The divorce filing

  • The filing states the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and that there are “no prospects for reconciliation” (New York Post)
  • Both parties are living in a “bona fide state of separation,” per court documents (E! News)

Jey Uso and Takecia’s marriage timeline

  • The couple reportedly met in Pensacola, Florida, in the early 2000s (Times of India)
  • Marriage date: February 13, 2014 (per divorce filing) — some earlier reports list 2012
  • Two sons born during the marriage
  • Separation reported in 2024, leading to the 2026 filing
The upshot

Jey Uso is no longer living as a married man. The legal divorce process is underway, and the court will decide custody, support, and property division in the coming months.

The pattern: legal proceedings now define a relationship that once played out in the public eye as a wrestling power couple.

How many kids does Jey Uso have?

Names and ages of Jey Uso’s children

  • Jey Uso and Takecia have two sons
  • Their oldest son, Jeyce, was born in 2012 (TMZ)

  • Jey Uso has not publicly commented on custody or his relationship with his sons
What to watch

Jey Uso faces the prospect of reduced parenting time if the court grants primary custody to Takecia. His WWE travel schedule could complicate shared custody arrangements.

The implication: fatherhood continues amid career demands, a balancing act familiar to many touring performers.

Who is the father of Naomi’s baby?

Naomi’s relationship with Jimmy Uso

  • Naomi (real name Trinity Fatu) is married to Jimmy Uso (Wikipedia)

Does Jacob Fatu have 7 children?

Jacob Fatu’s family size

  • Jacob Fatu, a MLW and WWE wrestler, claimed in a viral TikTok that he has 7 children (TikTok (viral clip))
  • He is a cousin of Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso (Wikipedia)
  • No independent verification of the exact number of children has been published

Jacob Fatu’s viral quote

“I got 7 kids. That ain’t nothing. I’m a young king.”

— Jacob Fatu in a TikTok video (via The Sun (UK tabloid))

The pattern: Jacob Fatu leans into a larger-than-life persona, consistent with the Anoa’i family’s theatrical wrestling tradition.

Who left WWE to do OnlyFans?

Mandy Rose’s departure from WWE

  • Mandy Rose was released by WWE in December 2022 after she started a paid subscription site (Fox News)
  • She has since built a successful OnlyFans business, reportedly earning millions
  • Other WWE alumni like Renee Paquette have also used OnlyFans, but not as a primary income source

Other WWE alumni on OnlyFans

  • Several former WWE wrestlers have launched OnlyFans accounts, including Tye Dillinger and Chelsea Green (briefly)
  • The trend is notable but not widespread; most wrestlers remain in traditional media
Bottom line: Mandy Rose’s move to OnlyFans is an outlier, not a trend. Jey Uso has no connection to the platform.

The catch: this detour into OnlyFans illustrates how wrestlers are diversifying income streams, but it has no bearing on Jey Uso’s situation.

For Jey Uso, the personal and professional are colliding in a way that will define the next phase of his career.
