Chris Eubank Jr<\/a> will have plenty of supporters backing him against Conor Benn<\/a> \u2013 including his mystery partner and a current Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> celebrity.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr is gearing up for another blockbuster bout against Benn<\/a>, seven months after defeating his opponent<\/a> at the Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur Stadium. Eubank Jr secured a points victory over Benn in a thrilling grudge encounter in April beneath the floodlights in north London.<\/p>\n

Now they’re set to clash once more before another boisterous audience, just days after Eubank Jr made an uncommon personal revelation; he’s expecting to become a father<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He shared the thrilling announcement with his own dad, who will also be ringside on Saturday, during a recent BBC documentary called ‘The Eubanks: Like Father, Like Son,’ which was broadcast earlier this week.<\/p>\n

In the programme, Eubank Jr discussed the four-year rift between himself and his father, as well as their reconciliation just one day before the most significant bout of his career.<\/p>\n

It was towards the conclusion of the show that he informed his own father that he’s preparing to become a dad for the first time to twin boys.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Eubank Jr shared the touching moment from the programme and wrote: “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!!<\/p>\n

“I’m so grateful for such a blessing and 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 footage available on BBC iPlayer, Eubank Jr revealed to his father: ‘I want to start that next chapter in my life. You’ve got two grandsons that are on the way.<\/p>\n

“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 has become a recognisable figure in the boxing<\/a> world, yet little is known about his personal relationships, particularly his romantic life.<\/p>\n

Eubank Jr has kept his relationship with his long-term partner extremely private, which reflects a pattern throughout his life spent in the spotlight due to his father’s celebrity status.<\/p>\n

He has previously disclosed having girlfriends but has never revealed their identities, confessing ahead of his 2019 bout against James DeGale: “I’ve had girlfriends throughout the years, staying on and off, but nothing permanent.”<\/p>\n

Though no romance was ever officially confirmed, Eubank Jr was once photographed in an embrace with current Strictly Come Dancing contestant Vicky Pattison<\/a> after his triumph over Gary O’Sullivan in 2015.<\/p>\n

Pattison, who rose to prominence on reality programme Geordie Shore, had claimed victory in ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’<\/a> during that same year.<\/p>\n

During her stint in the jungle, she encountered Eubank Sr, who was also a participant on the show.<\/p>\n

After watching the fight, Pattison confessed her feelings for Eubank Jr. “I had such a good time at Chris Eubank Jr’s<\/a> fight,” she gushed.<\/p>\n

However, she admitted that she refrained from making a move on the boxer.<\/p>\n

She explained: “He’s my jungle pal Chris Eubank’s son and I’m in love with him.<\/p>\n

“He’s gorgeous. But it’d probably terrify Chris Sr if I ever tried to get with him.<\/p>\n

“I think I’m the only person in the world he’d be scared of.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chris Eubank Jr’s love life is one the British boxer keeps under wraps but a Strictly Come Dancing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265190,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,26599,101,56,54,55,9803],"class_list":["post-265189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-chris-eubank-jr","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-vicky-pattison"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
