Who is Regis Prograis’ wife Raquel and how many kids does she have with the light welterweight boxer?
REGIS Prograis came to the attention of British fight fans when he travelled to London in 2019 to take on Josh Taylor in the final of the World Boxing Super Series.
He’s facing off against England’s Jack Catterall on October 26, 2024 — here we get to know the American boxer’s wife Raquel.
Regis Prograis is an accomplished American southpaw best known for his achievements in the light welterweight division.
The professional boxer chose his own nickname, “Rougarou” — Louisiana French for ‘werewolf’ — to pay homage to his grandfather, who is of Native American descent.
He is married to Raquel Prograis.
Who is Raquel Prograis?
Very little has been reported about Raquel, so a full biography of her life, or a complete timeline of her relationship with Reigs, is currently unavailable.
The couple prefers to keep their private information out of the public domain.
Their meeting was reportedly serendipitous, having first crossed paths through a mutual client.
Who that client was or what business they had with either of the pair was not disclosed.
Despite initial language barriers — Regis didn’t speak Portuguese and Raquel was not fluent in English — their connection proved strong enough to lead to marriage.
Marriage
Regis and Raquel tied the knot in December 2012, but details of their big day have not been reported.
On top of being the partner of a professional boxer, Raquel has carved out her own identity as a YouTuber with over 1,000 subscribers.
Her channel is called Raquel’s Mini Luxury and the content she posts is centred on fashion, shopping and lifestyle.
She writes: “Hey my name is Raquel I’m Luxury addicted, in love with everything Lux.
“I upload videos with unboxing, reviews and more, twice a week, with one bonus.”
Family life
Regis and Raquel have three children together — two daughters and a son.
Their son Ray was born on October 20, 2013, with daughter Khalessi following on August 10, 2016.
In November 2020, the boxer shared a video of Raquel giving birth to their third child, a girl, in a pool — but her name is yet to be reported.
Support system
Raquel has been a constant source of support for Regis throughout his boxing career.
Her presence ringside and her role in managing family life while Regis trains and competes demonstrates the strong partnership they share.
This was particularly evident in November 2020 when Regis was preparing to fight Juan Heraldez, while Raquel was due to give birth to their second daughter.
Family values
Despite being married to a public figure, Raquel seems to prioritise her family’s privacy — especially when it comes to their children.
Her role in maintaining family stability no doubt contributes significantly to Regis’ career and his ability to focus on boxing.
While much of her life remains private, her presence and support have undoubtedly been significant factors in Regis’ success.
