Rasheda Ali was born in 1970 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, to the prominent professional boxer, Muhammad Ali, and his second wife, Belinda Boyd, also known as Khalilah Camacho Ali. Both of her parents had been married before.

Rasheda has eight siblings and half-siblings, including twin sister Jamillah, Khaliah, Miya, Muhammad Ali Jr, Laila, Hana, Maryum and Asaad. The best advice he received from his father is to stay humble. Because he loved everyone equally, regardless of race and religion, he wanted his children to have the same quality.

In the early 1990s, Rasheda Ali studied at the University of Illinois and graduated with a bachelor's degree in mass communications.

Speaking of her love life, she is married to Bob Walsh, who is a restaurateur and co-owner of a Chicago-based restaurant called Biaggio's Italian Restaurant. The two have been married since 1997 and have two sons, Nico and Biaggio.
