Galina Becker: Roman Reigns’ Wife & Mother of 5

9 Min Read

Galina Becker is the wife of WWE superstar Roman Reigns and the mother of their five children. She built her own athletic career as a track and field standout at Georgia Tech before becoming a fitness model met Reigns.

At the same time, they were both students there in the mid 2000s, and has remained a constant, deliberately private presence through two cancer battles, a record setting championship reign, and the day to day chaos of raising five kids around one of the most demanding schedules in entertainment.

Galina Becker Biography

She was born March 11, 1987, in Jacksonville, Florida, to Kelvin and Mildred Becker. Galina Becker has two older sisters, Molisa and Undine Becker, making her the youngest of the three.

She attended the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she competed for the school’s track and field team in the triple jump, hurdles and 100 meter dash, earning recognition and setting records during her time there, and graduated with a degree in business management.

Roman Reigns Wife

Galina Becker met Roman Reigns, born Leati Joseph Anoa’i. At the same time, both were students at Georgia Tech in the mid 2000s, with their relationship beginning around 2005 as he pursued his own football career and she competed in track and field.

Reigns has described their early relationship in warm, simple terms, telling WWE Unfiltered in 2016 that when they first met, they were having fun, glued to each other, without a care in the world or worry about anyone but themselves.

Marriage

Becker and Reigns welcomed their first child, a daughter named Joelle, in December 2007, several years before they actually married.

The two wed in December 2014 in a traditional Samoan ceremony held on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, taking a Disney cruise for the occasion along with their oldest daughter.

Reigns has spoken fondly about the wedding since, joking in one interview that because they took a Disney cruise for the trip, the Song played for their first dance was fittingly A Whole New World, from Disney’s Aladdin.

He has also described the simple philosophy behind their marriage’s success, saying it comes down to hard work, and that he married his best friend.

Children

Becker and Reigns have five children together. Their eldest, daughter Joelle Anoa’i, known as JoJo, was born in December 2007 and has a close, visible bond with her father, even appearing alongside him in a 2014 public service announcement for the Ad Council’s Take Time to Be a Dad campaign.

In 2016, the couple welcomed their first set of twin boys. In 2020, they welcomed a second set of twins. That second birth directly intersected with Reigns’ wrestling career: he was scheduled to face Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 that April.

Still, he withdrew from the event due to concerns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic and the arrival of his newborn twins, with Braun Strowman stepping in as his replacement.

Reigns has spoken about the logistics of raising five children while working one of WWE’s most demanding schedules, comparing it to running a business, saying it’s loud and hectic, and that with that many kids you need a real schedule, delegating tasks and making sure every child gets as much attention as possible. The family currently resides in Tampa, Florida.

Supporting Reigns Through Cancer

Becker’s role as a constant, stabilizing presence has mattered most during Reigns’ two battles with leukemia.

He first fought and beat Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2008, shortly after his football career and around the time he and Becker were building their life together following Joelle’s birth.

Ten years later, in October 2018, Reigns announced live on WWE Raw that the leukemia had returned, forcing him to relinquish the WWE Universal Championship and step away from wrestling entirely for treatment.

He returned to Raw in February 2019 to announce he was in remission, a moment widely regarded as one of the most emotional in WWE history.

Reigns has continued marking National Cancer Survivors Day publicly since, using the platform to encourage support for cancer research funding.

Through both battles, Becker remained the one constant off-camera presence in his life, largely out of the public eye but, by every account, central to his recovery both times.

Career

Galina Becker built her career at Georgia Tech before her relationship with Reigns became public knowledge, winning regional titles in the triple jump in high school and earning team MVP honors in her first three years there before continuing her track career at Georgia Tech.

After graduating, she moved into fitness modeling, working with various fitness brands, a career she continued until prioritizing raising the couple’s growing family.

She has largely stepped back from public-facing work since, focusing on her role as a mother while maintaining a low public profile that stands in contrast to her husband’s global fame.

Her husband, Roman Reigns, played college football at Georgia Tech from 2003 to 2006, earning First-team All-ACC honors in his final season, before going undrafted in 2007 and briefly appearing on NFL practice squads and in the Canadian Football League.

He debuted for WWE on August 19, 2010, trained by Steve Keirn. His early years as a scripted, corporate-friendly babyface were met with loud, sustained fan rejection, including boos during his WrestleMania 31 loss to Brock Lesnar.

His career transformed entirely in 2020, when, coming back from a COVID-era layoff, he reinvented himself as The Tribal Chief, aligning with manager Paul Heyman and building The Bloodline, a faction rooted in his real Samoan wrestling lineage that combined championship dominance with genuine family drama, including his cousin Jey Uso submitting to him in a brutal I Quit match at Hell in a Cell in 2020 and later storylines involving Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.

That reinvention produced a 1,316 day WWE Universal Championship reign, running from August 30, 2020, to April 7, 2024, the fourth longest title reign in WWE history and the longest of the modern era, during which he also beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 to become a double champion, a title later reorganized into the Undisputed WWE Championship.

He has held seven world championships total, headlined eleven WrestleMania events, and won two Royal Rumble matches across his career, cementing him as the performer WWE built its post-John Cena era around.

Galina Becker Net Worth

Galina Becker’s net worth is estimated at $3 million, built from her modeling career and other business ventures, though no official figure has ever been confirmed.

Roman Reigns’ net worth is estimated at $15 million, built from his WWE contract, his years as one of the company’s top merchandise sellers, and outside acting and endorsement work.
