Paul Heyman Family

American professional wrestling manager, former promoter, photographer, and executive Paul Heyman was born on September 11, 1965. He is currently under contract with WWE, where he is making appearances on the SmackDown brand as Roman Reigns' “special counsel” and “wise man.”

In 1986, Heyman made his debut in the world of professional wrestling. From 1993 until its dissolution in 2001, he served as the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion's CEO and was credited as its primary creative force.

Prior to founding ECW, he worked as a manager for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and other promotions under the ring name Paul E. Dangerously. He was personally selected as one of Advertising Age's Top 100 Global Marketers and is a co-owner of the Looking4Larry Agency in New York City.

The Big Show, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns are the six world champions that Heyman has managed or served as manager for in the WWE. His skills in leadership and public speaking have been praised by critics.

Who are Paul Heyman’s parents?

Paul Heyman is the son of renowned lawyer and World War II veteran Richard S. Heyman (1926–2013) and his mother, Sulamita Heyman (1928–2009). Richard is Jewish, and Sulamita endured suffering at Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and the Łódź Ghetto during the Holocaust.

During an interview with Forbes’ Daniel Scott, Paul said:

“Well, I suppose it starts with my parents; my mother was a Holocaust survivor—the toughest woman, actually, the toughest person I’ve ever known.” “My father was a trial attorney, a litigator.” “I was blessed to learn from their two very different styles of approaching all of life’s trials and tribulations.” “On one hand, my mother took on the world, no one and nothing could intimidate her.” “What could she face that compared to what she witnessed, experienced, and survived as a child?”

“On the other hand, I grew up watching my father argue in court, and boy could he argue.” “My father was relentless, and had this sort of reserved rebellion about him.” “I admired many people for their accomplishments, but I had only one hero, and that was my father.”

“It’s where I get my “screw you” attitude from.” “I’m not afraid of a challenge, to disrupt the system, to stand up in a room and saying, "There’s a better way.” “That’s what ECW was all about.” “We took on the two-billion-dollar global giants—WWE and WCW, Vince McMahon and Ted Turner—the ultimate David versus not one but two Goliaths, and we made waves.” “We had a real impact, changed the way the industry presented its product on a worldwide basis, gave rise to the whole “Attitude Era,” but that all started with my mother and father—the survivor and the passionate Bronx advocate.”

Paul Heyman’s Wife

Marla Heyman wed Paul Heyman after engaging in a relationship. The couple has chosen to keep their wedding date and location a secret. Marla Heyman is very guarded about her personal life and steers clear of gossip. It's difficult for the media to focus on her personal life because she doesn't have any social media accounts.

Marla and Paul Heyman's split was kept private, and the real reason behind it is still a mystery. Azalea and Jacob Heyman, two children of her ex-husband Paul, are Americans of mixed heritage. Paul Heyman is currently taking charge of his children's happiness and sharing happy times with them.

Paul Heyman’s Children

With the exception of one post (now deleted) showing his kids in front of the ECW Arena, Paul Heyman rarely uploads photos of his kids to social media. “#HeymanKids at the #ECW Arena @WWE #MITB,” was the caption.

The older child, his daughter Azalea, was born in 2002. As of 2023, she is 21 years old. It's difficult to tell how interested she is in the business side of pro wrestling, though.

The younger of the two children was born in 2004 and is named Jacob Heyman. Little is known about Paul Heyman's son. He is currently 19 years old.
