Roman Reigns, a prominent WWE superstar, is the father of five children with his wife, Galina Becker. Their oldest daughter, Joelle Anoa’i, affectionately nicknamed JoJo, was born in December 2007 and is now 17 years old in 2025. Recently, Reigns opened up about JoJo’s new milestone of starting to drive, reflecting on the mix of pride and nervousness this brings as he adjusts his daily routine to accommodate her independence.
While Roman and Galina maintain a private life for their children—especially their four sons, including two sets of twins born in 2016 and 2020—their family moments occasionally surface, such as JoJo’s appearance alongside her father in a 2014 WWE commercial. When rumors about a sixth child emerged during Reigns’ July 2025 hiatus, he dispelled them with a lighthearted video stating “five and done.”
On Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, What’s Your Story, Reigns expressed the bittersweet feelings that come with his daughter driving herself to school while he drives the younger boys. The transition marks an emotional chapter for him as a father, navigating a nostalgic yet protective perspective on JoJo’s early driving experience.
My daughter just started driving, so now I take all the boys to school, and then an hour later, because she doesn’t have first period. She’s a senior now in high school, so… I don’t like it. There’s some good stuff about it. That gives me nostalgic feelings that we went through high school being in a bad age, but I don’t like it.So she’s driving to school, as I’m headed back, and I’m just talking for those white knuckles hands that are just perfectly faced at the steering wheel driving. She doesn’t have any swag yet. She’s still pretty new. She was a late bloomer driving, so we haven’t gone through that.

JoJo’s Educational Path Could Mirror Her Parents’ Legacy
When discussing JoJo’s future education, Roman Reigns revealed the family is considering options both near home and legacy choices tied to their own backgrounds. Although staying in Florida is a possibility, the couple also toured Georgia Tech, the university both Reigns and Galina Becker attended. JoJo enjoyed the visit, and Reigns expressed openness to the idea that she might follow in their footsteps by attending the same institution.
Yeah, possibly a Legacy, possibly stay close. So, I don’t mind if she would stay in Florida, that would be really cool. But if she wanted to follow me, and her mom‘s footsteps, Georgia Tech School, we have really good resources there. We had a little visit there and she enjoyed it. (From 5:04 to 7:05)
