Ronald Dean Coleman was born in Louisiana on May 13, 1964, . His mother nearly died in the process of giving birth to a champion. Hours, not days, accounted for the baby's rapid growth. At the age of 12, Ronnie weighed 176 lbs (80 kg) and had grown to a height of 70 ft (180 cm). A boy's early involvement in sports was determined by such physical statistics as he grew up.
At the 'Metroflex' gym, where rusted bars and crude dumbbells stood in for modern equipment, Coleman began to train for his job as a police officer. The gym's owner, Brian Dobson, took notice of Ron's excellent form right away and was personally involved in his training.
Coleman wasn't sure he wanted to be a bodybuilding sensation right away, but he didn't turn down a free gym membership and professional training. Following a seven-month transformation, the cops won the 1990 contest 'Mr. Texas,' going on to win the American World Heavyweight Championship in 1990 and the World Heavyweight Championship two years later.
After meeting bodybuilder Vickie Gates at the outset of his career as an athlete, Coleman enlisted her help in training and competing. After losing the title of Mr. Universe, the bodybuilder's personal life was clobbered by the separation.
Ronnie married Rouaida Christine Achkar in 2007 and she gave birth to two daughters, Jamilleah and Valencia Daniel. The couple's union was not a happy one, and they soon parted ways.
When Coleman married Susan Williamson in 2016, she was a longtime friend and former personal coach of the athlete. As a result, Susan and Ronnie now have a large family. The athlete enjoys raucous family get-togethers and is frequently encircled by a large number of relatives.
