Sydney Thomas, known for her role as the ring girl in the Netflix fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, recently opened up about her path to self-discovery in an interview with internet celebrity Nick Nayersina.

She said that a “significant turning point” in her life was her decision to end a long-term relationship.

“I literally broke up with my boyfriend,” Sydney said, “there were no issues between us; he was a great guy.”

When Nick inquired if this was before her rise to fame, Sydney said: “Yes, this was right before summer. I ended the relationship because I felt the need to spend more time alone and discover who I truly am. I wanted to focus on myself.”

She described it as a “difficult yet transformative experience.” Despite the challenges of ending her long-term relationship, she expressed confidence that it was all part of a greater plan.

“As difficult as it was to part ways, I believe it was all meant to happen,” Sydney said, “it’s all part of God’s plan. In the end, things work out. Just look at where we are now.”
