Tamyra Mensah-Stock has just been announced as WWE's newest recruit for this year. The Olympic gold medalist has already created a legendary career in amateur wrestling and has made history by becoming the first black woman to win gold in freestyle wrestling. While she continued to take on new opportunities, her husband remained supportive of her growing career.
Jacob Stock is a former American wrestler and has been married to the Olympic athlete since 2016. He was born on July 9, 1993, with not much known about his parents or family. Tamyra Mensah-Stock has maintained a low profile in regard to her personal life, which extends to her husband. It was reported by Buzz South Africa that Jacob has been very supportive of her wrestling career from the beginning.
The two met while wrestling together at Morton Ranch High School and Wayland Baptist University. While his singles career did not catapult him to international fame, he was captain of the WBU Men's Wrestling team. Coming from a similar background, Jacob was familiar with what was required of Tamyra to become a professional athlete.
