The pair has three children: Elijah, Bobbie Grace, and Micah. Elijah follows in his father’s footsteps and plays college basketball for the University of Lynchburg.
Similarly, Bobbie is also involved in sports, though specific details about her are very rare in the public domain.
On the other hand, Micah is connected to the Air Force Falcons, which indicates his involvement with the Air Force Academy.
It seems that Leslie prefers to keep her personal life out of the public eye, which is why there isn’t much detail about her in the public domain. She is also active on social media, but her account is private.
On October 4, 2020, the coach posted a picture of his family with a touching caption tha read,
One of the things I pray for everyday is for my kids to have the same college experience I had at UNC. I want them to be surrounded by GREAT people like Coach Smith, Coach Guthridge, Coach Ford and Coach Hanners. I want them to find GREAT friends like King Rice, Rick Fox, Pete Chilcutt and Justin Kuralt. I want them to get a GREAT education and I want them in an environment that’s going to give them a chance/an opportunity.
Davis publicly expressed tremendous support and pride in his son Elijah’s decision to attend the University of Lynchburg.
He further highlighted the excitement for Elijah’s future and the opportunities it holds.
In an interview with Chapel Hill Magazine, he shared how they first met in high school and how she has been a constant source of support throughout his career.
He also mentioned that she is the only person he wants to spend every day with.
