“I really wish that dad could have met Amy. He was really vocal to me about the girls that I would go out with…Him and Amy would’ve really got along great.”
Dale Earnhardt Jr. met his wife Amy Reimann, back in 2009. By 2016, they were married and soon after welcomed their daughter Isla Rose. Now, they have another child on the way.
“I would have loved to have shared Isla. And seen how dad was with her. I don’t know whether we would talk about me as a father.”
