In an interview with Advice Unfiltered recorded prior to his Power Slap defeat, former WWE star Jake Hager opened up about his personal life and described his divorce from Catalina White as the most devastating loss he has ever experienced. Known for his fierce competitive drive and refusal to accept defeat, Hager was forced to sell their million-dollar home and completely reshape his family life after the split. For months afterward, he grappled with self-blame, haunted by fears of how the separation would affect their children. Ultimately, he promised his ex-wife that despite being a flawed husband, he would become an exemplary co-parent.
“That was the biggest loss that I ever took in my life. Like I told you, I don’t lose. To split the family up, have a million-dollar home, have to sell it for the divorce, and now the whole life changed, it was a big deal to me.” “For the longest time, I couldn’t stop blaming myself … I definitely don’t want to fck them up with the divorce. That was my biggest fear. “I told their mom, ‘I was a shtty husband, but I’m going to be a good ex-husband,’ type deal.” – Jake Hager
Today, Hager successfully balances entrepreneurship and combat sports. He launched Haulin’ Oates Trucking in 2025, overseeing routes across Florida, expanding his fleet to ensure reliable warehouse-to-warehouse deliveries, and building a strong team. In March 2026, he signed a six-fight deal with Power Slap. He delivered a dominant third-round TKO in his debut before suffering a shocking knockout defeat at Power Slap 21, leaving his career in the sport uncertain.
