Why did George Foreman name all of his sons George?

Traditionally, the father's name is passed down to one son, and then it is up to that son to keep the legacy going.

However, Foreman decided to break the tradition and name all of his sons, George Edward Foreman.

In March 2019, Foreman opened up about the decision and revealed that he did it to keep them united.

"I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common," he said at the time, via PEOPLE.

"I say to them, 'If one of us goes up, then we all go up together. And if one goes down, we all go down together!'"

He then joked: "I tell people, 'If you're going to get hit as many times as I've been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield, you're not going to remember many names.'"

While all his sons might share the name George, they have since earned nicknames, PEOPLE notes.

George III goes by Monk, George IV goes by Big Wheel, George V goes by Red, and George VI goes by Little Joey.

Is George Foreman married?

Over the years, Foreman has tied the knot five times.

His previous wives have included Adrienne Calhoun (1971-1974), Cynthia Lewis (1977-1979), Sharon Goodson (1981-1982), and Andrea Skeete (1982-1985).
