#5. AEW's Powerhouse Hobbs has a wife and three kids

Powerhouse Hobbs competed on the independent circuit for over a decade before joining AEW. The wrestler believes he has found a home in AEW and is looking to reach the top of the company with the help of Taz.

Hobbs appeared on the AEW Unrestricted podcast to talk about different things. He spoke about his family and three children. Hobbs revealed that he has two sons and a daughter.

In a recent interview on Talk Is Jericho, Hobbs discussed his brother’s passing several years ago.

“We were tight. He wanted to be in the wrestling business and wanted to be my manager. He was a tall, lanky dude, like Slick. He can talk. We always said he could sell an Eskimo snow. He had that type of game. Just got into the wrong crowd and ended up not doing what you’re supposed to do. He ended up getting shot, and I ended up getting hit in the forearm getting shoved out of the way...I was 22 at the time. It’s a shared dream with him and my grandparents. It’s been 10 years, and it still hurts.”

Hobbs thinks that his sons share a bond as strong as he and his brother did.

“There’s no second-guessing anything. I have kids; I have an older son. I look at him and my younger son and how tight they are. It reminds me so much of me and my brother. Everything I do is for them. I’ve got so many people depending on me, and I feel like I have my city depending on him. I can’t let people down. I refuse to, and it just reminds me so much of everything I have to accomplish.”

He further spoke about how the late Brodie Lee used to talk to him about family and children. The two had a good bond before Lee passed away late last year.

#4. AEW giant Paul Wight has three children from two marriages

Paul Wight (fka The Big Show) is in big rivalries in AEW. The former WWE star was with the company for over two decades before deciding to make the switch.

Wight is in the twilight of his career, and he could retire from the ring to spend some more time with his family. The AEW star married his first wife, Melissa Ann Piavis, in February 1997. The two divorced in February 2002.

Soon after their divorce, Wight married Bess Katramados in February 2002. The AEW giant has one daughter with his first wife and two children with his second wife.

His first daughter, Cierra Wight, was born on October 2, 1997, in Florida. She aspires to become a wrestler and actress. Wight has two children from his second marriage. However, not much is known about them as Wight prefers to keep his life outside the wrestling ring private.

Before joining AEW, Wight starred in the Netflix sitcom The Big Show Show where he played the lead character. The sitcom highlighted the softer side of the big man outside the ring.

#3. Legendary AEW star Sting has three children from two marriages

AEW star Sting is doing an extremely good job at giving Darby Allin a big push. Allin is making his way through AEW with Sting by his side. The two have formed a great partnership, and Sting is proving to be a great father figure for young Darby.

Outside the ring, the 62-year-old wrestler has three children from two marriages. Sting married his first wife, Sue Borden, in 1986. They have two sons, Garrett Lee and Steven, Jr., and a daughter named Gracie, who was born in 2000.

Sting and Sue divorced in 2010 after 24 years of marriage. Five years later, Sting married Sabine. The couple have one child together. Sting has spoken about how his life went downhill late in his career during an interview with Daily News.

He revealed that it played a major role in his wife leaving him. He has tried to change himself and be there for his family ever since.

“I mean, there was a time where everyone knew who I was, and I had so much influence over so many people that I was on a power trip. My life has changed. Now I put my family first. I’m a husband and a father, which is the way things are supposed to be.”

Sting is fighting his final battles in the ring in AEW. The legend has done it all and he will be remembered as one of the greatest of all time.

#2. Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho has three children

Fans of former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho are aware of his family life. Jericho has spoken about his family on a few occasions during his career. His children have also appeared on his podcast Talk is Jericho a few times.

Jericho married Jessica Lockhart on July 30, 2000. According to the AEW star, the two met through WCW wrestler Disco Inferno in Tampa, Florida. Jericho was performing for the company at the time.

Jessica gave birth to their son Ash Edward Irvine in 2003. The couple had identical twin daughters Sierra Loretta "SiSi" Irvine and Cheyenne Lee "Chey" Irvine in 2006.

All three of Jericho’s children have been guests on his podcasts where they’ve discussed different topics. In an interview, Y2J spoke about his life as a dad.

“When I’m at home, I’m dad,” he said. “I don’t have a lot of friends in Tampa, not that I don’t want friends, but I don’t have time. I want to do all family stuff all the time.”

The former AEW World Champion also revealed that his children don’t like wrestling. He believes his kids don’t like seeing their father get beat up.

“I don’t think they like wrestling because they don’t like seeing me getting beat up, and they don’t like when I lose,” Jericho said. “Which, especially as a bad guy, is always.”

Jericho still has a few years of wrestling left in him. He is a genius inside and outside the ring, and the higher-ups in AEW see him as a great asset for the company.
