Action Bronson is a big man with a wide range of interests and activities, from rapping to acting and wrestling. His musical work has been considered controversial, and his TV show has a salty title, but first and foremost, he is an adoring husband.

Action Bronson's wife is Valeria Salazar, and she's the woman who has turned his life around and put him on a journey to a healthier lifestyle for her sake and their children.

Action Bronson was born Ariyan Arslani on December 2, 1983, in Flushing, New York. Bronson was a cook at his Albanian dad's Forest Hills restaurant before he launched his first mixtape.

By 2011, he'd released his first album, "Dr. Lecter." A year later, he was signed by Goliath Artists, the label representing Eminem. Bronson is worth $10 million six albums later, and music isn't the only thing on his plate.

He hosted two TV shows and acted in several movies, including "Suicide Squad" with Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Jared Leto, and Martin Scorsese's iconic "The Irishman" with Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino.

In September 2022, Bronson took his first steps in wrestling after radical weight loss he confessed was inspired by his wife, Valeria Salazar.

The Couple Revealed Their Baby's Gender at a Party with Friends

Bronson met Valeria Salazar, the woman he calls his "Indigenous Queen," in 2017, and the couple has kept their relationship discreet. Still, they did share the gender reveal party for their baby in late 2021.

Their son Benicio was born in November 2019 and was Bronson's third child. The rapper was already the father of two children, Hannah Bronson and Elijah Bronson, from a previous relationship.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Bronson, who once weighed close to 375 pounds, lost well over 130 pounds.

His two older children are teenagers, but their mother's identity is still a secret, and little is known about their lives. However, Bronson is devoted to them and has his daughter's name tattooed on his chest.

Action Bronson Played Music to Help His Wife through Labor

Bronson revealed he was present to help his wife through her labor with Benicio. They had arranged for soothing Peruvian pipe music, but after 18 hours, Valeria was still in labor.

The rapper decided to turn up the volume by playing DMX, even though he did avoid the part with the "bad words." The result, according to Bronson, was terrific. He said:

"I played DMX. ‘stop, drop.' That [expletive] jumped out of her! I swear on everything; it's on camera. It's on film; as soon as the Peruvian flute music stopped, DMX came on, he heard the [barking], and he jumped out."

The Couple Loves to Share Their Relationship Moments

Even though Bronson kept his past relationships secret, he loved sharing the sweet moments of his life with Valeria. She often shouts out to Bronson on Instagram. In one adoring post, she wrote:

"Happy solar return to my best friend. One of the most admirable humans in my life with a Heart of Gold // filled with so much magic & light. (...) a man of many wonders but the best one being your love to our family. (sic)"

Valeria, a social worker, is also active in the community, encouraging women, especially mothers, to share their experiences and creativity.

On Valeria's birthday, September 28, 2022, Bronson shared a photo of himself with his hand on his wife's baby bump and captioned it:

"THE HAPPIEST AND HEALTHIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO MY BEST FRIEND. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN DESCRIBE. TO 10 MILLION MORE."

Valeria and Action Have a Second Child Too

On December 25, 2022, Valeria shared a video on Instagram that showed the arrival of their second child, a little girl they named Lennox Daisy. Valeria wrote about the birth:

"Midnight contractions rising, my brain blocking the reality of meeting you in a few hours …“i need more time” I’d say to myself. But who am eye to control when I’d meet you Earth side -& so the energy of surrendering began to unfold (sic)."

Valeria thanked the midwives, the doula, the family who surrounded her throughout her ordeal, and especially her best friend, Action Bronson.

Valeria Seems to Be Interested in Several Spiritual Practices

Valeria and Bronson often refer to their romantic relationship as being for life and their love as a spiritual bond that transcends time. She often speaks of a higher power that inspires her.

She is into yoga and shared a post celebrating 200 hours of practice, and she revealed that meditation had transformed her life. Valeria's passion for balance likely helped Action Bronson start the weight loss journey he believes saved his life.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Bronson, who once weighed close to 375 pounds, lost well over 130 pounds, and it's all thanks to his love for Valeria and his children.
