Who Is Robert Whittaker’s Wife Sofia? Do They Have Kids Together? Age, Profession, Children, & More

Former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is gearing up to take on the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev at the UFC’s return to the Middle East at UFC 308. Currently, the #3 ranked middleweight is coming off of a win last time out against up-and-comer Ikram Aliskerov, who took ‘Borz”s spot due to the Emirati star’s health crisis that caused him to pull out.

Robert Whittaker is a highly successful athlete in the fight business and is a full-time family man when he’s away from the cage or not training. We may know about the fighting bit, but now let’s get to know ‘The Reaper’s family bit, starting with his wife, Sofia Whittaker.

Who is Robert Whittaker married to? What does she do?

The Australian married his beautiful wife, Sofia Whittaker all the way back in 2014, and she has been with him throughout his UFC career. We saw the Whittaker family grow as his wife made quite a lot of appearances in the corner, supporting Whittaker throughout his fights.

Sofia Whittaker has a bachelor’s degree in exercise and health from the Australian Catholic University. Whittaker’s wife had also worked in various gyms while accomplishing her studies and also has connections with sports.

The couple has been together for over 12 years now, as Sofia and Robert Whittaker had reportedly started dating back in 2011. The Whittakers decided to tie the knot after dating for three years.

Mrs. Whittaker has been supportive of ‘Reaper’ throughout his career, offering the 33-year-old middleweight a loving family to come back to after his fights inside the UFC octagon. A family that has grown in numbers over the years.

How many kids does ‘The Reaper’ have with Sofia?

Sofia and Robert Whittaker have also surrounded themselves with quite a lot of kids, as they have brought five children into the world. The couple are parents to 3 sons and a daughter, namely John, Jack, Jack, and Lilliana.

Some of the Whittaker children are following in their father’s footsteps by taking up martial arts. Leading up to his fight against Paulo Costa, Mr. And Mrs. Whittaker welcomed their 5th child into the world as they revealed the news by posting a picture on their social media.

Something similar happened before his fight at UFC 221 in Perth. Whittaker was the then-middleweight champion and had to pull out of his fight due to injury. This proved to be a blessing in disguise since he could be with his wife who was fully pregnant with their third child Lilliana.

“It was horrible that I had to pull out of that fight, and that I couldn’t defend my belt in my home country, but to not miss out on my daughter’s birth … I wouldn’t change a thing. The baby was very small and had to be induced the week of the fight, so to be home with Sofia through all that, and to be there for the birth, meant everything to me,” he said. Lilliana was born four days before UFC 221. And that’s not the only family he has.

Whittaker also has legal guardianship over his half-brother and half-sister. However, not much is known as to why this is the case. Nevertheless, we can be certain that despite the outcome of his fight against Khamzat Chimaev on October 26, Robert Whittaker will still have a loving family to go back to.
