Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford stepped into the ring against Canelo Álvarez under the lights at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The boxing match, which kicked off on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. ET (6:30 a.m. IST on Sunday, September 14), wrapped with another historic win, toppling one of boxing’s biggest names.
But behind the ring, Crawford’s story is incomplete without his long-time partner, Alindra Person, and the family they’ve built together. For more than two decades, the pro boxer has been in a relationship with his girlfriend, Alindra Person. The couple share six children, and she has often been seen ringside, cheering him on in the biggest fights of his career. Although Crawford recently suggested on social media that he is single, their history makes her a central figure in their story.
As the world celebrates Crawford’s career’s biggest win, here’s everything to know about Alindra Person, the woman long considered his girlfriend, and her life with the boxing champion.
Who is Terence Crawford’s girlfriend?
Crawford’s girlfriend, Alindra Person, has been in a relationship with the boxer for over 20 years, though the two have kept much of their relationship private. She was born on January 3, 1991, in Chicago and later moved with her family to Omaha, Nebraska, in 2003, the same city where Crawford grew up.
Person and Crawford first met as teenagers in Omaha in the early 2000s, and the two have been linked ever since. While in the initial days, she wasn’t overly impressed with his boxing ambitions. Speaking to ESPN in 2019, Person herself admitted:
“When we met, I thought he had a job.”
Fast forward two decades, and Crawford is considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, and Person has been there through it all, becoming a constant presence at Crawford’s fights, keeping a close eye on him from the ringside with their children.
They are parents to six children
In the years that Terence Crawford and Alindra Person have stayed together, they have built a bustling family with their six children. They are parents to three sons, Terence Jr, T. Bud, and Tyrese, and two daughters, Talaya and Trinity Michelle. Crawford also has a stepdaughter, Tamiya, Person’s daughter from a prior relationship.
In 2024, during an interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Crawford revealed that he has a seventh child from his past relationship with another woman. The boxer’s bio on X begins with ‘Father First!!!’, which clearly indicates how devoted a dad he is.
In several interviews, the pro boxer has mentioned how fatherhood has made his life complete. During a May 2024 interview with All the Smoke Fight, Crawford talked about his advice to his kids. He said:
“Be they self… Be a leader, not a follower. You know, I think that’s the best advice that I can give my kids because in today’s society, everybody is copying everybody. Everybody want(s) to be, you know, these social media kids, and they gravitate to their friends and want to do the things that their friends do. And I just want my kids to be like I was when I was young.”
The doting father makes sure to never miss birthdays, games, or school events. He is known to fly home from training camps just to be present for his kids on all special occasions. Both Crawford’s and Person’s social media handles are filled with occasional family photos.
Crawford had a near-fatal incident during Person’s first pregnancy
Whenever he describes his life-changing moments, Crawford describes two key turning points in his life. One was when he was shot in the head and had a death scare, and the other special moment was when Alindra became pregnant with their first child.
In a previous interview with HBO, the boxer cited the two incidents, describing how they changed his life. Admitting how fatherhood has been the ‘greatest thing that could have happened’ to him, the boxer recalled the shooting accident when he was in a car. He shared:
“It happened so fast, you know. I got hit with the first shot in the back of my head. Well, the doctor said that the window had slowed it down… it just hit me and bounced out. That was just a wake-up call… Then, when my girl got pregnant, that was a whole other turning point. To me, being a father is the greatest thing that could have happened to me.”
Are Crawford and Person married?
Over the years, Alindra has often been described as the boxer’s wife, but the pair have never been married. In fact, in June 2025, Crawford mentioned on Instagram that he is ‘single’ and has ‘never been married’, leaving fans speculating about the current status of their relationship. The post that raised eyebrows was:
“Look, I am single, so please stop saying I’m married because I (have) never been married or (ask) where my wife at.”
While these are just speculations, none have addressed anything about the same. She has also been a long fixture at his fights, sitting ringside with their children, sharing supportive posts on social media, and travelling across the world with Crawford. Away from the boxing spotlight, she’s a devoted mother and enjoys travelling, often documenting trips to places like Bali, Thailand, and Dubai.
For all the attention on his record-breaking career, Terence Crawford has made it clear that family keeps him grounded. Alindra Person and their children remain a defining part of Crawford’s legacy, both in and out of the ring.
