Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s parents are Richard Ohashi and his wife Diana Ohashi. The artistic gymnast’s father and mother have been married for over three decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Richard was engaged in a mundane job as an electrical services representative, his wife Diana was a gymnast during her days in high school, little wonder their daughter is excelling at the sports. Apart from Katelyn, the two are also parents to three other children \u2013 all boys. Although Katelyn is their last child, she appears to be the most popular among her siblings having emerged winner of the 2013 American cup. She is also a four-time junior national team member of the United States of America Gymnastics<\/p>\n

Who are Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s Parents?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Born on the 12th of April 1997 in Seattle, Washington, Katelyn Ohashi is the daughter of Richard Ohashi (father) and Diana Ohashi (mother). Though both Richard and Diana are American by nationality, they both hail from different ethnic backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s Father, <\/strong>Richard Ohashi, <\/strong>Was Born in Plano Texas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Richard Ohashi was born on the 6th of November 1949 which pegs his age at 74. Though the records captured his place of birth as Plano, Texas in the United States of America, his roots can be traced to the Asian country of Japan. His ethnicity is listed as Asian-American.<\/p>\n

Searches for his early life and family background have ended in futility, however, it is common knowledge that Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s father is a Christian.<\/p>\n

What Does Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s Father do for a Living?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While his family background has remained behind the scene, it is a known fact that Richard Ohashi was involved in a nine-to-five job at South Service Center where he was engaged as one of the electrical services representatives. His office was located in Sacramento. It is obvious that the Japanese native must have retired from this job since he is already a septuagenarian.<\/p>\n

While there is a dearth of information on Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s father, it is even worse on the side of her mother whose background details have never surfaced anywhere on the internet space. Consequently, her date of birth, age, and family background are not available.<\/p>\n

The only info about Diana that is in the public arena is her ethnicity which is said to be German; she is responsible for the German bloodline in Katelyn\u2019s ethnicity mix. However, that is not the only character trait the famous gymnast got from her mum. It is thanks to Diana that her daughter has gymnastic qualities.<\/p>\n

Are Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s Parents Still Together?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is not known when Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s parents came together as husband and wife but going by the ages of their children who are all grown up, the duo must have been married for over three decades and counting. They have lived in different parts of the United States as a family. The couple had their kids in Seattle, Washington after which situations on ground necessitated that they relocate to Kansas City, Missouri, and later moved back to put down roots in Texas, precisely in Plano where Richard was born.<\/p>\n

Diana and Richard\u2019s union has been described as a strong marital relationship as the duo who are aging gracefully appear to be enjoying marital bliss. The two are living proof that inter-racial marriages can last very long; the people involved only need to work on their relationship.<\/p>\n

The Couple has Other Children Apart from Katelyn Ohashi<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Katelyn Ohashi is the last child of her parents as she has three big brothers. Though his birth details are not known, the oldest of the Ohashi brood is called, Ryan Ohashi. Ryan is followed by Kyle Ohashi who was born sometime in 1994. Katelyn\u2019s third brother, Kalen joined the family in 1995.<\/p>\n

All the Ohashi boys are older than their gymnast sister as she came into the family in 1997, even the last boy, Kalen gave her a couple of years in age gap.<\/p>\n

What Is Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s Relationship with her Parents Like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The position of an only daughter in a male-dominated household is one that attracts a lot of love and affection from both parents and Katelyn Ohashi is surely enjoying all the pecks and more. The American gymnast\u2019s mother and father practically dote on her and her dad Richard is always talking about his daughter and her stellar achievements at a young age.<\/p>\n

In an interview session, Richard stated how proud he is of Katelyn\u2019s successes. The delighted father also talked about her previous shortcomings which he said didn\u2019t stop the athlete from striving higher. According to Richard, Katelyn had to forgo what would have been her very first Olympics as she was yet to turn 16 then.<\/p>\n

Though she was already of age at the next Olympic which came four years later, an injury she incurred made it impossible for the youngster to compete; another hope dashed. In all these, both Richard and Diana were on hand to console their daughter and couldn\u2019t help but admire how the youngster handled interview sessions under pressure.<\/p>\n

Richard said Katelyn overcame all these by collaborating with a teammate of hers to launch a blog called, \u2018Behind the Madness\u2018, she wrote poems, and strictly followed the advice they gave her to always try and be herself.<\/p>\n

Katelyn Ohashi\u2019s Parents Played a Big Role in Her Rise To Fame<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When Katelyn Ohashi started experimenting with gymnastics at the tender age of three, Richard and Diana didn\u2019t think twice about exposing her to better training that gave her wider chances.<\/p>\n

Her gymnastic skills notwithstanding, both parents never allowed her to slack with education even though she would still have made her fortune by concentrating on gymnastics alone. Thanks to her parents\u2019 support, the up-and-coming star eventually attained university level with a degree in Gender Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
