Now that wrestling champion George “Tyrus” Murdoch is out of the ring, he is focused on his family.

The WWE alum and his wife, Ingrid Murdoch, have one child together, a daughter named Georgie, whom they welcomed in 2014. Tyrus also has three children from previous relationships, two daughters and a son. He is also involved in the lives of Murdoch’s two older sons, Rhett and Rock.

In 2024, Tyrus shared on The Sage Steele Show that his three oldest children, all born in 2011, have three different mothers.

“The reality of having children in that way is that you need to figure it out real quick, and you need to make a decision as to where you’re gonna man up and take on this responsibility,” Tyrus said, adding, “Now, all my children’s bellies are always full, they all have roofs over their heads, they all can [do] any activity they want to do.”

Who Is Tyrus’ Wife? All About Ingrid Murdoch

In his 2023 book Nuff Said, Tyrus wrote that he keeps his life with his kids private, but he still believes in sharing his parenting values, the first of which is respect.

“Parenting is tough. We all know that. I always work hard to be the best dad I can be, but, of course, I fail sometimes,” he wrote. “We all do. But we try as hard as we can.”

Here’s everything to know about Tyrus’ children.

Tyrus and his wife, Ingrid, welcomed their daughter, Georgie Rose, on May 7, 2014.

She was named after her dad, a nod that Ingrid talked about in a 2024 Instagram tribute. “Who would have thought that the one that carries on the fathers [sic] name would be a daughter ❤️ #murdoch #georgiegirl,” she wrote.

Georgie was raised in her mom’s home state of Louisiana until the family moved to New Jersey in 2024.

In addition to Georgie, Ingrid has two children from a previous marriage, sons Rhett and Rock, while Tyrus has three children from three previous relationships.

Tyrus’ three oldest kids all turned 13 in 2024. His son, whom he calls Kakerot on Instagram, was born on Aug. 24, 2011, while his daughters were born in June and December of the same year.

The Fox News host usually likes to remain private about his children’s lives and shared on The Sage Steele Show that he doesn’t write about his kids in his books “because that’s a story for them to tell.”

While they joke about their similar ages now, Tyrus knows they may have “questions” and “angers” later on, which is when he’ll explain, “I didn’t have parenting, which is not an excuse, I made my own choices, but I didn’t have wisdom to fall back on and I was impulsive.”

The Nuff Said author said he regularly visits his children and has acknowledged that saying goodbye is difficult.

“Being a real father with no reference is one of the toughest challenges and greatest rewards,” he captioned a 2021 Instagram selfie with two of his older kids. “To all my fellow dads out there who don’t get to see your kids everyday. Dropping them off is the hardest thing in the world. I’m fighting back tears because I miss them all my children.”
