The Undisputed Profile: Roman Reigns' Biography and Family Core
Leati Joseph Anoa'i, known globally as Roman Reigns, is the current face of the WWE, but his life outside the ring is centered on his family.

The Wild Samoans' Legacy: The Tragic 2024 Passing of Sika Anoa'i
One of the most significant and heartbreaking updates for the Anoa'i family in 2024 was the passing of Roman Reigns' father, WWE Hall of Famer Sika Anoa'i. Sika, one half of the legendary tag team The Wild Samoans alongside his brother Afa Anoa'i, passed away peacefully on June 25, 2024, at the age of 79.
Sika’s death marked the end of an era and was a profound loss for the entire wrestling community. He was a cornerstone of the dynasty, a two-time WWF Tag Team Champion, and an inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. His influence is immeasurable, as he trained and guided not only Roman Reigns but also his late older brother, Matthew "Rosey" Anoa'i, who tragically passed away in 2017.
The passing of Sika Anoa'i has added a deeper, more poignant layer to the "Tribal Chief" character, as Roman Reigns now carries the weight of the family’s legacy without his patriarch’s physical presence. While a cause of death was not publicly disclosed, the family confirmed he passed away peacefully.
Inside The Private Life: Roman Reigns' Wife and Five Children
Away from the arena lights and the demanding schedule of a WWE superstar, Roman Reigns is a dedicated family man. His private life is a closely guarded sanctuary, primarily focused on his wife and their five children.
Galina Becker: The Woman Behind The Tribal Chief
Roman Reigns' wife is Galina Becker, whom he met while both were students at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Galina, born on March 11, 1987, is a former collegiate track and field star and has also worked as a fitness model. The couple dated for several years before marrying in a beautiful ceremony in 2014.
Galina's support is often cited by Roman as the foundation of his career. She maintains a very private life, choosing to stay out of the wrestling spotlight, which helps maintain a sense of normalcy for their growing family.
A Full House: One Daughter and Two Sets of Twins
Roman and Galina are parents to a total of five children. Their first child, a daughter named Joelle Anoa'i, was born in December 2007. Joelle has made a few public appearances with her father, including a memorable anti-bullying campaign.
The family expanded significantly with the arrival of two sets of twin sons. The first set of twin boys was born in 2016, followed by another set of twin boys in 2020. The names of their four sons have been kept private, a conscious decision by the couple to protect their children's privacy from the intense public scrutiny that comes with being the family of a global superstar.
Reigns has spoken openly about the beautiful chaos of raising five children, describing his home life as "loud" and "hectic," but clearly full of love and devotion.
The Bloodline: Mapping the Anoa'i Wrestling Dynasty
The Anoa'i family is the undisputed royal family of professional wrestling, a lineage that spans five generations and includes dozens of champions. Roman Reigns is a fourth-generation star, and his role as "The Tribal Chief" is a direct reflection of his position at the head of this legendary Samoan dynasty.
The Core Bloodline (Direct Cousins)
The narrative of 'The Bloodline' stable in WWE is based on the real-life family ties that bind these elite performers. The central figures are:
- The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Fatu): They are Roman Reigns' first cousins. Their father is WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi (Solofa Fatu Jr.), who is a nephew of Roman's father, Sika Anoa'i.
- Solo Sikoa: The younger brother of The Usos, making him another direct first cousin of Roman Reigns. He has become a dominant force in the post-WrestleMania Bloodline storyline.
- Rikishi (Solofa Fatu Jr.): Roman's first cousin, and the father of Jimmy, Jey, and Solo.
The Extended Samoan Wrestling Royalty (Anoa'i/Maivia Connection)
The family tree extends far wider, encompassing the Maivia family through a famous "blood brother" pact between Roman's grandfather, Elder Reverend Amituana'i Anoa'i, and High Chief Peter Maivia.
- The Rock (Dwayne Johnson): While not a biological cousin, The Rock is considered family due to the traditional blood brother bond between his grandfather, Peter Maivia, and Roman's grandfather. The two have a long history, and their recent on-screen alliance cemented their familial connection for a new generation.
- Afa Anoa'i: Roman's uncle and the other half of The Wild Samoans.
- Nia Jax (Savelina Fanene): A prominent female star in WWE, she is also a member of the extended Anoa'i family.
- Yokozuna (Rodney Anoa'i): A former WWE Champion and cousin, now deceased.
- Umaga (Eddie Fatu): The late brother of Rikishi and uncle to The Usos and Solo Sikoa.
- Zilla Fatu: The son of Umaga, Zilla is a new generation wrestler who has commented on Roman's potential 2024 return, signifying the next wave of the dynasty.
From the foundational work of The Wild Samoans to the modern-day dominance of The Bloodline, Roman Reigns stands as the current "Head of the Table," a title that represents not just a WWE character, but a real-life obligation to honor his ancestors and lead the most powerful wrestling family in the world. The recent loss of his father, Sika, only reinforces the weight of that legacy as he continues his historic run.
