The couple, who also share a daughter, nine-year-old Parker Noelle Poirier, first announced the pregnancy in an Instagram post, in the lead-up to 'The Diamond's' UFC 318 retirement fight against Max Holloway:

"Fight news wasn’t the only secret we were keeping from you… WE’RE HAVING A BABY! Sweet P will be a BIG SISTER FINALLY."

Dustin Poirier explains how being married to Jolie Poirier and having his daughter made him the fighter he is

Dustin Poirier didn't have the typical wild twenties. He married his childhood sweetheart when he was just 20, a milestone that brought focus and discipline to his fighting career early on.

Once the couple had their daughter, 'The Diamond' had all the more reason to make it big. Speaking to MMA Junkie about how marriage and parenthood shaped him as a fighter, Poirier said:

"Being a husband and a father has shaped my career for the better. Being married at such a young age, I didn't have a reason to be partying every night like my other buddies who were chasing dreams fighting. I had to anchor at home, I had to be back home... I had discipline at an early age because I had someone counting on me at home... Then having a daughter put fighting in perspective to me at times where this felt overwhelming. I just realized once I became a father, this is just something I do. Being a father, this was my whole life."
