While serving a sentence in San Quentin, Trejo became a champion boxer in the prison's lightweight and welterweight divisions.

Danny Trejo has also become a restauranteur, having his own chain of taco restaurants. But when it comes to his love life, little is known about whether he is currently dating anyone, as he chose to keep his personal life private.

However, Amo Mama reported that Trejo had been linked to British artist, photographer, and filmmaker Nadia Lee Cohen in 2021 after they were seen together on her Instagram, with Cohen seen kissing the "Machete" actor by a pool ladder.

The photos were reportedly taken in 2017, with Cohen admitting that the kiss was the most memorable moment of her career. However, no one from the two had confirmed that they had dated or were still dating.
