As the former wrestler and Guardians of the Galaxy star draws fans’ concern over his dramatic weight loss, we look at the lives of his 3 children Former WWE wrestler and Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista, 55, recently addressed his sudden weight loss, explaining it was all part of shedding the weight he gained for his role on Knock at the Cabin (2023). In a chat with TikTok personality Chris Van Vliet, Bautista revealed he put on an “uncomfortable amount of weight”, hitting 143kg (315 pounds) for the role. “I got really big for a role, and it was uncomfortably big,” he shared, noting that this time, it wasn’t muscle but carbs that were responsible for his size.

After the film wrapped, Bautista worked hard to slim down, admitting “it took forever”, but he now feels much better. For fans concerned about his slimmer appearance, he reassured them: “I’m six foot four [193cm], 240 pounds [109kg]! I still look like a gorilla next to your typical actor.” After hanging up his WWE boots, Bautista took the acting world by storm, but not without some personal turbulence along the way – including three marriages, with his most recent to competitive pole dancer Sarah Jade having ended in 2019.

Despite his busy career, Bautista remains a dedicated father to his three children: daughters Keilani and Athena, from his first marriage, and son Oliver, from his second marriage. Here’s what to know about Dave Bautista’s children. Keilani Bautista Keilani Bautis.
