Chris Eubank Jr will have plenty of fans cheering him on against Conor Benn – including his secret girlfriend and a current Strictly Come Dancing star. Eubank Jr is set for another mammoth fight against Benn, seven months after beating his rival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Eubank Jr outpointed Benn in a dramatic grudge match in April under the lights in north London. Now they’ll do it all over again in front of another raucous crowd, just days after Eubank Jr made a rare personal admission; he is set to become a father.
He revealed the exciting news to his father, who is also set to be at the fight on Saturday, in a recent BBC documentary entitled ‘The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son,’ which aired earlier this week.
In the show, Eubank Jr detailed the four-year estrangement between himself and his father as well as their reunion a day before the biggest fight of his life. It was near the end of the show that he told his own father that he’s set to become a dad for the first time to twin boys.
Taking to X, Eubank Jr shared the heartwarming clip from the show and captioned it: “So yes many of you guessed it. I will soon be joining the dad gang. Only difference is I’ll be joining as a father of two! Twin boys!!

“I’m so grateful for such a blessing & I will do my absolute best to give them the happiest upbringing I possibly can… just like my old man did for me.” In the clip on BBC iPlayer, Eubank Jr told his father: ‘I want to start that next chapter in my life. You’ve got two grandsons that are on the way.
“I never thought about being a father for my whole life, I want to be the type of father who can and talk to me about anything. I couldn’t do that with my old man, I couldn’t.”
The 36-year-old is a household name when it comes to boxing but not much is known about his personal relationships, specifically his love life.
Eubank Jr has made his relationship with his long-term girlfriend as private as possible, which has been a consistent theme throughout his life which has been in the public eye due to the fame of his father.

He’s revealed in the past that he’s had girlfriends, but has never named them, admitting before his 2019 fight against James DeGale: “I’ve had girlfriends throughout the years, staying on and off, but nothing permanent.”
While a relationship was never confirmed, Eubank Jr was once spotted embracing current Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison following his victory over Gary O’Sullivan in 2015. Pattison, who gained fame after starring in reality show Geordie Shore, had won ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ that same year.

Her stay in the jungle saw her meet Eubank Sr, who was also participating in the show and it was after the fight, Pattison revealed that she was “in love” with Eubank Jr. “I had such a good time at Chris Eubank Jr’s fight,” she said at the time.
She admitted she did stop short of making a move on the boxer as she added: “He’s my jungle pal Chris Eubank’s son and I’m in love with him. He’s gorgeous. But it’d probably terrify Chris Sr if I ever tried to get with him. I think I’m the only person in the world he’d be scared of.”
