💍 Behind the Wrestling Legend: Meet Tyrus’ Wife Ingrid Murdoch and Their Unique Family Life
Tyrus, known for his imposing presence in the wrestling ring and his role as a Fox News personality, is a family man at heart. His wife, Ingrid Murdoch, is the powerhouse behind their family, calling the shots in both business and their personal lives.
Although they only made it official in January 2024, Tyrus and Ingrid have been together for over a decade. Their relationship is far from ordinary—combining fitness entrepreneurship, a love for animals, and a blended family dynamic that includes their daughter, Georgie, and their expanded household full of reptiles and exotic creatures.
💪 From Personal Trainer to CEO
Before becoming Mrs. Tyrus, Ingrid made a name for herself in the fitness world. After losing 150 pounds through diet and exercise, she created The Rinck Routine and a healthy meal prep business called Sensible Meals. Her company stemmed from her personal experience, as her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, leading her to create portion-controlled meals to help him manage his condition.
In 2024, Ingrid rebranded herself, publicly cutting ties with her birth name, Rinck, and introducing a new chapter for her business and personal life. “Don’t ever want to be attached to a Rinck again in life,” she wrote on Instagram, marking a significant shift in her journey.
💍 The Surprise Proposal and “Marriage”
Although Tyrus and Ingrid had long referred to each other as husband and wife, Tyrus made it official in April 2020 with a surprise proposal. He presented Ingrid with a stunning emerald and diamond ring, expressing his deep affection for her: “This woman is my everything… It’s never too late to make things right,” he wrote on X.
In January 2024, a decade after they welcomed their daughter Georgie, they legally filed their marriage certificate, officially sealing their union after years of shared life together.
🐍 The Tyrus-zilla Zoo: A Family with a Passion for Reptiles
When it comes to their home life, the Murdoch-Tyrus household is anything but typical. Forget the usual pets—this family has snakes, turtles, lizards, chameleons, and exotic fish. Tyrus lovingly refers to their collection as the “Tyrus-zilla Zoo,” which has grown into a full-fledged operation.
Though Ingrid initially had no interest in animals, she now manages the entire zoo. She even installed thunderstorm sounds at night to encourage breeding among the animals, taking charge and ensuring everything runs smoothly. “If I’m going to take something over, it’s going to be done right,” Ingrid confidently stated.
👨👩👧 Blended Family Life
Together, Tyrus and Ingrid raise a blended family that includes Georgie, Ingrid’s two sons from a previous marriage, and Tyrus’ children from a past relationship. Despite his busy travel schedule, Tyrus always makes time for his family. Ingrid has joined him on various tours, including his 2022 book launch and his upcoming 2024 comedy tour, What It Is.
However, quality time can still be a challenge. Ingrid humorously recounted a date night at a Smashing Pumpkins concert, where their son George took over 200 pictures with fans, making it tough to find intimate moments amidst the chaos.
🌪️ Weathering Public Storms
Like many high-profile couples, Tyrus and Ingrid have faced their share of public challenges. In 2019, a sexual harassment lawsuit was filed against Tyrus by former co-host Britt McHenry, though the case was settled privately in 2021.
In 2022, Ingrid opened up about the emotional toll the experience had on her family, sharing in a TikTok post, “The trauma my family has endured this past year is too much to even share.” She praised Tyrus for becoming an even stronger leader for their family during this difficult period. “My husband became an even stronger leader for his family,” she said, reflecting on their resilience in the face of adversity.
💖 A Unique and Strong Bond
Tyrus and Ingrid’s bond is a testament to their strength as a couple, from overcoming professional challenges to raising a family that thrives together. Their journey, filled with love, business ventures, and unexpected adventures, is a reminder of the power of commitment and family in the face of both public and private struggles.
