She did not only gain popularity by marrying WWE’s finest, Roman Reigns, Galina Becker is also a renowned fitness model. She may not be as famous as her husband but she still has a lot going for her. As expected, much attention is often given to Reigns career with lesser attention to hers, as well as her life. This brings us to the reason you are reading this article.

Galina Becker’s Age & Ethnicity

Galina Joelle Becker who is a former athlete was born on 11 March 1987, in Florida, United States. She is an American but is of Afro-American ethnicity, having come from a black origin. She grew up with her parents Kevin Becker and Mildred Becker, in San Francisco alongside her two elder sisters, Molisa Cooper and Undine Becker.

The Becker ladies had athletics flowing in their blood with Galina and her older sister, Udine plunging into track and field at a very young age. While Galina submerged herself on athletics in her school, Mt. Pleasant High School, her sister was doing the same at her school, the University of Stanford for up to five years.

At school, she was the best at hurdles and jump competitions becoming the Most Valuable Performer in her school team. She didn’t stop there, Galina went ahead to leave more significant marks in the field of athletics, winning not only in freshman but also in the following years. “Unattainable” would be the word to describe her triple jump Central Coast Section record of 40’5″.  

After high school, Galina Becker proceeded to Georgia Institute of Technology to study Management, while she continued to nurture her unique sporting skills. She finished with an outdoor season-best time of 14.92 during a 100 meters high hurdles, which was quite encouraging. She went ahead to record a season-best time of 12.76 in a 100-meter dash; it went on and on. It was quite obvious to her, after college that she was meant to continue with sports, and she did. Instead of management which she studied, Becker became a fitness model which ended up being very lucrative.

After some fights alongside his team, he went into singles fights. The renowned wrestler has won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship up to three times.

Galina and Joseph (Reigns) met for the first time at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where they both majored in Management. At the time, Reigns was a player for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team. Being students of the same institution and studying the same course, they became friends. What started out as a platonic friendship ended being a romantic encounter, and the two athlete lovers found themselves falling for each other.
