For years, fans have watched Tyrus—known off-screen as George Murdoch—tower over the set of Fox’s “Gutfeld!” and dominate the wrestling ring. But while the big man is famous for his larger-than-life persona and unfiltered opinions, he’s always kept his personal life under wraps. That changed in January 2024, when Tyrus quietly tied the knot with Ingred Rink, a woman whose story is as inspiring as his own.

So, who is the woman behind the wrestling legend and TV star? And how did she become the perfect match for one of the most dynamic personalities on late-night television? Here’s the story fans have been waiting for.

From Boston Beginnings to Wrestling Fame

Born George Timothy Murdoch in Boston in 1973, Tyrus’s early life was marked by challenges. As a biracial child, he and his brother faced rejection—even from their own family. The experience left a lasting mark, fueling his drive to overcome adversity and succeed against the odds.

Murdoch’s imposing build led him to college football at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where he dreamed of becoming a teacher. But a ruptured appendix and nerve damage ended his football career, leaving him with a limp—and a new determination to find his place in the world.

By the early 2000s, Murdoch had reinvented himself as a professional wrestler, signing with WWE in 2006. Fans first knew him as Giller, a streetwise persona in Deep South Wrestling. Later, he returned to WWE as Brodus Clay—a nod to his days as Snoop Dogg’s bodyguard, and yes, that’s a true story. Clay’s Funkasaurus character, complete with backup dancers and infectious energy, became a fan favorite.

Murdoch’s wrestling journey took him from WWE to Impact Wrestling as Tyrus, and finally to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where he claimed the World Heavyweight Championship in 2022. When he lost the title in 2023, he retired from the ring, closing a chapter that had made him a household name.

The Leap to TV—and a New Chapter

Murdoch’s wrestling fame caught the attention of Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, who invited him onto “The Greg Gutfeld Show” in 2016. The chemistry was instant. Tyrus’s wit and insight made him a regular panelist, eventually earning him the nickname “Gutfeld’s massive sidekick.” He became a fixture on Fox News, contributing to “The Daily Briefing,” “UNPC,” and hosting “Enough Said” on Fox Nation. In 2023, he debuted as host of “Fox News Saturday Night,” and in 2024, launched “Maintaining with Tyrus” on Outkick.

But behind the scenes, Tyrus was quietly building a life with someone equally impressive.

Meet Ingred Rink: Fitness Guru, Entrepreneur, and Supermom

Ingred Rink, born in 1981, is the opposite of her husband in many ways—slim, fit, and fiercely business-minded. Raised in a supportive family, she skipped college to pursue her passion for fitness, earning multiple certifications and teaching classes from the age of 16. Her dedication led to the founding of The Rink Routine, a holistic fitness brand focused on daily habits and well-being.

In 2022, Rink revealed on “Ask Dr. Andrew” that her brand was about more than workouts—it was about living intentionally every day. But by 2023, she announced a rebranding on Instagram, sharing her desire to move beyond the “Rink” name and reconnect with her love of teaching and leading.

Rink’s entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop at fitness. Driven by her son Rock’s diagnosis with type 1 diabetes, she founded Sensible Meals, a meal prep company dedicated to mindful nutrition. Her personal experience became the foundation for a thriving business, helping countless clients achieve healthier lives.

A Family Built on Resilience

Tyrus and Ingred Murdoch are parents to a blended family, including their daughter Georgie Rose, born in 2014. Georgie, who inherited her father’s athletic genes, is a rising star in horse riding and soccer. The family recently moved from Louisiana to New Jersey, where Georgie won her first horse riding competition in June 2024.

Murdoch also has children from previous relationships, including a son affectionately called Kakarot and two daughters born in 2011. Ingred has two sons, Rhett and Rock, whom Tyrus cares for as his own.

Despite their public profiles, both Tyrus and Ingred fiercely protect their children’s privacy. In his autobiography, Tyrus steered clear of sharing details about his kids, saying, “It’s their story to tell.” He’s candid about his own journey as a father, admitting he’s still learning and doing his best to be present. When asked about retirement, Tyrus said the decision was simple: “My kids looked me dead in the face and said, ‘No, we want you at the games.’ And that was the end of that.”

He’s also been open about supporting his child who is part of the LGBT community, emphasizing unconditional love and acceptance.

Through Thick and Thin

The Murdochs’ relationship has weathered storms, including a public lawsuit in 2019. Ingred stood by her husband, later sharing on Instagram, “The trauma my family has endured this past year is too much to even share. But my husband became an even stronger leader for his family.”

Their bond is evident in the way they support each other—whether at events like Mardi Gras, book tours, or concerts. Ingred’s Instagram posts show a family that values togetherness, even when fame makes date nights challenging.

The Zoo at Home—and the Queen Who Runs It

If you think Tyrus’s home is all about sports and TV, think again. The Murdochs have a veritable zoo, with exotic fish, snakes, lizards, turtles, and chameleons. Ingred, who once disliked animals, is now the household’s animal curator, orchestrating everything from rain sounds for the reptiles to delegating pet care among the kids. Tyrus credits her with improving his health and keeping the family’s wild kingdom running smoothly.

Why Fans Love This Story

Tyrus’s marriage to Ingred Rink isn’t just a celebrity headline—it’s a story of resilience, partnership, and growth. Their journey shows that behind the bravado and fame, there’s a family built on love, support, and authenticity.

By focusing on real-life details, positive values, and the couple’s commitment to privacy, this story avoids sensationalism and respects boundaries—helping fans connect with the Murdochs without crossing the line into gossip or speculation.

The Big Man’s Biggest Win

For Tyrus, life has been a series of reinventions—from overcoming childhood adversity, to wrestling stardom, to television fame. But his greatest achievement might be the life he’s built with Ingred Rink—a woman whose strength, compassion, and drive match his own.

As Tyrus said when he announced their engagement, “She is my everything and deserves the world.” And now, as husband and wife, they’re proving that even in the spotlight, it’s possible to keep what matters most close to the heart.
