Who is Anne White?

Anne was born in the United States of America as Anne Louise Stella on January 16, 1969. The details of her family are unclear because she likes to live discreetly.
She is Polish-American by ethnicity and follows Christianity. She completed her high school studies at Hermon High School.

In eighth grade, the couple grew close to one another. In 1996, Dana wed Anne. Since then, they have been happily married. The pair is getting stronger than ever after going through challenging times together. The marriage, though, has also faced problems in the past.
Stella White stood by her spouse throughout his health issues. The UFC President received a diagnosis of Meniere’s disease in 2012.

The New Year’s Eve Incident where Dana and Anne got into a physical altercation
On New Year’s Eve, Dana White and his wife engaged in a fight that stunned spectators in a busy Cabo San Lucas nightclub. Dana regrettably blames alcohol for the situation.
The UFC boss and his wife Anne White were having a good time on Saturday night with pals at El Squid Roe, but things changed not long after midnight.
When Dana leaned over to speak to Anne while they were in a VIP section above the dance floor, she reacted by smacking him across the face. Dana also slapped her once right before their friends intervened.
Witnesses in the club claim that Dana and Anne were both heavily intoxicated before the fighting started and it all happened for no reason. Thankfully, the issue was resolved in less than a minute.
Dana And Anne’s Apology After the Incident
After the footage which was published by TMZ surfaced quickly all over the internet, Dana was quick to apologize for the behavior. In a statement provided to TMZ, Dana said:
“You’ve heard me say over the years, ‘There is never, ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman,’ and now here I am on TMZ talking about it.”
He added:
“My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years. We’ve known each other since we were 12 years old. We’ve obviously been through some s— together. We’ve got three kids.
“This is one of those situations that’s horrible, I’m embarrassed — but it’s also one of those situations that right now we’re more concerned about our kids. We have three kids and obviously, since the video popped up, we’ve shown the kids the video and we’re more focused on our family right now.
“I’m literally making no excuses for this thing at all. It’s never happened before. It’s the first time it’s ever happened. People are going to say what they’re going to say and it is what is. Whatever people say is deserved. I deserve it.”
Both Dana and Anne seem to be on the same page regarding the incident as Anne had this to say about it in a separate statement she provided to TMZ:
“Dana and I have been married for almost 30 years. To say this is out of character for him is an understatement. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Unfortunately, we were both drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and things got out of control, on both sides. We’ve talked this through as a family and apologized to each other. I just hope people will respect our privacy for the sake of our kids.”
