Personal Life
Broner is married to Arie Nicole. Back in 2012, after a boxing match, he pulled up a prank by getting down to his knee as if to propose to Arie. But when he knelt down, he only asked her to brush his hair. In the video, Arie laughed at the prank but later expressed disappointment with a tweet, “SMH.”
However, in November 2015, Broner did propose to her officially. According to him, the engagement ring cost about $137,000. This was after the two had a public fight due to Broner allegedly cheating on her.
Adrien Broner Controversies
Through his Instagram account, Broner shared alarming captions and images hinting suicide in October 2016. In that same month, he was also charged with battery for purportedly choking a waitress at a nightclub. In the next year, he was arrested again for not appearing in court for his 2014 arrest.
In February 2018, he was sent to Fulton County Jail for a charge of misdemeanor sexual battery. However, he was later released through bail. In December 2019, he was fined $830,000 for sexual assault at a nightclub in June 2018.
His marriage has always been in a limbo due to the accusations of the infidelities of Broner. There were several incidents that have linked him to cheating on his wife. Worse, he is also accused of numerous sexual assaults.
According to Arie in a tweet, early this January, she and Adrien are already done for many months now. While it may seem that she doesn’t care anymore, the tweet is more like asking people to stop tagging her in posts about Adrien cheating.
