Who Is Hubert Davis’ Wife? All About Leslie Davis
When he’s not busy coaching during March Madness, Hubert Davis has a great support system at home
The head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball team, who took over for longtime coach Roy Williams in 2021, has been married to his wife Leslie Davis for more than two decades.
The couple first met while attending high school in Virginia, where they both grew up, before crossing paths again at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Though their romance was a slow burn during those years, they started dating after Leslie graduated, and eventually tied the knot. She’s an Army child
Davis was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, but grew up in Burke, Virginia. Like Davis, his wife also grew up in the area. During an interview with Chapel Hill Magazine, the UNC coach revealed that his wife was an “an Army child.” As her dad worked at the Pentagon outside of Washington, D.C., they resided in the northern Virginia area.They first met in high school
Davis and Leslie first met when they were 16 and 15, respectively, while attending Lake Braddock Secondary School in Virginia. Fun fact: the high school is also the alma mater of another famous UNC alumnus, soccer star Mia Hamm.According to Davis, he and Leslie connected and developed a close bond during their high school years. “We just instantly became great friends and were great friends all throughout high school,” he told Chapel Hill Magazine of Leslie, who was one year behind him.
They both went to UNC
Though Leslie initially wanted to attend Davidson College in North Carolina, Davis told Chapel Hill Magazine he was shocked when she ended up going to UNC like him.They got married in 1999
It wasn’t until after Leslie graduated from UNC that their friendship became something more. “After she graduated, we just looked at each other and said let’s date and get married,” Davis recalled to Chapel Hill Magazine. Together, Davis and Leslie have three children, Elijah Webb, Bobbie Grace and Micah. His oldest two children are named after his late mother Bobbie Webb Davis, who died of oral cancer when he was 16.
