Who is Dana White’s wife? UFC chief apologizes for slapping wife Anne White at New Year’s Eve party
CABO, MEXICO: UFC chief Dana White once banned fighters from the company for being violent toward women. However, he now stands in the same position. Dana was filmed smacking his wife Anne in the face after he got slapped by her during a row in a club in Mexico on New Year's Eve. Anne and Dana have been married for almost three decades and share three children. Both have addressed their actions and claimed that they have shown the disturbing video to their children as well.
The 53-year-old president got candid and told TMZ that the situation was horrible. He said, "My wife and I were out Saturday night on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, that is what happened. I am one of the guys who says there is never, ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman and now here I am on TMZ talking about it. This is one of those situations that is horrible. I am embarrassed. We have three kids and since the video popped up, we have shown the kids and we are more focused on our family right now. People are going to have their opinions on this and people's opinions would be right, especially in my case. You don't put your hands on a woman, ever." Eyewitnesses have claimed that Dana and Anne were heavily intoxicated prior to the physical altercation that unfolded.

Who is Dana White's wife?
Dana White met his wife Anna Stella White in school. The two dated for quite some time before tying the know in 1996. Throughout the many years of marriage, the two have stuck to each other despite the controversies surrounding their relationship and Dana's career. They have three children together, two sons named Dana III and Aidan, and a daughter Savannah. Anna was born in 1969 and graduated from Hermon High School. She lives a fairly discreet life despite her marriage to a celebrity.
In response, Anne is quoted by TMZ, "Dana and I have been married for almost 30 years. To say this is out of character for him is an understatement -- nothing like this has ever happened before. Unfortunately, we were both drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and things got out of control, on both sides. We’ve talked this through as a family and apologized to each other." Dana has previously taken a stand against fighters who were violent toward women. "There’s one thing that you never bounce back from and that’s putting your hands on a woman. Been that way in the UFC since we started here. You don’t bounce back from putting your hands on a woman," he was quoted as saying by MMA Fighting in 2014.
