Wrestling icon and NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion George “Tyrus” Murdoch may dominate in the ring, but when it comes to matters of the heart, his greatest win is at home—with his wife, Ingrid Murdoch.
The couple’s journey began over a decade ago, when sparks first flew between Tyrus and Ingrid. Though they built a life together long before tying the knot, it was in April 2020 that Tyrus surprised his longtime partner with a stunning emerald engagement ring, officially marking the next chapter of their love story. In January 2024, they made it official, saying “I do” after years of partnership, growth, and devotion.
Their daughter, Georgie, was born in May 2014, completing a beautiful blended family that continues to thrive on love and support. Parenthood became another shared passion for the couple, who balance their busy professional lives with family time and personal growth.
Ingrid Murdoch (formerly Rinck) is more than just the woman behind the man—she’s a powerhouse in her own right. With over two decades of experience as a personal trainer, she launched The Rinck Routine, a holistic wellness brand, and founded Sensible Meals, a successful meal prep company promoting healthy, balanced living.
Originally based in Ingrid’s home state of Louisiana, the Murdochs recently began a new chapter, relocating to a serene farm in northern New Jersey in spring 2024—a move that reflects their shared love of nature, wellness, and family life.
So, who is the woman who stole Tyrus’ heart and built a life beside him? From business ventures to parenting wins, here’s everything you need to know about Ingrid Murdoch—and the relationship that’s stood the test of time.
Ingrid Murdoch: Entrepreneur, Wellness Advocate, and the Woman Behind the Brand

Behind the success of wrestling champion and TV personality Tyrus stands a woman with her own powerful story—one of transformation, tenacity, and purpose. Ingrid Murdoch (formerly Rinck) has built a name for herself in the fitness and wellness world, fueled by personal challenges and a deep desire to help others thrive.
Inspired by fitness classes as a teen, Ingrid launched what became a 25-year career as a personal trainer, eventually founding two successful wellness brands: The Rinck Routine—a holistic health and fitness program—and Sensible Meals, a meal prep company built around portion control and balanced eating. A lifelong advocate of healthy living, Ingrid once revealed she lost 150 pounds through mindful eating and exercise, turning her wellness journey into a mission to empower others.
“To me, The [Rinck] Routine is a routine of your day,” she shared during a 2022 appearance on Ask Dr. Drew. “What you do every single day and what you practice is the outcome of your life.”
But in 2024, Ingrid made a bold personal and professional pivot. Announcing a rebrand of her fitness routines, she shared on Instagram that she no longer wanted to be tied to her birth name.
“Don’t ever want to be attached to a Rinck again in life so couldn’t keep building a brand with a name I hated,” she wrote. “Took some time off to pivot and decided I really miss choreographing, teaching, leading … What should I call my workouts now?”
That same spirit of reinvention has shaped much of Ingrid’s career—especially when it came to family. Her foray into nutritional entrepreneurship began when her son Rock, from a previous marriage, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Determined to help him manage his condition, Ingrid created portion-controlled meals to support his health. Soon, friends and acquaintances asked her to do the same for them—and Sensible Meals was born.
“[Friends] saw my success with portion-controlled meals that I created for my son and wanted me to replicate the meals for them,” she told Sophisticated Woman in 2018. “That’s how my business started.”
Now a proud mother of three—Rock, Rhett, and daughter Georgie, whom she shares with Tyrus—Ingrid balances family life with running her businesses and inspiring others. She and Tyrus, who also has at least two children from a previous relationship, have created a blended family rooted in love, support, and ambition.
“I didn’t always have the right tools,” she admitted, “but I have genuine passion and love for what I do and the people I interact with … I want to show my kids that if you have passion and drive, you can do anything.”
From fitness instructor to CEO, mother to motivator, Ingrid Murdoch continues to redefine what it means to lead with purpose—and she’s only just getting started.
Tyrus on Ingrid: “Queen of My Tiny Wild Kingdom”

Tyrus doesn’t shy away from singing his wife’s praises—both in private and on national television. During a 2023 segment on Fox News, the NWA wrestling champ affectionately referred to Ingrid as his “chief of staff, top dog, a number one, and queen of my tiny wild kingdom,” capturing the strength of their bond and the respect he holds for her role in their family and life together.
The moment also offered a peek into the couple’s unique world as they gave viewers a tour of their eclectic collection of exotic reptiles at their former home in Mandeville, Louisiana.
Now living on a farm in New Jersey, the animal-loving duo have expanded their connection to nature. These days, their time is often spent outdoors with their daughter Georgie, a young equestrian whose passion for horseback riding is nurtured by both parents. Whether it’s tending to animals or encouraging their daughter’s dreams, Tyrus and Ingrid continue to build a life grounded in love, respect, and a shared sense of adventure.

Though wrestling star and commentator Tyrus had long referred to Ingrid Murdoch as his wife, the couple officially sealed the deal in 2024. According to Clark County Clerk records, the pair obtained their marriage license on January 6, 2024—marking the formal start of a union that had already been years in the making.
The couple’s journey toward “I do” included a heartfelt moment in April 2020, when Tyrus surprised Ingrid with a stunning emerald and diamond engagement ring. Sharing the moment on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:
“Married for years but officially gave her a real proposal. It’s never too late to make things right! This woman is my everything and she deserves the world—and it’s my honor she chose me.”
That sentiment perfectly reflects the dynamic between the two—a deep, enduring connection built on mutual respect, love, and a life shared through both triumphs and transformation.
Partners in Every Sense: Inside Tyrus and Ingrid Murdoch’s Life On (and Off) the Road
Whether they’re walking red carpets, wrangling reptiles, or managing nationwide tours, Tyrus and Ingrid Murdoch show up for each other—no matter what.
In 2022, Ingrid proudly stood by her husband’s side as he was honored as a King of Mardi Gras by the Krewe of Orpheus, a prestigious New Orleans organization founded by musician Harry Connick Jr. It was one of many public appearances the couple has made together, always radiating a mix of glamor and groundedness.
They’ve also been spotted enjoying rare nights out, like their VIP evening at a Smashing Pumpkins concert in New Orleans, where they were special guests of Tyrus’ longtime friend and frontman Billy Corgan. While the experience was unforgettable, Ingrid joked about the realities of being married to a public figure:
“George probably took 200 pictures with fans,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m glad he has such a huge following, but it makes date nights hard—especially when he’s gone so much for work.”
Despite Tyrus’ demanding schedule, Ingrid doesn’t just support from the sidelines—she’s hands-on. She managed the logistics behind his 2022 book tour for Just Tyrus: A Memoir and is continuing to travel with him for his 2024 nationwide comedy tour, What It Is.
A Wild (and Slightly Reptilian) Kingdom
Behind closed doors, life for the Murdochs is anything but ordinary—especially when it comes to their ever-growing “Tyrus-zilla Zoo,” as Tyrus affectionately calls it. Their home is filled with exotic pets including snakes, chameleons, lizards, turtles, and tropical fish.
While Ingrid wasn’t always an animal lover, she’s fully embraced the role of the household’s behind-the-scenes zookeeper—reluctantly at first, then with full force.
“I strongly disliked animals and reptiles,” she admitted on Fox News in 2023. “I think it was just that I disliked the people more than the animals.”
Still, once the couple parted ways with their professional animal curator, Ingrid stepped up, streamlining the entire operation and even learning how to pipe in thunder and rainfall sounds to encourage breeding—thanks to some online research. “I don’t actually have to do the work,” she joked. “I just boss everyone around and get it done.”
Running the “zoo” is a family affair. Their daughter Georgie plays and bathes the animals, while Ingrid’s son Rhett handles the heavy lifting and less glamorous chores. Rhett’s girlfriend, Julia, keeps tanks and enclosures pristine. It’s a full-blown Murdoch production.
“My husband always underestimates me,” Ingrid said with a smile. “But one thing he should know is that if I’m going to take something over, it’s going to be done right.”
Tyrus couldn’t agree more. “I could not be happier with how my animals are looking and feeling,” he said. “And my mental health is 1,000% better because Ingrid is doing a great job.”
A Team Through It All
Through triumphs, transitions, and everyday chaos, Tyrus and Ingrid continue to show what a true partnership looks like—grounded in mutual respect, shared passions, and a deep love that only strengthens over time.
Standing Strong Together: Love, Loyalty, and Life Through the Storm
Every relationship has its seasons—and for Tyrus and Ingrid Murdoch, the highs have been as memorable as the challenges have been defining.
Throughout their years together, the couple has celebrated everything from personal milestones to professional victories. But they’ve also faced difficult chapters in the public eye, including a 2019 sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Tyrus by his former Fox Nation co-host Britt McHenry. The case was ultimately dismissed with an undisclosed settlement in 2021, but the experience left a mark on the family.
In December 2022, Ingrid offered a rare, heartfelt glimpse into how they coped during that time. Posting a TikTok video of herself and their daughter Georgie enjoying a tropical escape, she wrote:
“The trauma my family has endured this past year is too much to even share. But one thing that happened is my husband became an even stronger leader for his family. Every time he saw me fading, he sent me with our princess to find some magical healing.”
In the clip, she lounges beachside with a copy of Tyrus’ 2023 book, Nuff Said, tucked under her arm—a quiet but powerful symbol of their enduring partnership. She continued:
“The sun, water, and time with your kids can heal so much. Thank you, my love, for always knowing when my wounds are becoming too much to handle—and just how to help me heal.”
Their ability to lean on each other, even in the face of public scrutiny, has only deepened their bond. For Ingrid and Tyrus, it’s not just about surviving the tough times—it’s about growing stronger together through them.
