The Miz Shares How His Wife Maryse & 2 Kids Are His True Champions

Mike ‘The Miz’ Mizanin Calls His Wife Maryse His “Biggest Cheerleader”

Michael "The Miz" Mizanin knows his real world wouldn't be the same without his family.

The WWE star shouted out his wife Maryse Mizanin and daughters Monroe Sky, 8, and Madison Jade, 6, for being his biggest cheerleader—even outside of the ring.

"My wife, 100 percent," The Miz told USA Sports' Renee Montgomery at the 2026 ESPY Awards in New York on July 15. "You might remember her from Miz & Mrs. or the two-time Divas Champion in WWE, but man, she is my champion at home." 

As for his little girls, The Miz added, "They keep me going. They make me do greater things than I ever thought I could ever do." (See all the celebs at the ESPYS here.)

The wrestler—who tied the knot with Maryse in the Bahamas in 2014—has previously shared how his daughters changed his outlook on life.

"I was always like, 'I want a boy. I want a boy I want a boy,'" he told E!'s Daily Pop in 2020. "But having two little girls, I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't need a boy."

"I love Monroe and Madison. They're incredible [and] they keep me young, I'll tell you that for one thing," the 45-year-old added. "They have an immense amount of energy."
