Deontay Wilder is set to face Tyrrell Anthony Herndon in a few hours at Charles Koch Arena in Wichita. This marks his third bout since back-to-back losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Returning to the ring after a full year, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ appears confident in his chances against the younger, less experienced Herndon. Now, with the fight drawing major attention, Wilder’s personal life, especially his relationship with Telli Swift, is once again back in the limelight.
The former WBC heavyweight champion is a father of eight, with three children from his previous marriage to Jessica Scales-Wilder and one before that with his then-girlfriend Helen Duncan. While married to Jessica Scales, Deontay Wilder met Telli Swift, whose real name is Shuntel, by happenstance in 2015, and fell in love with her. After his divorce to Jessica Scales in 2017, Wilder and Telli Swift got engaged on February 15, 2018. The couple welcomed their daughter, Kaorii Lee Wilder, on March 7, 2018. Unfortunately, the two are no longer together. The two parted ways after Wilder’s upset loss to Zhilei Zhang in June 2024. While Wilder has made a name for himself in boxing, Telli has carved out her own success as well. Let’s take a closer look at her net worth and everything else you should know.
Telli Swift’s enormous net worth in 2025
Born on January 24, 1987, in Zambales, Philippines, former model Telli Swift rose to prominence in the U.S. through her appearance on the reality TV show WAGS Atlanta, which aired on E! While her relationship with Deontay Wilder brought her further into the spotlight, he wasn’t her first partner, and their daughter wasn’t her first child either. Telli has a son named Kerron from a previous marriage, born on April 20, 2006. After her engagement with Deontay Wilder, she launched the Boxing WAG Association, a charitable organization that raises funds for treatments, service providers, and nonprofits to support families and children.
In addition to her reality TV fame and connection to Wilder, Telli has pursued a modeling career and built a strong social media presence with 2.2 million Instagram followers. While her exact net worth remains unconfirmed, reports from ‘Eve University Wiki’ estimate it to be around $2.5 million as of 2024, a figure expected to grow as her business ventures continue to expand.
