Fox News Personality Tyrus Opens Up About Life Off-Camera—Balancing Fame, Fatherhood, and the Hustle of Raising Six Kids in a Blended Household**
Tyrus, known for his bold presence on Fox News and his former career as a professional wrestler, is sharing an intimate look into his life as a father. With six children in a blended family, Tyrus opens up about the challenges and rewards of managing a demanding media career alongside his biggest role yet—being a dad. From school drop-offs to meaningful conversations with his daughter, he offers an honest perspective on modern parenting.
Tyrus and his wife, Ingrid Rinck, made a public appearance with their children at the 2024 FOX Nation Patriot Awards in New York, offering a rare family glimpse into their lives.
The former wrestling star, whose real name is George Murdoch, has shifted his focus from the ring to raising his family. He and Ingrid share a daughter, Georgie, born in 2014. Tyrus also has three children from previous relationships, while Ingrid has two sons from a past marriage, making their home a lively blended household.
In a 2024 interview on *The Sage Steele Show*, Tyrus revealed that his three oldest kids—each born in 2011—have different mothers. Reflecting on this, he admitted that it required quick maturity and responsibility. “You have to step up,” he said. “All my kids are taken care of—they’re fed, they have shelter, and they can pursue any activity they want.”
In his 2023 book *Nuff Said*, Tyrus kept details of his children private but emphasized the importance of values like respect. “Parenting is hard. I work to be the best dad I can be, even if I don’t always get it right,” he wrote.
Tyrus and Ingrid’s daughter, Georgie Rose, was named in honor of her father. She was raised in Louisiana before the family relocated to New Jersey in 2024. Georgie has taken after her dad’s drive and competitive nature, excelling in horse riding and soccer. After breaking her arm during a game in 2024, she still finished the match—showing her determination.
His other children are athletic too. One of his sons plays travel baseball, and family outings often include activities like golf. The Murdochs now live on a farm in New Jersey, where the kids help care for various animals—including turtles, snakes, and exotic fish. Tyrus jokingly calls their home “Tyrus-zilla Zoo.”
While Tyrus enjoys taking his kids to events and even brings them along to his shows or TV tapings, he says when he’s home, it’s all about being dad. “When I’m with them, it’s their time,” he said.
He made the decision to retire from wrestling in 2023—not because of injuries—but because he didn’t want to miss out on important moments in his children’s lives. “I asked them if they preferred me wrestling or being at their games, and they chose the games,” he said.
In a 2024 *Piers Morgan Uncensored* interview, Tyrus opened up about one of his children being part of the LGBTQ+ community and shared his commitment to unconditional support. “Whatever they decide when they’re old enough, I’ll be there,” he said.
He also believes in teaching his kids through life’s lessons. Speaking with Sage Steele, he said his proudest moments are when his children learn important lessons faster than he did. While he jokes that his daughters are “too smart” and sarcastic, it’s clear he admires their intellect.
Tyrus has shared touching moments online, like a video of his son proudly looking for his book *Just Tyrus* in a store, a gesture that moved him to tears. “Even though we don’t see each other every day, the love is always there,” he wrote.
