WWE's Jey Uso, Wife Takecia Fatu Break Up After 12 Years of Marriage

Jack White’s Wife Olivia Jean Files for Divorce Over "Inappropriate Marital Conduct"

Jey Uso will be solo in the ring.

The WWE star’s wife Takecia Fatu filed for divorce in Fayette County, Ga., on June 24, according to court documents obtained by E! News. The filing, which revealed they'd tied the knot on Feb. 13, 2014, noted they have been “living in a bona fide state of separation.”

According to the docs, Takecia filed on the grounds that “the marriage is irretrievably broken” and “there are no prospects for reconciliation.”

The former couple share son Jaciyah, who is over 18, and son Jeyce, who was born in 2012. Takecia asked for primary physical custody of Jeyce according to the divorce filing, and also requested a parenting plan that was in the best interest of their son.

Beyond custody arrangements, in the filing she also requested exclusive use and possession of their home in Georgia and that her and the wrestler’s assets be equally divided by the court. She also requested child and spousal support as well as attorney fees.

E! News has reached out to Jey’s reps at the WWE for comment but has not heard back.

Jey—real name Joshua Samuel Fatu—is the son of Hall of Fame wrestler Rikishi and wrestles as a member of The Usos along with his twin brother Jimmy Uso.

He and Takecia were high school sweethearts, meeting in the 9th grade at Escambia High School in Pensacola, Fla. She also joined him in Alabama where Uso, 40, attended the University of West Alabama for football. However, he decided to join the family wrestling industry, making his professional debut in 2007 with his brother.

Throughout their relationship, Takecia has done her best to stay out of the spotlight, rarely choosing to be in the public eye with her husband.

Still, Jey—who recently hinted at a new romance—occasionally shared insight into their relationship, with him emphasizing they were each other’s no. 1 fans in life.

“My wife is more than my tag partner, she’s my life partner,” Jey told Sports Illustrated in 2020. “I have so much love and respect for her in my heart.”

“She catches the good and the bad, all the hurt and grumpiness of this business and life,” he continued. “But she gets me ready for this, every single week, and she has for the past 10 years. We’ve sacrificed together. All my success is her success, too. We’ve done this together.”
