Billy Gunn tied the knot with his first wife, Tina Tinnell, in 1990, five years after making his wrestling debut. A year later, the couple had their first child, Colten. They then had their second son, Austin, in 1994.
Gunn and Tinnell's marriage lasted a little over a decade. They separated in 2000 and finalized their divorce in 2002.
A few years later, the current AEW star fell in love with Paula Sopp. They dated for several years before marrying in 2009. The couple has now been married for 12 years. While Paula keeps a low profile, her husband usually posts photos of them together on his Instagram account.
