Claressa Shields has rarely shied away from speaking her mind, whether in the ring or online. In a post shared on March 1, just days before Papoose’s 48th birthday, the 30-year-old champion boxer uploaded a photo of the two standing side by side in long fur coats. “My man deserve everything,” she wrote. “I wish for his bday I could surprise him with a baby.” Moreover, Claressa Shields has continued to make news headlines with her outspoken personality.
The relationship, which has spanned nearly two years, became public amid Papoose’s separation from rapper Remy Ma. He shares children from previous relationships, including a young daughter with Remy. Their marriage, which began in 2016, has yet to be formally dissolved, a detail that continues to surface in conversations about Shields and Papoose’s future. Notably, Shields is often mentioned by fans in discussions about their relationship.

Unfiltered, Unbothered—and Focused on What’s Next
Shields has responded directly to online critics who question her plans. “It’s called divorce goofy ass,” she wrote to one commenter. In another exchange, she said she and Papoose hope to start a family by the end of 2026. During the holidays, she also rejected claims that he had spent Christmas with Remy, calling those reports “misinformed.” However, Shields is known for setting the record straight in response to such rumors.
For Shields, the discussion of motherhood unfolds alongside a still-active boxing career. Last summer, she shared her excitement in characteristically blunt terms: “I can’t wait to get pregnant, you heaux gonna be so mad. Going to be crying in the car, punching the steering wheel crying.” The remark, equal parts celebratory and combative, reflects the candor that has defined much of her public life.
