Morty Coyle, a Hollywood-based DJ, singer-songwriter, and actor, has continued to build a creative life on his own terms following his high-profile split from actress Jodie Sweetin in 2016. The couple, who married in March 2012, share joint custody of their daughter, Beatrix Carlin Sweetin-Coyle, born on 31 August 2010. Coyle remains active as a performer, recording artist, and co-parent, with his estimated net worth ranging between $400,000 and $500,000, according to various entertainment sources.

Early Life and Path to Hollywood

Morty Coyle was born on 7 December 1968 in Las Vegas, Nevada, making him 58 years old as of 2026. He grew up in a city known for its live shows and nightlife, with his mother listed as Yvette Ocampo. His professional career began in the mid-1990s, performing in clubs, at private events, and on television. He currently holds membership in SAG-AFTRA and has served as general manager of Table Manners Management.

Coyle's career has been marked by versatility, including composing music for films and commercials. His work spans both commercial and mainstream music projects, establishing him as a multifaceted figure in the entertainment industry.

Music Career: All Day Sucker, The F.O.C.K.R.s, and DJ Work

Coyle is best known as the lead singer and songwriter of the power-pop band All Day Sucker, which he co-founded with Jordan Summers during high school. The band, previously known as The iMPOSTERS, released several albums on independent labels from the late 1990s through the 2010s, including November Bombs (1999), Get High (2004), Home (2008), and Denim Days (2015).

The band held residencies at notable venues such as the Viper Room, Opium Den, and Sunset Social Club. They also helped transform Canter's Kibitz Room into a Tuesday-night institution, where acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Navarro, and Slash performed. Coyle has also contributed to tribute compilations, including a 50th anniversary tribute to Paul and Linda McCartney's Ram.

As a DJ, Coyle performs under the name DJ Morty Coyle, with a long-running career that includes residencies at Hollywood clubs and private events. His high-profile gigs include parties for Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Kirsten Dunst's birthday, a Marilyn Manson event at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, birthday celebrations for Paris Hilton, and a holiday party for Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

In addition to All Day Sucker, Coyle performs with The F.O.C.K.R.s, who hold live shows at The Kibitz Room and post videos on their YouTube channel. He has also been associated with the band FF5.

Relationship with Jodie Sweetin and Divorce

Morty Coyle and Jodie Sweetin's relationship moved quickly. In 2010, Sweetin and Coyle had a daughter, Beatrix. Coyle proposed at Sweetin's birthday party in January 2011, and they married on 15 March 2012 in Beverly Hills, keeping the marriage secret until after their one-year anniversary.

At the time of their engagement, Sweetin described Coyle as "wonderful and fantastic," adding, "I don't think anything in the world could be better than what I have." However, Sweetin filed for legal separation in June 2013, citing irreconcilable differences, and the divorce was finalised in September 2016.

Court documents obtained by People show that Sweetin and Coyle share joint legal and physical custody of Beatrix. The custody agreement includes provisions that each parent can request the other to submit to a hair follicle drug test with 12 hours' notice and that Beatrix "shall only be driven by a sober driver."

Child Support and Co-Parenting

No child support was ordered when the divorce was finalised in 2016. However, in December 2017, after Coyle petitioned the court, a judge ordered Sweetin to pay him $2,800 a month, citing her increased earnings from Fuller House. Sweetin later asked the court to reduce the payments in 2021, saying her income had dropped after the show ended.

Speaking to Us Weekly about the split, Coyle pointed fans towards his work rather than rehashing personal matters: "I wish Jodie all she wants out of life. Just like with Cody we'll all always be co-parents to those precious, loved girls and that's our unorthodox but supportive family forever. Listen to All Day Sucker's new album Denim Days for anything else you may want to know. No hard feelings."

Daughter Beatrix and Family Life

Beatrix Carlin Sweetin-Coyle was born on 31 August 2010. She was named after The Beatles, while her middle name, Carlin, was chosen in honour of comedian George Carlin. Beatrix appeared as an extra in one episode of Fuller House. In a June 2025 interview, Sweetin shared that Beatrix is "an incredible singer," adding, "My younger one has the performance bug for sure. She's in a performing arts school."

Morty maintains a dedicated Instagram account, @BeaAndDaddyCarTunes, where he posts videos of himself and Beatrix singing along to songs in his car. The account, under the hashtag #SingWithYourKids, remains an active showcase of their music-filled bond. His primary Instagram account, @djmortycoyle, is set to private and lists over 5,146 posts with 1,832 followers.

Sweetin also shares joint custody of her elder daughter, Zoie, with ex-husband Cody Herpin. In summer 2026, Sweetin celebrated Zoie's high school graduation, while Beatrix turned 16 in August. Sweetin told People in August 2024 that her daughters had grown closer: "I think now that they're both through the awkward middle school stage, I feel like they're coming through and finding each other as friends again."

Current Activities and Net Worth

Morty Coyle keeps a relatively low public profile, channelling most of his visible energy into music and co-parenting. As recently as November 2024, he was active on X (formerly Twitter), promoting local DJ events in Hollywood. His estimated net worth, built through DJ work, band performances, composing, and acting, is between $400,000 and $500,000, according to various entertainment sources.
