Behind the high-flying action and roaring crowds of WWE, superstar Jey Uso has built a stable and loving family life with his wife, Takecia Travis. Their story is a testament to lasting love, having grown from teenage sweethearts into a marriage that has weathered over two decades.
The Woman Behind The WWE Superstar
Takecia Travis is the woman who has captured the heart of one of wrestling's most dynamic performers. Originally from Pensacola, Florida, she has intentionally maintained a low profile despite her husband's global fame. While Jey Uso, whose real name is Joshua Samuel Fatu, commands attention in the ring, Takecia focuses her energy on their home and family.
The couple currently resides in the San Francisco area with their two sons, creating a private sanctuary away from the demanding WWE schedule. Takecia has embraced her role as a stay-at-home mother, providing the consistent support system that enables Jey's successful wrestling career.
From School Hallways to Wedding Vows
The foundation of this enduring relationship was laid at Escambia High School in Pensacola, Florida during the early 2000s. Their connection began as friendship while Jey was actively involved in school football. This friendship gradually blossomed into romance, marking the beginning of a partnership that would stand the test of time.
After graduating, their commitment remained strong as they relocated to Alabama while Jey attended the University of Alabama to pursue his football ambitions. After dating for more than ten years, they officially tied the knot on January 8, 2015, in a ceremony that celebrated their long journey together.
The couple's life has involved multiple moves across different states including Florida, Alabama, and Georgia before ultimately settling in their current California home. Through all these transitions, Takecia has been Jey's constant companion and support system.
Building Their Family Legacy
Jey Uso and Takecia are proud parents to two sons named Jaciyah and Jeyce. Their family is completed by three French Bulldogs named Pongo, Mumble, and Jax. In a revealing 2014 interview, Jey spoke candidly about the challenges of balancing his demanding career with family life.
"It's hard, especially for my older son because he understands I'm leaving," Jey admitted. "But when I get time home, it's great. I'll sleep, then we'll go out for sushi, then see a movie. I'm not gonna lie, I'll fall asleep during the movie, but we have a great time."
The wrestling star has frequently expressed how his children serve as inspiration and have shown genuine interest in his profession. During a recent television appearance, Jey shared that his younger son had inquired about following in his footsteps.
"My little one out there, he's like, 'Dad, how old do I have to be to wrestle?'" Jey revealed. "'18. Five more years, me and you are gonna be like Dom and Rey Mysterio.' ... He's so into it. ... If he wanted to, I would let him. ... He's got to be all in."
Family values remain central to Jey's philosophy, as he emphasized during a radio interview: "I want to teach that to my kids – family first over everything. ... It really is family first. ... Take care of your family."
Jey has publicly acknowledged Takecia's crucial role in his success, stating that she prepares him mentally and emotionally every week, a support system that has remained consistent for the past ten years. This enduring partnership, built on friendship, love, and mutual support, continues to thrive away from the spotlight, proving that some of the greatest victories happen outside the wrestling ring.
