Alex Honnold, celebrated for his daring climbs, is now navigating the complexities of fatherhood. He married Sanni McCandless in 2020, and the couple welcomed their first daughter, June, in February 2022. June's birth involved an emergency C-section and a week in the NICU due to breathing difficulties.

Their second daughter, Alice, was born in February 2024, making the sisters close in age. Alice is named after Alex's grandmother, though her mother affectionately calls her Summer. The family enjoys outdoor activities, recently taking their daughters on their first backpacking trip.

Honnold acknowledges that fatherhood has profoundly changed his perspective and how he approaches his climbing career. While he still pursues high-risk ascents, such as in the upcoming 'Skyscraper Live' special, his time is now more focused on family, influencing his training and life goals.
