Rare pictures of Ariel Helwani’s family (wife, kids and parents
Ariel Helwani is perhaps best known as the biggest MMA pundit ever. Love him or hate him, this interviewer has had some classic moments down the years. From the breakdown of Jason Miller on his show, to Nate Diaz threatening to slap him, it’s fair to say that Ariel Helwani has gone through his fair share of incidents over the years, which is one of the reasons why he’s so successful.
It turns out that Helwani also has a colorful personal life too. Born to Jewish parents from Lebanon and Egypt, Helwani grew up in Montreal, Canada where he met the love of his life Jaclyn Stein who he knew from his childhood. They are now happily married with three children, where she works as a fashion designer. Interestingly, his father also had a successful textiles business, so it seems bizarre that with this all going on, that Helwani wound up in the world of MMA. Here are some rare pictures of Ariel Helwani and his family.
