Of the many characters that inhabit the Borderlands universe, few are as memorable as Mad Moxxi. Making her debut in the original Borderlands DLC "Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot," Moxxi's sultry voice and hourglass figure are matched by her penchant for sexual innuendos. The gaming landscape was very different in 2009, but thankfully writers behind the character were able to keep Moxxi relevant over the years while retaining what makes her unique.

Yet despite her good looks, there is more to Mad Moxxi than meets the eye. Her love for hooking up with men and women alike has led to Moxxi becoming a lover, wife, and even a mother. While not all of these relationships turned out well, they have given Mad Moxxi a reputation as one of the most familiar faces on Pandora.

The Children of Moxxi

Probably the longest-standing relationships Moxxi has are with her son Scooter and daughter Ellie. Moxxi used to be a member of the Hodunk clan, but left in order to stop Ellie from becoming the clan wife. She then presumably raised Scooter and Ellie on her own using the money she earned by hosting fights in the Underdome, as well as bartending for different establishments. Apart from providing them with the bare essentials, Moxxi also taught her children about machinery, which is evident in Scooter's and Ellie's mechanical skills.

While she is rarely seen with her children in the Borderlands games, Moxxi's motherly nature can be seen when she interacts with players. She guides them through her quests and is careful not to throw them into too much harm. Moxxi may not be looking over the shoulders of her biological children all the time since they are older, but her maternal tendencies show up whenever she sees someone who needs help.

Moxxi The Wife

Though Moxxi may not look like the type to settle down, she has had her share of husbands. At present, Moxxi's two confirmed ex-husbands are her second, Mr. Shank, and her third, Marcus. Mr. Shank was the warden of the Lockdown Palace before being defeated by Roland, Lilith, Brick, and Mordecai in the first Borderlands. Marcus, on the other hand, is a Pandoran weapons dealer responsible for arming most of the planet's denizens.

Not much is known about Moxxi's life as a wife, but it has been confirmed that she cares for her husbands. She has mentioned that she never once cheated on anyone, and she becomes visibly sad after hearing about the death of Shank. On a planet as violent and crazy as Pandora, it's nice to see someone like Moxxi still holds love in high regard.

Moxxi's History of Short-Term Relationships

Despite her love for her children and husbands, Mad Moxxi's claim to fame is the number of relationships she has been in. It is unknown how many exes Moxxi has, but Mordecai, Lucky Zaford, Motor Momma, Timothy Lawrence (Handsome Jack's doppelganger), and Handsome Jack himself are just a few of the people Moxxi has been with. Lawrence is Moxxi's current squeeze as of Borderlands 3.

Most of these relationships were ended by Moxxi for different reasons. She broke up with Mordecai because he was inattentive to her needs, for example, and broke up with Motor Momma on account of her cannibalism. Mad Moxxi's relationships differ from person to person, showing her different sides Her motherly, caring side shows whenever she is with children and people in need, marriages show how devoted she can be to a single person, and Moxxi's failed relationships and flings show what she values most in herself and other people.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
