Kadeena Cox Partner
Kadeena Cox’s only known partner is her former boyfriend, Tes McFly, a 35-year-old professional photographer. Kadeena started chatting with Tes’ cousin on Facebook but ended up with Tes.
They were teenagers when they started dating and had a break-up. However, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014, and Tes went back to her. Kadeena believed in him because she thought he came back for his love rather than her fame.
According to an Instagram post, Kadeena got a nomination for the Sports Personality Of The Year in 2016, and people spotted them together at the event.
Kadeena revealed her relationship with Tes on Eating With My Ex in January 2020. Eating With My Ex is a BBC Three show where former couples meet for dinner and discuss where their relationship went wrong.
Kadeena’s Allegations On Tes
On Eating With My Ex, Kadeena revealed that Tes cheated on her during their revived relationship, though she thought he still loved her after he came back to her. She left him when he started living with another woman. Moreover, Kadeena accused Tes of being with several women, and she has lost their count.
On the other hand, Tes justified his deeds, saying he went to other women because Kadeena prioritized sports before her love life. Thus, he treated her badly, and Kadeena got furious over his indigestible justification. According to Kadeena, Tes was at fault but tried to take a toll on her. Currently, she is single and dedicated to her career.
Tes McFly
Born on 05 June 1987, Tes McFly is a professional photographer who worked for the Black Lives Matter protests. He came into the limelight after appearing in an episode of I’m A Celebrity.
Tes is four years older than Kadeena and was spotted at an event with his son, who must be over nine years old. He supports the Black Lives Matter protests and fights for Black rights, besides serving them as a photographer.
Tes is a British who hails from Leeds, London. His hands are covered with tattoos, and he is a football coach turned teacher who took his children to BBC, which could boost his photography career. Accordingly, the network appointed him to capture moments at the MOBO Awards.
Tes has a YouTube account with only fifty-three subscribers and videos posted a year ago. He is a former member of a fitness center named DBA (Dream Believe Achieve). He also shot for a clothing brand and a fitness studio in Leeds.
Kadeena’s Health Issues
Kadeena began as an athlete when she was fifteen. However, on 20 May 2014, she was diagnosed with a stroke after experiencing odd symptoms. She was fine after going through physiotherapy for two months.
Kadeena again had a burning sensation in her right arm and numbness in her right leg and arm. Thinking it was a stroke, she again went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Further, Kadeena continued her sprinting and cycling career by participating in the Paralympics. She mentioned that she considered Multiple Sclerosis, the bully that gets knocked down by her every day.
MS is tricky because people cannot see its invisible symptoms, such as fatigue and sensory and cognitive issues. However, Kadeena asks people not to panic and reach out to the doctors and other people fighting the same condition. There is a solution because this is the era of advanced research and technology.
Kadeena founded the KC Academy in 2021 to support athletes from diverse backgrounds in top-level Olympics and Paralympics cycling, inspired by her success in cycling.
