Does Dave Batista Have Children?

It’s hard to imagine men who throw other men around a ring in their underwear also having normal personal lives with relationships and families. But yes, Dave Batista not only has children, but also, believe it or not, grandchildren.

In the early 1990s, professional WWE wrestler Dave Batista married his first wife Glenda, and the pair had two daughters, Keilani and Athena, before they divorced. Batista then married his second wife Angie, but they had no children together.

Batista’s older daughter Keilani was born in 1990 and, as of 2010, has two children of her own, Jacob and Aiden. Both of Dave Batista’s grandsons were born by the time he turned 40.

Batista’s younger daughter Athena (born in 1992) does not yet have any kids of her own as of 2010.

Dave Batista’s Family

Now you know that Dave Batista has two children and two grandchildren. Perhaps you’d like to know more about who his parents and grandparents were.

Dave Batista, who was born David Michael Bautista Jr., is the son of David Michael Bautista and Donna Raye Bautista. His father’s family is Filipino, and his mother’s family is Greek. As a tribute to his dual heritage, Batista has a tattoo on his arm of the Filipino and Greek flags merged into one.

Dave Batista on Family Feud

Although they are not his biological family, Batista appeared on a 2007 episode of the TV game show, Family Feud, along with four other WWE Superstars – Ken Anderson, Jonathan Coachman, Ric Flair and Booker Huffman. The Superstars competed against a team of WWE Divas consisting of Layla El, Maria Kanellis, Michelle McCool, Candice Michelle and Sharmell Sullivan.

Incidentally, the Divas won, earning $20,000 in a particularly impressive round of "Fast Money" as the Superstars watched from the wings in utter defeat.
