MJF marriage – MJF opened up about his marriage to Alicia Atout, admitting he knew she was “the one” after their first date, while acknowledging the couple still hasn’t taken their honeymoon. The remarks add another layer to his ongoing personal—yet kayfabe-friendly—romance
Maxwell Jacob Friedman didn’t just talk about marriage. He described the moment he decided his life was going to change.
In a recent interview with TV Insider. MJF looked back to his first date with Alicia Atout and said he immediately felt the difference. “I knew she was the one when I took her out on the first date. ” he said. adding that people kept noticing them “left and right” and that. while he told everyone to “kick rocks. ” Atout “didn’t seem deterred.”.
MJF and Atout married last year in September 2025, after dating for almost two years that began in 2023. They’ve often shared glimpses of their relationship on social media. and his latest comments lean into the same theme: affection that’s plainly real. even as he continues to live in a profession built on performance.
“The dynamic is great,” he said. “I can sleep with her whenever I want.” He also painted a picture of their day-to-day life. describing “a gigantic house with a massive pool. ” along with a “beautiful dog and beautiful cat.” From his tone to his details. it’s the kind of certainty that doesn’t read like a rehearsed promo—it reads like a man comfortable enough to be specific.
He offered another reason for that comfort: Atout’s long familiarity with the wrestling world. “She has been interviewing people since she was 13. ” MJF said. calling her someone who isn’t a stranger to the business. He added that she has still managed “to be in this business and not want to be a professional wrestler. ” even though he admitted he’s dated professional wrestlers before and said. “it wasn’t for me.”.
Pride for her work came through just as clearly. MJF said he’s “very proud” of Atout for the grind she put in to leave Canada’s “cesspool” behind. He also described seeing her introduce major names on AEW’s Dynamite and Collision. calling her the “Interview Queen” “for a reason” and saying she’s “very good at her job.”.
Then there’s the running gag. Despite getting married several months ago, MJF and Atout have yet to go on their honeymoon. The delay has been turned into a social media joke that fits his character perfectly: even in personal milestones, he can’t resist letting the audience wait for the punchline.
That personal comedy now sits beside his next big in-ring commitment. MJF is next scheduled to face Darby Allin in a title vs. hair match at Double or Nothing.
