Dan Hooker Accused of Infidelity; Alleged Mistress Claims Cheating With Men

AUCKLAND (Azat TV) – UFC lightweight fighter Dan Hooker is facing a wave of new, unverified infidelity allegations that have rapidly spread across social media platforms this week. The controversy centers on claims made by a woman, identified as KeekGrace on Instagram, who describes herself as Hooker’s former mistress and alleges not only a long-standing extramarital affair but also that Hooker cheated on her with other men.

The allegations, which surfaced on Wednesday, February 19, 2026, primarily through Instagram Stories and various MMA fan pages, have ignited widespread discussion within the mixed martial arts community. Hooker, known for his publicly cultivated image as a grounded, family-first fighter, has yet to issue an official statement addressing the claims.

Dan Hooker: The Core Allegations Unfold on Social Media

The central figure in the unfolding controversy, KeekGrace, has shared a series of posts on her Instagram account, detailing her alleged relationship with Dan Hooker. She claims their interaction began in 2023 at a strip club when she was 22 and Hooker was 34. According to her account, Hooker took her out of that environment, providing financial support and lavish gifts, and even covering rent for homes in two different countries.

A particularly striking aspect of the allegations is KeekGrace’s assertion that Hooker’s wife, Isabella, was aware of their relationship. In a video circulating online, she is quoted as saying, «He was married. Oh, is married. And me and her get along fine.» This claim suggests a more complex dynamic than a hidden affair.

However, the most recent and provocative allegation from KeekGrace is that she ended her relationship with Hooker because he allegedly cheated on *her* with men. She posted screenshots, which she claimed were proof of Hooker’s intimate conversations with men, stating, «Ummm, this the guy yall look upto? I got cheated on with a man, that’s why I broke up with him.» She also alleged that Hooker paid her to keep these details hidden.

Unverified Claims and the Impact on Dan Hooker’s Reputation

As of now, the claims against Dan Hooker remain unverified by independent reporting. No major sports outlet has published a detailed report citing direct interviews with KeekGrace, Hooker, his wife, or any legal representatives. Furthermore, no concrete evidence such as authenticated messages, payment records, or witness testimony has been publicly disclosed. The narrative is largely driven by social media posts and the interpretations of fan accounts.

Hooker’s public persona has consistently highlighted his family life, with numerous posts on his social media showing him with his wife and children at events. This carefully constructed image now stands in stark contrast to the circulating allegations, creating a significant personal-conduct controversy within the MMA world. The lack of official comment from Hooker or his team means the story continues to be shaped by online discourse rather than substantiated facts, as reported by LowKickMMA and BVMSports.

Professional Setbacks Precede Personal Controversy

The surfacing of these personal allegations comes at a challenging time for Dan Hooker professionally. The New Zealand fighter is currently on a two-fight losing streak, having most recently lost to Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 325 in Australia just a few weeks prior. His last outing before that was a loss to Arman Tsarukyan in November 2025 in Qatar, according to EssentiallySports. These professional setbacks, combined with the current personal controversy, mark a difficult period for the UFC lightweight.

The rapid spread of these unverified claims underscores the precarious nature of celebrity reputations in the digital age, where social media can quickly amplify personal allegations into widespread public debate without the immediate substantiation of traditional journalism.
