The current WWE Champion Roman and his wife, Galina met when they were studying at the Georgia Institute of Technology. At the time Becker was performing track and field and Roman was a footballer.

The wrestler from the Anoa’i race, Reigns once said when he and Becker first met they were just having fun. He then added how they were kind of like glued to each other and just not having a care in the world or [worrying] about anyone but them, but that since has changed.

Reigns and Galina got engaged in Feb 2012. The couple, however, didn’t announce their engagement until early 2014.

The same year, the pair married each other on a private island, Castaway Cay, in the Bahamas on December 6, 2014. It was a Disney-owned Island. Their wedding song was A Whole New World from the 1992 animated movie, Aladdin.
