AEW star Jon Moxley is a proud father and recently stated that fatherhood changed his outlook on his life.
Renee Paquette and Jon Moxley are the proud parents of baby girl, Nora. Among the most beloved couples in pro wrestling are Mox and Paquette. Back in the day, Jon worked as a wrestler in WWE, while Renee was a host, interviewer, and commentator for the promotion.
This is how the two initially got together and on April 9, 2017, the pair finally tied the knot in a private ceremony held at their residence. It was said to be an unplanned wedding.
Paquette and Moxley would welcome their first child, Nora on June 15, 2021.
It is needless to mention that a person’s life might drastically alter for good after having a baby. After becoming parents, they would want to set an example for their kids and that’s how being a father, Jon Moxley’s outlook towards life changed.
Jon Moxley talks about fatherhood
Speaking with
Bleacher Report, Moxley said that having a daughter with Renee Paquette gave him a greater appreciation for both life and pro wrestling. The former AEW World Champion is trying to set an example for her daughter in everything that he’s currently doing. Mox said:
“By the time I had a kid, I was already a veteran of this. I was already paying the price physically for a lot of the s–t I did in my younger years. I was already at the stage where I was telling younger kids ‘You might not have to do that move every single night because you’re going to pay for it in 10 years.’ I already became the kind of guy who was aware of my own mortality by the time I had a child, so it really didn’t change anything. If anything, it made me appreciate it more and want to do a better job.
“Now everything I’m doing, I’m setting an example. I have a lot of young people that I coach and people that I work with, and I got young kids in Cincinnati I teach wrestling to. I’ve got a lot of people that are looking at me, so if I go out there and don’t work hard or take anything for granted or don’t take the kind of advice I would give to my daughter, if whatever I would tell her doesn’t match up with what I did, there would be a problem there.
“If anything [fatherhood] just made me appreciate life more and made me want to do this for as long as I can. I don’t know if she will ever get to watch me do it live and in person. She’s two and a half. When I look at some of my main rivals like Chris Jericho and Minoru Suzuki, they’re still going hard and still at the top of their game, so I think I’ve got a lot of years left. I don’t plan on ever retiring. At some point, I will just get too old to do it.”
