Nadine Mirada gets engaged to MMA Fighter Dominic Schober
The proposal took place in the ring
Austrian model Nadine Mirada is engaged to professional MMA fighter Dominic «The Dom» Schober. The athlete proposed to his partner in the ring after his fight at OKTAGON 94 in Frankfurt. The event took place on September 26, 2026, at Deutsche Bank Park.
Schober faced German combat-sports content creator Edmon Avagyan in a Stand & Bang bout. After the fight, however, Schober decided to make the evening special for more than just himself.
He walked over to Mirada in the ring and proposed. The model said yes, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their relationship.
From Bodyguard to Fiancé
The love story between Nadine Mirada and Dominic Schober began long before their first public appearance as a couple. Schober previously worked as the model’s bodyguard. Their professional relationship eventually developed into a romantic one, although they kept their private life largely out of the spotlight for some time.
In April this year, Mirada attended the premiere of the second season of the series «Crooks» in Vienna together with Schober. Their appearance attracted media attention, although the couple had not yet made any public statements about their relationship.
In September, the model and athlete attended the anniversary party of PlusCity in Linz together, where they openly posed for photographs as a couple. At the time, Mirada said she was happy in her relationship while emphasizing that she did not want her private life to become a central part of her public image.
The couple is also planning joint television projects. According to Mirada, they support each other in their professional endeavors while maintaining their individual independence.
What Is Known About Nadine Mirada’s Personal Life
Before her relationship with Dominic Schober, much of the attention surrounding Mirada’s personal life focused on rumors of a possible romance between the model and German rapper Apache 207.
In June 2025, the two were spotted together in Vienna — first near the Park Hyatt and later having dinner at Fabios restaurant. The sightings prompted media speculation about a possible relationship. Neither Mirada nor Apache 207 confirmed the rumors. When asked about her private life, the model said she preferred to keep it as private as possible.
Apache 207’s name was again mentioned alongside Mirada in 2026, but no new confirmation of a relationship emerged. Instead, the model has since appeared publicly with Dominic Schober.
