a few weeks.

“They are crazy about each other, having tons of fun – and she could be the one,” a source told People magazine. “They met at one of his shows and have been hanging out ever since.”

Arianny Celeste has been in the headlines quite a bit lately, with UFC star Ronda Rousey saying the ring card girl shouldn’t be making more than the actual fighters. Celeste has a net worth of about $1 million, per Fox Sports.

Rousey said as follows.

“I think that they should get paid more than the ring girls… I don’t know if the ring girls get paid too much or the fighters don’t get paid enough … There’s definitely a lot more in what the fighters do than what they do. So, I think that’s one thing that’s unfair.”

But Arianny Celeste fired back, telling MMA Junkie Radio that Rousey was out of line and calling her a “bully.”

“I’m not going to talk about her because I’m not a fighter. I’m not going to waste my time. I actually don’t talk about anyone. It blows my mind that someone who doesn’t even know me continuously picks on me. And that’s all I see her as: a big bully.”

This, apparently, wasn’t a good answer for Rousey, who responded by calling out Celeste for not doing more to stand up for women’s salaries in the UFC.

“For her to take that personally – you know what would have been the best thing for her to say? ‘Oh my god! You know? These fighters work so hard. And I wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for them and I just admire them so much. Yeah, I definitely think that they should get paid more than anybody in the arena tonight.’ There you go, a PR lesson for her.”

Celeste closed the chapter on the feud by reminding Ronda Rousey that she’s not a fighter and calling on Rousey to take the high road.

Arianny Celeste is not the only one with some marks in her past. Travis Barker was known for being featured in the reality show Meet the Barkers along with then-wife Shanna Moakler, but that relationship turned toxic and the pair split.
