Tyrus—Fox News mainstay, Gutfeld! co-host, and former pro wrestler—has found himself back in the spotlight, not for his television takes or wrestling history, but for a more personal reason: fatherhood.

Tyrus' 6 Kids: All About the Former Wrestler's Blended Family

A wave of social media posts in April 2025 lit up X (formerly Twitter) with declarations that the 52-year-old, born George Murdoch, had “revealed all” about being a father of six. Claims of late-night parenting, school runs, emotional talks with his daughter Georgie, and a chaotic but loving blended household made rounds online—and fans loved it.

But is the story true? Let’s break it down.

The Viral Buzz: Tyrus, the Family Man?

On April 14, a post that gained over 5,000 reactions declared:
“Tyrus reveals ALL about being a dad of 6! Balancing Fox News & family chaos—love this guy!”

A day later, a YouTube video titled “Tyrus’ RAW Family Story: Father of 6 Spills on TV & Parenting!” claimed the former wrestling star opened up in a new interview—possibly on The Sage Steele Show—about juggling his Fox Nation gig, Gutfeld!, and life with six children.

Hashtags like #TyrusFamily trended, while fans gushed:
“From wrestling to school pickups? Tyrus is the real deal.”

It’s a compelling image: the tough, no-nonsense Fox commentator also playing the role of doting dad, giving fatherly advice while managing a house full of kids. But what’s fact, and what’s fluff?

Tyrus' 6 Kids: All About the Former Wrestler's Blended Family

Let’s Set the Record Straight

Tyrus is a father of six—but there’s more nuance to the story.

Per Yahoo and Distractify, Tyrus shares a daughter, Georgie Rose (born in 2014), with his wife, fitness entrepreneur Ingrid Rinck, whom he married in January 2024 after nearly a decade together. He also has a son and daughter from a previous relationship, as well as two daughters born in 2011. Additionally, he’s a stepfather to Ingrid’s two sons, Rock and Rhett—bringing the count to six children.

That part checks out.

But the supposed 2025 “tell-all” interview? Not quite.

While Tyrus did discuss fatherhood on The Sage Steele Show, the interview aired earlier in the year and lacked the detail fans are buzzing about now. There were no mentions of school drop-offs or bedtime stories. In fact, he’s known for keeping his kids’ lives private, famously saying,
“That’s a story for them to tell.”

According to Snopes, recent viral claims about a “deeply personal” interview appear to be recycled from older material or taken out of context—similar to other recent fan-fueled rumors online.

The Man Behind the Myth

Born in Boston in 1973, Tyrus has overcome a difficult childhood—raised by teenage parents and surviving abuse and instability. He transformed that adversity into a high-profile career, first in the wrestling ring as Brodus Clay, then as an NWA world champion, and finally on cable news.

He joined Fox News in 2016 and currently co-hosts Gutfeld!, which consistently pulls in over 2 million nightly viewers. He also leads Maintaining with Tyrus on Fox Nation and reportedly earns a $2.2 million annual salary, with an estimated net worth of $5 million.

Despite his on-screen bravado, fans are increasingly drawn to his gentler, dad-side. His 2024 comments about trying to “do better” for his kids, especially his bond with Georgie—his namesake—resonated with audiences. She’s often seen horseback riding or traveling with her dad, and Ingrid’s Instagram posts show a tight-knit family life that feels grounded and real.

The Mixed Fan Reactions

The internet loves a personal story—especially when it feels authentic.

Supporters are hooked:
“Tyrus is everything—TV star, tough guy, soft dad. School runs and family talks? I’m all in!”

Others aren’t convinced:
“Where’s the interview? This sounds made-up. Still love Tyrus, but we need receipts.”

Some say the image is exaggerated, cobbled together from bits of old content. Still, the story’s staying power speaks to a cultural appetite for public figures who seem both larger-than-life and surprisingly relatable.

Why It Clicks With Audiences

There’s a reason this narrative blew up:

It’s aspirational: A former pro wrestler turned cable news host raising a big, blended family? It’s the kind of modern “American dad” story that sticks.

It’s grounded: Tyrus’ real-life parenting challenges, combined with his no-BS commentary style, make him feel accessible—even if the finer details are fuzzy.

It reflects curiosity about Fox personalities: As seen with Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt’s private romance or Kat Timpf’s recent projects, fans are increasingly fascinated by what happens off-camera.

The Bottom Line: Mostly True, But Not a 2025 Revelation

Yes—Tyrus is a father to six kids, including stepchildren.
Yes—he’s expressed love for his family and talks openly about trying to be a present dad.
But no—there’s no evidence of a new, in-depth interview where he breaks down school schedules, parenting chaos, or heartfelt conversations with Georgie.

What we have instead is a viral story that builds on truth but spins it with extra flair—fueled by admiration, speculation, and a little social media magic.

So, Is Tyrus the Ultimate TV Dad?

If being a great dad is about presence, effort, and humility, Tyrus makes a strong case. He may not be spilling all the tea on national TV, but he’s quietly raising six kids, working a full-time media career, and maintaining a steady family life. That, in itself, is pretty iconic.

And who knows? Maybe the real deep-dive interview is coming. Until then, the legend of “Tyrus, Superdad” lives on—half truth, half internet myth, but all heart.
