Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the best boxers in the history of the sport and retired undefeated after 50 fights. He is the proud father of five children. He has three sons and two daughters from his relationships with two women.

Being the father of a blended family hasn't been easy, and Floyd admits he hasn't always been the best of parents, but he is devoted to his children and his grandson, born in 2021.

One of the most respected boxers in the world, Floyd Mayweather Jr., was born on February 24, 1977, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Floyd won fifteen championships across five weight divisions and remains undefeated with a record of 50-0 bouts.

Floyd was raised to be a champion by his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., and his ambition was to be criticized by his son later in his life. Their relationship was strained, but they made up, and Floyd Sr. became a feature on his son's corner at many of his fights.

The Olympic Bronze medalist retired from pro boxing in 2017 and has since become a promoter. He also owns The Money Team Racing team, which competes in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Floyd had shown himself to be a loving and supportive father and grandfather, especially when one of his daughters was involved in serious legal issues that might have landed her in jail for several years.

Floyd Mayweather Has Five Children from Two Women

Even though he has had a series of romantic relations throughout his life, Floyd has never been married or even engaged to anyone, not even the mothers of his children. He stated:

“Boxing was my girlfriend, boxing was my life, boxing was my wife.”

Floyd's longest-lasting relationship was with actress Josie Harris, with whom he shared three children: sons Koraun and Zion and daughter Jirah. The relationship lasted from 1995 to 2010 and was marred by incidents and accusations of domestic abuse, just like fellow boxing champ Sugar Ray Leonard.

During his relationship with Harris, Floyd was also involved with another woman, beauty entrepreneur Melissa Brim. Brim and Floyd had an on-again/off-again relationship and welcomed a daughter, Iyanna. Floyd also adopted Brim's son from a previous relationship, Devion Cromwell, who was four at the time of his sister's birth.

None of Floyd Mayweather's Sons Decided to Follow in Their Father's Footsteps

Floyd's oldest son is Koraun Mayweather, born on September 2, 1999; he is a singer and started his career straight after high school at 18. He dropped his debut album in 2020, and the central theme of his music seems to be money and the good life. Koraun owns a Ferrari, a Mercedes Benz, and a Bentley, thanks to his dad.

Sadly, Jirah, Zion, and Koraun's mother, Josie Harris, passed away in March 2020 at the age of 40.

Floyd's son Zion Shamaree Mayweather was born on March 28, 2001, and he has devoted himself to creating a clothing label, Philthy Rich Boys, which features a lot of Floyd Mayweather Jr. merchandise, and seems to be doing exceptionally well. Zion also promotes events and is fond of expensive sports cars.

Devion Cromwell, born in 1996, is Floyd's adopted son. Like his brothers, he has a passion for cars and exhibits a lavish lifestyle. He drives a Ferrari around Las Vegas and apparently bought himself a Mercedes 6x6 Brabus G700, which retails for a cool $1 million.

If none of Floyd's sons followed him into the ring, it looks as if his little grandson -- daughter Iyanna's son Kentrell Gaulden Jr. -- may well be the third generation of Mayweathers to become a contender.

Floyd Mayweather's Daughter Iyanna Is an Aspiring Rapper Who Recently Faced Some Major Legal Troubles

Like her half-brother Koraun Mayweather, Iyanna "Yaya" Mayweather, born on May 20, 2000, has musical aspirations. She is a rapper and released her first music video in 2018 under the artistic name of Money Yaya.

Money is the word because Floyd allegedly spent seven figures on Iyanna's Sweet Sixteen birthday party in Las Vegas for 200 guests, with Drake and Future performing the music and a special message from Justin Bieber.

"Yaya" had been in a relationship with rapper Kentrell DeSean Gaulden/NBA Youngboy, the father of her son Kentrell Gaulden Jr. Her relationship with Youngboy has been volatile, and he wrote an unflattering song about her, "Dirty Iyanna."

In April 2020, Iyanna was arrested for a violent incident involving Lapattra Lashai Jacobs, the mother of another of Younboy's children. Jacobs had to be hospitalized after the incident, and Iyanna pleaded guilty to causing "injury with a knife" and was sentenced to six years probation.

Floyd's Youngest Daughter Jirah Has a YouTube Channel

Floyd has lavished love, attention, and gifts on his second daughter too. Jirah Mayweather was born on June 25, 2014, and is his last child with Josie Harris. Like her siblings, Jirah seems to be heavily into cars.

Her car collection would be the envy of many and includes a Bentley Continental GT, Flying Spur, a BMW X7, and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. This is not to mention the $400,000 white Rolls-Royce Wraith her dad gave her when she was 14.

Jirah has her own YouTube channel where she shares daily snippets from her life and has a strong presence on TikTok with over 135,000 followers. Jirah is the youngest of the five siblings and seems to have a comparatively low-key lifestyle.

Sadly, Jirah, Zion, and Koraun's mother, Josie Harris, passed away in March 2020 at 40 from an accidental overdose. Even though the relationship was long over, Floyd was devastated by her loss, stating:

“Everything I ask for in life… I got. And I’ll say this every day: Just for her to come back, I’ll give it all.”

The relationship between Floyd and Harris was strained in the last years of her life, and she admitted that she preferred that he saw the children when they were not in her presence.
