YouTube golf personality Fat Perez, whose real name is Nick Stubbe, has built a successful career through the popular Bob Does Sports channel while keeping his marriage to Anne Cole Stubbe largely private. The former accountant’s career change has attracted attention as his online audience continues to grow, with his wife playing an important role in his decision to pursue content creation full-time.
In a June 2025 interview, Stubbe discussed his continued connection to Richmond, Virginia, where he and his wife have established their home. He also spoke about their plans for the future, explaining that the couple hoped to raise a family in the area. His comments provided a rare look at his personal life beyond the golf videos that made him famous.
Who Is Fat Perez’s Wife Anne Cole Stubbe?
Anne Cole Stubbe is the wife of Nick Stubbe, the American golfer and internet personality widely recognized as Fat Perez.
Unlike her husband, Anne has maintained a relatively private life and does not regularly appear in Bob Does Sports videos. Information about her education, professional background and personal activities remains limited.
The couple married in 2021, before Nick became a full-time content creator. Their relationship was already established when he began considering whether to leave his accounting career.
Anne’s involvement in that decision became public when Stubbe discussed the financial conversations they had before he joined the YouTube golf channel.
How Fat Perez and Anne Cole Built Their Marriage
Although the couple have not publicly shared a detailed account of how they first met, their marriage began before Fat Perez became a recognizable figure in online golf entertainment.
In 2022, Stubbe appeared on the Subpar podcast alongside Bob Does Sports founder Robby Berger. During the conversation, he recalled visiting Pinehurst, North Carolina, with his wife and unexpectedly meeting Berger.
“I just happened to be in Pinehurst with my wife one weekend,” Stubbe said.
The meeting eventually led to Stubbe playing golf with Berger and becoming a regular part of his growing YouTube operation.
At the time, Stubbe was still working in accounting and had not planned to make golf content his primary profession.
Anne Cole Supported His Career Change
Stubbe previously worked in public accounting and commercial real estate investment accounting before leaving his job in July 2022.
His decision came approximately one year after his marriage to Anne. During a 2024 interview, he explained that his wife supported the move but wanted to ensure that the opportunity would provide enough financial security.
The couple discussed the income he would need to earn before leaving his established career.
Stubbe later recalled that the channel’s early financial success exceeded the conditions Anne had established.
His new career also brought unexpected travel commitments. What initially appeared to be occasional filming trips quickly expanded into frequent appearances, collaborations and golf events across the country.
During his Subpar interview, Stubbe acknowledged that the increased travel schedule required adjustments at home.
Does Fat Perez Have Children?
As of the most recent detailed public interview about his family in June 2025, Fat Perez and Anne Cole had not started a family.
Speaking about his connection to Richmond, Stubbe said he hoped to raise children there in the future.
“Richmond’s always been home for me,” he said. “For us, we’re Central Virginia forever.”
The interview also established that his wife and longtime friends continued to treat him much as they had before his internet success.
No subsequent verified public announcement confirming that the couple have welcomed children was identified.
Who Is Fat Perez and How Did He Become Famous?
Nick Stubbe grew up in the Richmond area of Virginia, where golf was an important part of his family life.
He played college golf at Hampden-Sydney College between 2007 and 2009 before continuing his education at the University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University.
He eventually earned an accounting degree and entered the commercial real estate industry.
His nickname originated during a golf match at Hermitage Country Club. A friend compared his appearance and playing style to professional golfer Pat Perez, while another player jokingly called him Fat Perez.
The nickname remained among his friends until he began using it during online gatherings organized by Robby Berger.
Stubbe first appeared in a Bob Does Sports golf video in March 2022. His playing ability and on-camera personality helped him become a regular member of the channel alongside Berger and Joe Demare, known as Joey Coldcuts.
By 2024, the channel had become one of the most-watched golf entertainment platforms on YouTube. Stubbe also participated in the inaugural Creator Classic at East Lake and collaborated with professional golfers, including Bryson DeChambeau.
His growing career has included golf merchandise, appearances at major events and participation in Breezy Invitational tournaments.
As of November 2026, Fat Perez remains publicly identified as Anne Cole Stubbe’s husband. The couple have continued to maintain a private family life, and no verified announcement of a change in their marital status has been reported.
