How Has Becker and Reigns’ Marriage Been Like?
Roman Reigns and Galina Becker have supported each other’s careers while living as husband and wife.
Reigns has been diagnosed twice with leukemia since the couple got married and Becker has stood by his side in both instances. He was first diagnosed with the disease in 2008.
In an interview with PEOPLE, the wrestler thanked his wife and mother for being his pillar of strength during his most vulnerable moment. He said, “I didn’t really have anybody. I didn’t think it was anybody’s fault, I just had my wife — who was pregnant at the time. My mom, just the kind of mother she is, she was my rock, she was my support system doing all the worrying and all the praying and it felt like I was a little bit on an island.”
Reigns went into remission shortly after the diagnosis and began fighting the disease. He would later be diagnosed with the disease again in 2018.

In a 2022 appearance on Today, the wrestler revealed that the pair was rather creative with their date nights, bearing in mind their many children. He mentioned they occasionally do manicures and pedicures to accommodate every member of their large family.
In yet another separate interview with WWE Unfiltered, Roman Reigns described marriage as being a “give and take” affair. This further portrays him as a warm and understanding husband despite his beastly nature in the ring.
