Riley Gaines & Louis Barker: Life as a New Parents | Sage Steele Show | EP 78

Riley Gaines has become one of the most recognizable voices in the fight to protect women’s sports, but in this conversation, we got to see another side of her as a wife, a new mom, and a woman learning to balance purpose with peace.

Riley and her husband Louis sat down with me to talk about faith, marriage, and how they’ve stayed grounded through all the chaos of public life. We talked about their journey as newlyweds, how becoming parents has changed their perspective, and what it really feels like to be thrust into the national spotlight.

Riley opened up about the pressure of being a public figure, the criticism she faces, and how she finds strength in her faith and in her relationship with Louis. Together, they shared how they handle disagreements, protect their marriage, and stay focused on what matters most: family, purpose, and truth.

It’s a rare and refreshing look at the woman behind the headlines, and the man who’s been by her side through it all.
