During the conversation, Maher assured White that unlike other podcasters, he ͏would n͏ot ask ͏a͏bout White’s feelings. In͏ response, Dana White stated he doesn’t lik͏e to share his feelings with͏ anyone, and this h͏abit has ͏often angered his wife, Anne Whit͏e. “don’t want to ever fu**ing talk about my feelings with another fucking dude, uh, but you don’t mean that,” said Dana White.

He further added, “I mean, that’s too far. I mean, no, no, I’m that guy. I’m that guy. I It drives my wife fucking crazy. No, I don’t want to talk about my feelings.” The UFC CEO shares a deep bond with his family. He cares about them way too much. However, he is a bit harsh on himself. Down in the conversation, Dana White added that his wife always asks him whether he wants to talk about his deceased parents, but White would always turn it down, stating that he is as fit as a fiddle.

It is evident White does not hold any conversation about his feelings because he runs an entity that is one of the most successful entertainment industry on the face of the planet. Interestingly, this is not the first time the UFC CEO has shared something about his family.

Dana White seldom talks about his family, but when Theo Von asked about his fatherly duties, White had to come in to explain how he treats his kids. The 54-year-old proudly talks about his family whenever someone forces him to talk about them. The UFC CEO has three children- Dana White III and Aiden White, two boys and a girl, Savannah White.

While conversing with the podcaster, White explained that being a girl parent is a bit more difficult than being a boy parent. It’s tougher being a girl dad because I didn’t really give a s*** what the boys did. They could do whatever they want… she can’t do whatever she wants. As a dad you have to sort of oversee and protect your daughter more than you did your sons,” said White.
