Dana White is a prominent figure in combat sports, but outside the UFC spotlight, he is a father of three. He and his wife, Anne White, have two sons, Dana White III and Aidan White, and a daughter, Savannah White. While their father built his career in mixed martial arts, all three children have pursued their own interests, ranging from football and boxing to motorsports and cheerleading, each taking a unique path while maintaining strong family bonds.
Dana White III Follows His Passion for Football
Dana White III, born in June 2001, is the eldest child of Dana and Anne White. He attended Faith Lutheran High School in Las Vegas and later the University of San Diego, where he played football. According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, Dana III started with flag football as a child before transitioning to tackle football. He also spent time around wrestling and martial arts, but football became his primary focus. Dana White once said, "He loves football. It's literally his passion. The way I feel about fighting is the way he feels about football." Dana III has often spoken about looking up to his father and respecting the efforts behind his success. Outside sports, he shares football, surfing, and snowboarding content on Instagram.
Aidan White Shifts from Football to Boxing and Motorsports
Aidan White, born in July 2002, initially shared his brother's interest in football but later turned to boxing. In March 2018, he made his amateur boxing debut at the St. Patrick's Day Boxing Show, winning against Andre LeClerc in the Junior Golden Gloves Division. Dana White recalled the unexpected decision: "For some reason a couple months ago as soon as football season ended my son Aidan says 'Dad I want a boxing fight' and I said 'Cool, let's do it.'" During a 2023 appearance on Theo Von's podcast This Past Weekend, Dana described Aidan as "artistic" and "talented," noting his work with content company Thrill One and involvement in Nitrocross events. He also enjoys surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding.
Savannah White Remains the Most Private of Dana White's Children
Savannah White, born in August 2006, is the youngest and only daughter in the family. Dana has called her a "miracle baby" after doctors once believed Anne White could not have more children following an ectopic pregnancy. On This Past Weekend, Dana said, "As a dad, you have to sort of oversee and protect your daughter more than you did your sons." Unlike her brothers, Savannah stays largely out of the public eye. Dana revealed she was a high school cheerleader and was considering college plans in 2023. For her 16th birthday, he celebrated with a large party in Las Vegas, continuing a family tradition he had also created for her brothers.
