Savannah White is the daughter of the president of the UFC, Dana White, and thus has been tried to live life away from the limelight, yet still become a subject of curiosity for most followers. Being born on August 23, 2006, Savannah is presently 18 years old and thus has lived her entire life in the media spotlight because of her very commonly known famous father in mixed martial arts. Although she is not directly into sports like her brothers, Savannah has once shown interest in gymnastics and generally keeps a low profile compared to her family.
Early Life and Family Dynamics
Savannah is the youngest of three children born to Dana White with his wife, Annie White. Her older brothers are Dana White III and Aidan White, each taking two different career paths in sports for Dana III and boxing for the latter.
With her family being as highly publicized as it is, very little regarding the personal life of Savannah is able to slip away from the media. In fact, Dana White even mentioned he enforces more rules on Savannah than her brothers.
Interest in Gymnastics
Although the future professional path is not very clear in the case of Savannah, she does seem to have a great interest in gymnastics. Her father Dana White has posted videos practicing at the UFC Performance Institute. The little one does seem to enjoy the sport and is practicing passionately. Although there was one posting in which many believed she could suffer an injury during one of her moves, no further update has been given, but from what can be seen Dana does support his daughter’s athletic interests.
Life in the Public Eye
Being the daughter of such an iconic figure comes with its challenges. Savannah has had personal incidents that drew media attention, like the injury to her body by her family dog when she was young. Regardless of those moments, Dana White has kept his children out of the public eye as much as possible, especially Savannah, whose life is more private than her brothers.
Family Influence and Dana White’s Support
Even Dana White has gone on record to say he is far more protective of Savannah than he is of his sons. He certainly proved that in 2022, as he rushed into quick action after word of a serious threat against Savannah had surfaced, issued by a former MMA fighter. This directly reflected his commitment to keeping his daughter safe. Contrary to his overprotective tendencies, Dana has been very supportive of his daughter’s growth and independence. For instance, on her 16th birthday, he gave his daughter a no-holds-barred celebration, hiring an opulent venue in Las Vegas and hosting a party with press coverage; this celebration was similar to the ones he threw for his sons when they reached their respective milestone birthdays.
What the Future
Holds As Savannah is beginning to get out of her teenage years into adulthood, many begin to wonder what her future may entail. While her brothers are deep in sports, it would appear as though Savannah is finding her niche. With her father at her side and her interest in gymnastics, many will be waiting with bated breath on what her career and public life entail. Not surprisingly to anyone who knows even a little about her family’s fame, Savannah White has been nothing if not interesting to watch, balancing the daughter of an MMA giant with growing in her personal interests, keeping private.
