It had been about a year since he and Batsukh tied the knot when he brought her on the show. Shortly before, their son, Kunzang, was born. Seagal shared that he always brought his wife and son with him whenever he worked in Jefferson Parish.

"I have six children, and I love all my kids more than anything in the world. Kunzang is the latest edition, and he's the light of my life. He's getting big and strong," he said. He revealed he met Batsukh in the early 2000s while trying to raise money for a Genghis Khan film. She was also his assistant for five years.

Erdenetuya Batsukh's Sweet Messages for Her Husband

Batsukh doesn't appear to have any personal social media accounts; however, she can often be seen on Seagal's, which also seem to be managed by a third party. On his birthday in April 2017, a birthday tribute was shared on her behalf.

"A message to Steven from Stevens, wife Elle: You are the Sunshine of life, Moonshine of my dreams, Soothing song to my heart, Sizzling fire to my mind," the caption read. The following year, another birthday message was posted on Batsukh's behalf.

"My darling husband, I couldn't be more proud of you today for having lived such [a] wonderful life where you have achieved and accomplished so much in just one lifetime, and you did it all with honor, love, and truthfulness!" the message read.
