Larry Wheels has confirmed his breakup with Bosnian model Šejla Đakovac, but the internet is more shocked by what he says she gets to keep after the split.

During a casual conversation filmed at a UFC event, Wheels revealed that the couple had quietly separated after “growing apart.” While he avoided discussing specific details behind the breakup, he made it clear there is no bad blood between them.

“We separated. It just grew apart,” Wheels said.

What immediately caught fans’ attention, however, was his decision to continue financially supporting Đakovac despite the breakup. According to Wheels, he plans to let her keep several luxury items and ensure she remains comfortable moving forward.

“I’ll make sure she’s good,” he explained during the conversation.

The comments quickly sparked reactions online, especially after references were made to expensive gifts and luxury vehicles reportedly tied to the relationship, including a Bentley believed to be worth around $300,000.

The discussion became even more awkward when UFC cutman Tate joked about whether the relationship could still be repaired. Wheels shut that idea down almost instantly, calling the situation “beyond repair” and making it clear he has no plans to reconcile.

Social media reactions were divided soon after clips of the exchange spread online. Some praised Wheels for handling the breakup maturely and continuing to support his former partner, while others questioned why he would maintain such an expensive lifestyle after ending the relationship.

The breakup marks the end of one of social media fitness culture’s most talked-about relationships, with fans now speculating about what may have caused the split behind the scenes.
