Tony Finau‘s wife, Alayna Finau, has been there to cheer him on throughout his professional golf career.
The Utah native and Alayna exchanged vows in 2012 and later welcomed five children: Jraice, Leilene “Neenee” Aiaga, Tony, Sage and Sienna-Vee. Before their youngest child’s arrival in 2021, Tony hinted at his desire to keep expanding his big brood.
“We’ll probably do five or six [kids],” he told The Charlotte Observer. “We come from big families. I think Polynesians in general, but also [in] the Mormon community, [Latter Day Saints], we like big families. I have five brothers and three sisters. [My wife] has three sisters and a brother.”
The twosome have not publicly outlined the story of how they met, but they’ve bonded over their faith throughout their romance. “I hear people say things like, ‘Oh, wow, I wouldn’t think that you’re a member [of the church] or Mormon, or anything like that.’ Some people hear different things about Mormons and what we do, what we believe,” Tony said in a 2017 interview. “So, I think it’s a compliment to me.”
