WWE - 5 things you may not know about Roman Reigns' family
Roman Reigns is a proud member of the famous Anoa'i family. While several family members are former WWE Superstars, others are still active in the Stamford-based company, including The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Ava Raine. Most of these active stars are now members of Reigns' Bloodline stable.
While the Anoa'i family is well known to the WWE Universe, fans may not know much about The Head of the Table's smaller family. Over the past few years, Reigns has revealed a few things about his life with his wife and children.
Here are five things you may not know about Roman Reigns' family.
#5. Roman Reigns' relationship with his wife wasn't initially serious
While studying at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Roman Reigns met his wife, Galina Becker. They then fell in love with each other and started dating.
In an interview with Renee Paquette (fka Renee Young) on the WWE Network, The Tribal Chief revealed that their relationship was not initially serious. However, they later became inseparable.
"When we first met we were just having fun. Then we were kinda like glued to each other, you know what I mean? Like not having a care in the world or worry about anybody but us," he said. (0:17 - 0:26)
Reigns and Becker dated for nearly a decade before tying the knot in December 2014.

Four years later, Reigns and his wife welcomed another set of twins. They now have five children together. In an interview with NBC's Today show, The Head of the Table opened up about life at home with five children.
"It's loud, it's hectic … it's one of those things when you have that many kids you really have to have a schedule and get everything in line. And almost treating it like a business, because there's just so many of them. And you have to try to delegate, and give them all as much attention as possible," he said. (H/T: New York Post)

While on the road, WWE Superstars do not spend much time at home. Some wrestlers even left the company over the past few years to spend more time with their families.
However, Roman Reigns recently became a part-time performer in WWE. In his interview with NBC's Today show, he disclosed that his new schedule strengthened his relationship with his family.
"It's been great. My schedule's shifted around a little bit, so I have a lot more time at home now, and I can feel that relationship strengthening, and those bonds are getting better and better. It's a very blessed situation," he said. (H/T: New York Post)
Aside from an untelevised live event last month, Reigns has not competed since September 3 when he defeated Drew McIntyre in an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match at Clash at the Castle. Next month, he will defend his title against Logan Paul at Crown Jewel.
