Keilani Bautista grew up without her father around, as the famous WWE star admitted to spending most of his time on the road wrestling. Now she is a mother of two and enjoys life outside the spotlight despite her father's fame.

Keilani's father has spent years as one of WWE's most successful stars and has reportedly accumulated about $16 million in wealth to provide Keilani and her siblings with a good life.

However, that life did not include her father at times, as her parents went their separate ways when she was younger, and her father's life has been riddled with scandal, including cheating.

Keilani Made Her Social Media Private

While her father has four million followers on Instagram at the time of writing, Keilani has a much smaller social media presence. She has a Facebook account and joined Twitter in April 2012; however, she set both accounts to private.

In her Twitter bio, she wrote, "Hey peeps, yes, this is really me, Keilani Bautista, the daughter of WWE star Dave Bautista. There are fakes of me and my family on here, but we hope to get them off."

Similarly to how she was raised, Keilani keeps her two sons, Aiden and Jacob, and their identities out of the spotlight and leaves little trace of her personal life. However, after her father tried his hand at acting, he saw his fame increase.

And with over four hundred posts on Instagram at the time of publication, the wrestler-turned-action star documents his life both on and off the screen.

Her Dad Was "Never Home"

Born in 1969 in Washington, D.C., Keilani's father came from humble beginnings. In his book, "Batista Unleashed," the WWE star detailed his childhood in a less affluent neighborhood surrounded by drugs and crime.

This led to him joining a gang that saw him committing petty crimes. However, as he grew older and his signature muscular physique grew, he was charged with assault when he landed a job as a bouncer.

Despite Keilani's father's past, he maintained a successful career in the WWE wrestling ring, but that life came with a cost as well, as he was often absent from her life. Her father said:

"Throughout my wrestling career, I just ... I was never home. I lost a marriage with someone who was a very, very close friend of mine. We still remain friends, but just never being home just tore our marriage apart."

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Keilani's parents' marriage ended because her father was always away and because he struggled to remain faithful while on the road.

Keilani was born during her father's first marriage to her mother, Glenda Fe Bautista. The exes married on March 25, 1990, and welcomed Keilani that same year. Her sister, Athena, followed in 1992 and is the only one of her siblings to follow in their father's footsteps.

However, her acting career was short-lived as she appeared in one film called "Greed" in 2014. Keilani's parents divorced in April 1998, and that same year her father remarried a fitness instructor and businesswoman called Angie.

They welcomed a son, Oliver, Keilani's only step-sibling before they divorced after eight years as well. While reflecting on his second marriage, Keilani's father said:

"She wanted a husband who was going to be home, and I was like, 'Make a choice.' And sometimes it's hard for me to say, but admittedly, I chose my career because it was the only shot I had."

After retiring from sports entertainment, Dave Bautista revealed in 2021 that he had found love again following the end of his third marriage but was reluctant to tell who the mystery woman was. Instead, he shared that he had found someone who understood him.
