I’m better than other WAGs because I actually work – my man might be worth £24m but he’s daddy day care while I hustle
THE wife of a world champion has declared that she is part of a “new” generation of WAGs.
Porsha Berto, 35, is married to retired world boxing champ Andre Berto, 41, and shares three children with him – but claims he does the lion’s share of parenting in their home.
The luxury estate agent describes her husband as “daddy day care” and is keen to distance herself from “the old definition of WAGs”.
She said: “The old definition of WAGs was like, ‘Oh, I’m a kept b***h’.
“But now, I’m making my money.
“That’s the new WAG.”
WAGs – short for ‘wives and girlfriends’ – are partners of high-profile sportsmen and athletes, with the lifestyle associated with glamour and riches.
And while Porsha says stereotypes stipulate that WAGs tend not to have careers of their own and live off their beau’s money, she doesn’t subscribe to that lifestyle.
Instead, she’s a successful luxury estate agent in The Magic City.
Porsha and Andre share daughter Legaci, five, son Levi Michael, four, and a newborn baby who they welcomed at the start of this year.
The mum-of-three was raised in Tampa, Florida but prefers to live in Miami for “the sun” and “the coins”, she revealed on Netflix’s new show, W.A.G.s To Riches.
She said: “I go where the money resides, and that’s in Miami. We were moving to Miami, and he’s daddy day care.”
Porsha joined Allure Realty in January 2024 and helps find luxury pads in The Sunshine State for her fellow WAGs, including rapper Rick Ross’ ex-girlfriend.
She works despite her husband’s mammoth net worth – and is proud to do so.
Andre has an estimated fortune of just over £24 million thanks to his lucrative boxing career, which saw him win two welterweight world championships.
He held the WBC and IBF titles between 2008 and 2011, and the WBA interim title in 2015.

Porsha Berto
The professional boxer was also ranked as the world’s third best welterweight in 2011.
The pair got together in 2010, and Andre proposed to Porsha in December 2018 at the baby shower for their firstborn.
He got down on one knee and a white drape fell, revealing “Marry Me” written in pink baby blocks.
The pair tied the knot in January 2019.
Andre retired from boxing in August 2018, but came out of retirement over five years later for his bout against Robert Guerrero in 2023.
He lost by unanimous decision and hasn’t fought since.
Biggest WAG Clashes
Secret children
Lauryn Goodman had two love children with Kyle Walker… while he was married to childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner.
The dad-of-six welcomed his two children with Lauryn behind his wife’s back in 2020 and 2023.
The two women have come to blows repeatedly on social media, with Lauryn even referring to Annie as a dog who needs to have a “muzzle” put on her.
‘Doormat’ jibe
Last year, after Man City ace Kyle Walker drunkenly flashed two women in a bar, a feud erupted between Rebekah Vardy and Annie Kilner.
Rebekah hit out at Annie in an Instagram post, where she called her a “doormat” and accused her of “playing the victim.”
Wagatha Christie
After years of allegations and arguments, Jamie Vardy‘s wife tried and failed to sue Coleen for libel over “untrue and unjustified accusations” that she leaked false stories to the press.
The saga all kicked off after Coleen turned detective to see who was spying on her private Instagram stories and selling the intel, before publicly announcing: “It’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
A very Posh snub
Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole were close friends when they were both WAGs.
But when Cheryl suffered a public heartache in 2008 after her husband Ashley Cole was exposed for cheating, she claimed Victoria’s support was nowhere to be seen.
WAG on a mission
They used to be pals, but Nicola McLean and Danielle Lloyd sensationally fell out.
It came after Nicola accused her former friend of only marrying footballer Jamie O’Hara because she wanted to be a WAG.
