As Tyler Reddick preps for what could be the defining season of his NASCAR career, the 23XI Racing ace has had an offseason to remember. With his eyes firmly set on a 2025 championship bid after an impressive fourth-place finish last year, Reddick has hardly been short of headlines. But while his on-track exploits keep him in the spotlight, it was his wife Alexa’s razor-sharp humor that stole the show recently.

The trigger? Tyler’s appearance at the Flight Risk premiere, where the NASCAR star swapped his firesuit for a more casual fit. What followed was a lighthearted moment of public banter that only Alexa could deliver—and it was all captured in just three cheeky words.

Reddick was rubbing shoulders with Hollywood’s elite at the premiere of Flight Risk, a high-stakes action-thriller directed by Mel Gibson and starring Mark Wahlberg. The plot revolves around a U.S. Marshal escorting a government witness through Alaska, only to uncover that their pilot might have his own deadly agenda. While the movie’s storyline kept audiences guessing, it was Tyler’s Instagram post from the event that sparked the most chatter.

Sharing a photo of himself looking dapper on the red carpet, Reddick kept his caption simple: “Great night at the Flight Risk premiere. Thank you for having me!” Fans were quick to jump in with compliments for the No. 45 driver, applauding his sharp look. But it was Alexa’s comment that turned heads: “Cut yr hair.”

Short, sharp, and hilarious, the three-word remark immediately became a talking point among fans. While Tyler’s longer locks have been divisive, Alexa’s witty critique brought the house down. It was classic Alexa—playful, down-to-earth, and not afraid to keep her husband humble, even on a big night. Of course, Alexa’s humor is just one part of what makes the Reddick family so entertaining. Tyler and Alexa tied the knot in July 2024, capping off a whirlwind year of milestones. Since then, their social media feeds have been a steady stream of racing updates, family moments, and plenty of laughs.

But it’s not just about the humans in the Reddick household. The couple’s three cats—Tux, Mila, and Winnie—are as much a part of the family as anyone. Each cat has its own distinct personality, with Tyler often sharing stories about their antics. Tux, the eldest, is perpetually grumpy. Mila is the household’s wild queen bee, while Winnie, the newest addition, has earned her keep as the resident pest controller.

“She’s really sweet to my kids, and she took care of all the mice and snakes around the house,” Tyler Reddick once said of Winnie. “Felt like she earned her place.” And let’s be honest—what’s not to love about a NASCAR star who has a soft spot for strays? Alexa once poked fun at his affection for animals, posting, “Me trying to convince the stray outside my house to come inside with me” and tagging Tyler, writing, “This is my husband.”

As if a trio of cats and a high-profile career weren’t enough, Tyler Reddick and Alexa are also preparing for the arrival of their second child. Beau, the couple’s firstborn, has been a regular at the track since he was born in 2019, often cheering his dad on from pit road. Now, Beau is set to become a big brother, with Baby Reddick #2 expected to arrive in June 2025.

Life in the Reddick household

Alexa announced the happy news on Instagram with a heartwarming post: “A new year and a new family member is coming to the Reddick household! Baby #2 is arriving in June!” The couple’s fans have been showering them with congratulations ever since, and many have noted that 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the family.

For Tyler, 2025 is poised to be a balancing act like no other. Fresh off a stellar second season with 23XI Racing, which saw him clinch a dramatic win in Miami and secure a Championship 4 spot, Reddick is already a favorite heading into the new season. With 23XI Racing riding high, expectations are through the roof. But as any parent will tell you, balancing a growing family with a demanding career is no easy feat. Between late nights at home and high-speed Sundays at the track, Tyler has his work cut out for him. Luckily, he has Alexa by his side—keeping him grounded and, when needed, reminding him to book a haircut.

So while Reddick chases glory in the Cup Series this year, one thing’s for sure: his biggest fans—and critics—will always be at home, cheering him on.
