Famous actor and martial arts master Chuck Norris is renowned for always having a stunning woman by his side.
Twins Danielle Kelley and Dakota Alan were born in 2001, and he has been married to former model Gena O’Kelley since 1998.
Norris has established more than 30 karate dojos and has instructed famous people like Steve McQueen and Priscilla Presley. In addition to Way of the Dragon, Missing in Action, Code of Silence, and The Delta Force, the former U.S. Air Force officer has acted in more well-known films.
The father of five from Oklahoma met Gena nine years after divorcing Dianne Kay Holechek, his first wife of 30 years. They were high school classmates in Torrance, California, and got married when he was 18 and she was 17.
The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Mike, in 1962, four years later. However, according to the Mirror, Norris also had a daughter the next year as a result of an extramarital relationship with Johanna.
The Good Guys Wear Black actor expressed his gratitude to the woman for retaining her child in a 2007 Daily Herald piece.
Norris speculates that there might be illegitimate parents in the globe. “I am aware that there are no illegitimate children because I was one. For each of our lives, God has a plan and an objective.
The well-known martial artist found out about his daughter Dina DiCiolli 26 years after she was born. He has competed in various martial arts events and won most of them.
While serving in the U.S. Air Force and stationed in California, Norris admitted in his book “Against All Odds: My Story” that he had an affair with his first wife and fathered a kid with a different lady named Johanna.
Norris never revealed his marital status to Johanna in the book, and he acknowledged that he still feels bad about it.
Norris was unaware that Johanna had become pregnant and delivered their daughter. When Dina wrote to him in 1991 and claimed to be his biological daughter, he learned about it.
When Dina was 16 years old, she overheard her mother discussing Norris with a friend and realized he was her father.
Norris remembered the first time he saw his daughter Dina and how there was no need for DNA or blood tests to establish Dina as his child. He ran to her as soon as he spotted her, encircling her in his arms as tears streamed freely from their eyes. He stated in the book that at that precise moment, he felt as though he had known her all his life.
Dina is a married realtor and the mother of three kids: sons Dante and Eli and daughter Gabi.
The pleased mother posted a photo of Gabi posing in the lab while conducting medical research in June 2012. In October 2018, Gabi got married and posted photos of the event to Facebook.
She posted a photo of her and her husband smiling with members of her family and Norris and his wife, O’Kelley.
Of his five children, Norris is incredibly proud. Being a parent is one of God’s greatest privileges a man can experience, he wrote in a June 2017 Father’s Day post when he posted a photo wishing everyone a Happy Father’s Day.
I adore how Norris welcomed Dina into his life right away; after all this time, she deserved to get to know him. I wish them the best of luck as they continue to get to know one another and have fun together.
