Tyrus Walks Away From the Ring
Choosing Family Over Wrestling
After retiring in 2023, former wrestler and Fox News contributor Tyrus focused on his six children.
“You can always wrestle another match,” he said,
“but you can’t get back that soccer game, that riding competition,
or dinner when they need you.”
A Blended Family
Tyrus has one daughter with his wife Ingrid, three children from previous relationships,
and two stepsons from Ingrid’s earlier marriage.
Reflecting on fatherhood, he said,
“I had three children born in the same year with three different mothers…
it was my job to be there for them.”
Overcoming Challenges
Raised in a turbulent home and foster care, Tyrus vowed, “my kids would never feel like I did…
they’ll always know their dad shows up.”
Custody struggles taught him humility: “Pride has no place in parenting.”
Making Every Moment Count
Tyrus treasures everyday experiences, from horseback competitions to sports debates.
“Championship belts collect dust.
Family memories don’t,” he said, showing that fatherhood now defines his life.
