Who Is Roman Reigns’ Wife Galina Becker?
Roman Reigns’ wife, Galina Becker was born on the 11th of March 1987 in Jacksonville, Florida. On the other hand, her husband was born in Pensacola, a town in Florida that is a few hours away from Jacksonville. His own birth year is 1985, making the WWE star two years older than his wife.
Becker was raised in a family of 5, comprising of her parents Kevin and Mildred Becker, and two siblings; Molisa Cooper and Undine Becker, both sisters.
Galina and her husband do share a lot in common, including the fact that they both have an athletic background. In her schooling years, Galina was involved in the track and field sport, triumphing in hurdles as well as the triple jump.
She attended Mt. Pleasant High School in San Jose, California, where she was a lettered track athlete for three seasons. In her sophomore and junior years, Becker won regional titles.
While Reigns was an active footballer at Georgia Tech, Galina was a star track and field athlete. She participated in the Georgia Tech Invitational in the 2005/2006 season. She ran 14.92 in the 100-meter high hurdles. Her sports did not affect her academics as Galina Becker graduated with a degree in Management – the same degree her husband graduated with.
She began a career as a fitness trainer after college. Becker is not the only one in her immediate family that is athletic; her older sister Undine Becker ran track at Stanford University from 2001 to 2005.
Despite being married to an uber-popular WWE star, Galina Becker prefers to lead a private and quiet life. She is only seen making public appearances while accompanying her husband to WWE red carpet events. She does not have a public social media account.
How Roman Reigns and Galina Becker Met
The WWE superstar met his wife, a fitness model named Galina Becker during his time in college. The couple attended the Georgia Institute of Technology, where Reigns was an active athlete, not as a wrestler but as a footballer; he played football for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Though private about details of his family, Reigns has on a few occasions spoken about his dating years with Galina, which officially began in 2007. One of those was during his interview with Unfiltered With Renee Young, where he revealed how romance and life were so easy when he first met Becker in college.
The WWE superstar said that they were so into each other and had a lot of fun with no care in the world. He also added that he has learned that romance gets more complicated with time, and it takes a lot of hard work and effort to keep it blossoming. So far, Reigns and his wife seem to be putting in all of the work necessary.
Years into their romance, Reigns popped the question to Galina, precisely on the 26th of February 2012. Two years later, in December 2014, the couple was married.
The couple had a destination wedding in 2014 held in the Bahamas on Disney’s Castaway Cay, a private island owned by The Walt Disney Company. It was a full Disney-themed wedding; their wedding song was “A Whole New World” from one of Disney’s great production, Aladdin.
At the time of their 2014 wedding, Reigns was absent from the WWE due to medical reasons, and the WWE star was battling an incarcerated hernia; he was, however, back in the ring shortly after their honeymoon.
