In September 2020, Alex Honnold married his longtime partner, Sanni McCandless. Their residence is in Las Vegas, Nevada. On Feb. 17, 2022, a girl named June became the couple’s first child, according to the climbing site.
Honnold and Sanni fell in love shortly after meeting at a literary event in 2015. In Free Solo, Sanni and their friendship with Honnold are highlighted. Honnold announced on social media on December 25, 2019 that he and McCandless were engaged.

On Christmas Eve, Honnold asked his fiancée Sanni McCandless to marry him. He immediately shared the happy news on Instagram. “I received a marriage proposal from @sannimccandless. Happy Holidays!”, he wrote in the caption of the message. According to the image, Honnold likely proposed outside and gave her fiancé a pretty engagement diamond.
Although Honnold and McCandless are no strangers to adventure, we have a feeling their next climbing effort together will be their best yet.
