The Undertaker Is Married to Former WWE Wrestler Michelle McCool: What We Know About Their Family

The Undertaker's wife, Michelle McCool, has cemented her name in the world of wrestling, just as he has. Both are retired from the WWE, and the power couple now have their hands full as parents.

Michelle McCool was a force to be reckoned with in the WWE ring. But the wrestling champion also excels in the family department. McCool is happily married to The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark William Calaway.

McCool, who shares a daughter with The Undertaker, previously opened up about her sacrifices, like setting her feelings aside to support The Undertaker in his goals. But love made it all worth it.

Michelle McCool Is a Former Wrestler Too

The Undertaker was known for his exceptional strength, and so was his wife. Like The Undertaker, Michelle McCool -- real name Michelle Leigh Calaway -- is a retired professional WWE star.

The two-time Divas champion rose to prominence on SmackDown Live. Before entering the exciting wrestling world, McCool was a middle school teacher in Palatka, Florida, US. In addition to being an athlete, McCool also had stints in the acting industry.

McCool and the Undertaker fell heads over heels for each other and tied the knot on June 26, 2010, in Houston, Texas. They soon expanded their family by welcoming their first child, Kaia Faith, in August 2012.

The Undertaker was not the first man who captured McCool's heart. Her marriage to him was her second shot at love. Before Undertaker, McCool formerly married Jeremy Louis Alexander, but they divorced in 2006.

The Couple Shared a Video Showing Their Funny Side

The power couple shows their angst and competitive sides in the ring, but outside of it, The Undertaker and McCool know how to have fun as a married couple and as parents.

McCool recently posted a hilarious video to Instagram in which she and The Undertaker take part in a fun tortilla challenge they discovered on social media.

McCool had seen her husband win and lose many matches in the ring, but she had also seen him suffer terrifying injuries and endure long journeys to recovery.

For the challenge, two people play rock-paper-scissors with mouths full of water. The winner of the game would use a tortilla to hit the loser. McCool revealed how they ended up with the viral game:

"Little late but daughter wanted to do the 'tortilla challenge.'"

In the video, the couple stood in the kitchen, holding water in their mouths. The Undertaker, who looked red while laughing, slapped his wife with a tortilla. McCool could not smack her husband with a tortilla, but she did spit water at him.

Their daughter, Kaia, could be heard giggling in the background as she watched her parents' crazy antics. McCool noted that her husband broke many tortillas in the fun challenge that lasted for six minutes.

She added that the tortilla her husband used to slap her shrank and became thinner over time. She then got hit with her husband's palm, which she hilariously described as a "big ole' bear paw."

Many of McCool's followers were amused to see their favorite wrestler laugh over a silly game. His fun demeanor was a far cry from his WWE persona. "He deserves to let loose. Glad we can see this side of Taker," a fan remarked.

The Couple Reflects on Mark Calaway's Career

McCool reflected on her husband's long wrestling career before he ultimately retired from the combat sport in November 2020. The Undertaker wrestled many opponents in the WWE for three decades.

McCool had seen her husband win and lose many matches in the ring, but she had also seen him suffer terrifying injuries and endure long journeys to recovery.

Even though it was hard, McCool took the risk, but she couldn't help but worry about her husband's situation. "I mean, you're in the ring 300 days a year, so your body's getting beat up," she said.

Despite the risk, McCool said she knew her husband well. Putting her feelings aside, she said that her husband loved everything he did in the ring and that, as his wife, she supported him through it all.
