Reggie is not the only one in the family with trophies. Lilit is a professional ballroom dancer and choreographer who has won several competitions since as early as 2005, per the World DanceSport Federation.
In 2008, she and dancer Grigori Sedrakyan won the National Dance Council's amateur Latin championship; that year, they also placed second in the Latin World Championship in Melbourne, Australia, per American Dancer.
Lilit even treated her new husband to a special presentation at their wedding.
"Lilit performed a dance for Reggie," a source told PEOPLE at the time. "It was so beautiful! Reggie had a smile on his face I can't even describe."
The award-winning dancer occasionally shares videos of her skills in the studio on her Instagram.
She is a fitness enthusiast
Lilit doesn't rely solely on her dance practice to stay in shape. The performer is also passionate about fitness, as evidenced by the variety of workouts she does.
The mom of three often documents her regimen on Instagram, including intense boxing sessions, hiking, weightlifting and golf.
Reggie and Lilit also play golf together, and she shares her progress on Instagram.

Reggie and Lilit welcomed their first baby, daughter Briseis, on May 6, 2013. Their son Uriah was born next, on July 12, 2015, and their youngest, son Agyeman (previously named Agyemang), followed on Sept. 2, 2017.
According to Lilit, the kids are all following in their parent's sporty footsteps.
"They're all athletic, obviously — that's a mandatory in the house," she told PEOPLE in 2020. "Everybody's got to stretch, everybody's got to exercise. That helps a lot to kill that energy during the day so they're good to go to sleep."

She and Reggie adjusted their parenting style during the COVID-19 pandemic
Like many parents, Reggie and Lilit took on the role of home-school tutors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple spoke to PEOPLE about navigating this new experience.
"We've been really focusing on this time with our family and trying to better ourselves," Reggie said. "It's definitely been a challenge for us to homeschool but together we feel like we've been learning in this process a lot about ourselves, and we're making it work."
Lilit added that they had to adjust their parenting styles to accommodate the extended time spent under the same roof.
"Our patience had to develop a lot more than it was," she shared. "We have to learn how to be a lot more patient with each other and with the kids, because being with them all day long can push you to another level, stress wise. We just simply cannot allow that to translate to the kids."
The pair supported each other by taking breaks to decompress and return refreshed. "Then when we come back to the kids, we're at our best level," Lilit said.
