She was given the full name Galina Joelle Becker at birth, and her parents have been identified as Kevin Becker and his lifelong wife, Mildred Becker, though the details of their professional lives are not known.

Far from being the only child born to Mildred and Kevin, Galina shared her growing up years with two siblings – Undine Becker and Molisa Cooper – all girls. She is the youngest in the Becker brood.

Though they were all born in the Sunshine State, Florida, Galina Becker and her big sisters completed their formative years in the San Francisco part of California.

She started her Academic Journey in Florida

While her family was still living in Florida, the Backer sisters attended the local learning institutions in their neighborhood. By the time Galina was about to start high school, they have already relocated to California, and she enrolled at Mt Pleasant High School located in San Jose, California, alongside her two older sisters.

Even when she gained admission into Georgia Institute of Technology to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in management, the Florida native continued excelling in her sporting activities.

However, all these glowing records couldn’t take the athlete anywhere, as she conceived her first child before graduation.

Thus, she took the hard decision to forfeit her dreams of going professional and dropped out of school.

During those early days of her career in sports, the Florida native took inspiration from her big sister, Undine Becker, who was also a sports standout.

After she had her first baby, Galina made a career choice totally different from athletics. The Georgia Institute of Technology alum chose to go into modeling. Today, Becker is listed as a fitness model.

During his days at Georgia Institute of Technology, Galina Becker’s spouse was warming up to embrace a career in the National Football League as a professional footballer but he was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 22; this happened in 2008. At that point in his life, he was already expecting his first child with Galina, and combined with his NFL career that had to die a natural death because of his health, Roman passed through a lot of mental torture.

A couple of years later, in 2010, Roman became a signee of the World Wrestling Entertainment, debuting in a 15-man Battle Royale before the end of the year. Roman obviously found his forte in wrestling as he climbed the chart very fast to emerge as one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of the WWE.

Two years after Galina Becker and Roman Reigns became man and wife, the couple announced that they were expecting a set of twin boys. The boys eventually arrived in 2016, but the parents have declined to mention anything about them in the public space.

Roman Reigns was in an interview session with Muscle & Fitness in April 2020 when the famous wrestler mentioned that they were already expecting their second set of twins. His exact words were, “Three, with two in the oven. I’m looking to be Papa Bear Five”. The couple’s second set of twin boys were eventually born before the end of 2020, but neither Galina nor her spouse deem it necessary to bring the details of their birth to the public arena.

Galina and Roman Are Secretive About Their Kids

Apart from their first daughter Jojo that has recorded a handful of public appearances with her parents, both Galina and Roman obviously prefer to keep their children as far away from prying eyes as possible.

To date, the celebrity couple refused to reveal the names of their four sons. In fact, they didn’t bother to tell fans about the arrival of their last set of twins until they were a few months old.

Though they keep their boys away from public scrutiny, Galina and Roman allow Jojo to make public appearances from time to time. In 2016, the young lady alongside her famous dad starred in an ad for the Administration for Children and Families. It was a 30-second-long clip where father ad daughter was seen performing the children’s rhyme entitled “I’m a Little Teapot,”.

The Secret of Roman Reigns and Galina Becker’s Long-lasting Relationship

While Galina Becker and her spouse love to keep the details of their personal lives off the ring, fans still get some tidbits from time to time. The couple’s long-lasting relationship has sparked a lot of curiosity from fans as many wish to know the secret behind their kind of forever-happily after marriage.

According to reports, one major reason the couple’s union has endured for many years is the kind of unflinching support they give to each other. Galina has been one constant figure in the wrestler’s life even when other things failed him. She was a pillar of support when he had to let go of his dream of becoming an NFL star, Galina stood by Roman when he was diagnosed with leukemia and saw him through all the necessary treatments.

Considering Galina’s loyalty and unflinching support for Roman, it comes as no surprise that the tough WWE champion often gushes about her.

On his own part, Roman Reigns reciprocates his wife’s gestures and support. During the peak of the Corona Virus pandemic in 2020, the wrestling champion had to opt out of his pre-arranged WrestleMania 36 match against Goldberg to safeguard his health and that of his family.

The self-acclaimed “papa bear of five” once said he plans to have more kids and then retire from wrestling to focus on raising his family. Even while he is still active in World Wrestling Entertainment, Galina Becker’s husband puts his family first.

In June 2014, the hands-on dad joined some wrestling superstars to produce a public service ad encouraging fathers from all walks of life to recognize the critical role they need to play in the family and get a bit more involved with their kids.

Roman’s appeared in the advert alongside his daughter Jojo and their advice to dads reads, “The smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child’s life”. It was in this particular commercial that they chanted “I’m a Little Teapot” as the father and daughter duo had a cheery tea party.

It goes without saying that a marriage that receives the kind of love and support that Galina and her spouse share will definitely have a chance to last long.
