Who Is Bryce Mitchell’s Wife Erin Handlow? Kids, Family & the Tucker Carlson Connection

Behind every successful man is a woman, as the old saying goes. And this is especially true for UFC fighters. In a sport as dangerous and unpredictable as mixed martial arts, where one can go from being on the summit to hitting rock bottom in one night, it is important to have a good support structure around to ensure one can deal with such setbacks. UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell, who’s gearing up for a fight against Jean Silva at UFC 314, has his support system as well.

Conversely, a lack of such a supporting structure, or a bad support structure, can prove to be disastrous for someone in a profession as uncertain and dangerous as mixed martial arts. On the other hand, they also say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Bryce Mitchell seems to have experienced the fury of a scorned woman just last year. While the American is involved in a loving relationship with his wife, Erin Handlow, he also has an ex-girlfriend, whose conduct in the past has him worried for his life and safety, and that of his wife and animals. But first, let us discuss who his wife is.

Meet Erin Handlow, Bryce Mitchell’s wife

Bryce Mitchell’s wife is named Erin Handlow. She has been working for over a decade in various roles for various companies. Right now, Mitchell’s wife is a marketing specialist at the construction company Commercial Built Construction. Her first job was at an electrical transformer company called Acutran in 2012. Later, Handlow started working for the petroleum company called Superior Petroleum Company, where she worked as a sales associate.

Thereafter, Bryce Mitchell’s wife also worked at the real estate developer Five Mile Development Group as a property manager. After a short stint there, she moved to the food and beer distribution company called Hillcrest Distributing. She moved to her current company, Commercial Built Construction, in 2017. Now that we’ve established who Erin Handlow is, you’d be intrigued to know that she met the UFC featherweight fighter when he appeared on television. Here’s what we know.

How did Erin Handlow and Bryce Mitchell meet?

Bryce Mitchell and Erin Handlow reportedly started dating in August 2022, after his now-wife DM’d him after his first appearance on the Tucker Carlson show. The two soon clicked over their hatred for the government. “I go onto your show, I get millions of views, the most exposure I’ve ever had in my life, and this really good looking woman from Pennsylvania message me on the internet and she says, ‘Hey’, I said, ‘Hey’, we start talking and we bonded over our hatred of the government. And now, that woman is my wife,” he told Carlson in a later interview.

Bryce Mitchell even made their relationship official by announcing to the world that he was dating a sweet, beautiful woman in an Instagram post in August 2022. Interestingly, the UFC fighter did not go public with any of his relationships, and Handlow was the first woman he had dated that he announced to the world, showing just how much he loved her. The duo soon got married. However, there are no concrete details about the exact date of their wedding. Handlow also has a dog named Lou, with whom her partner gets along beautifully, and just last year, they welcomed a new member to their family.

How many kids does Bryce Mitchell have?

Yes, the duo has a beautiful baby boy together. Bryce Mitchell announced the birth of his son, Tucker, in March 2024. Following his birth, the UFC star took to social media to share the happy news, writing an emotional letter for his son and claiming that his son was proof of God’s existence to him. But why? Well, that is because Mitchell never desired to have children and wrote, “God put it on my heart to have a wife and a kid. I never wanted a kid as an atheist because, as an atheist, I saw no value for life other than my own.” The couple named their son after Tucker Carlson, due to the celebrity’s major role in getting them together.

Moreover, Bryce Mitchell’s son could be getting his education within the confines of his house. The 145 lb contender has stressed wanting his son to be home-schooled to avoid getting “corrupted” by the world. “Tucker’s also going to be homeschooled. We’re gonna have to homeschool all our kids, or they’re going to end up turning gay, and that’s the reason I’m gonna homeschool Tucker. I don’t want him to be a communist. I don’t want him to worship Satan, and I don’t want him to be g-y,” Mitchell stated in a video on social media.

But before he had his family of three, Bryce Mitchell was in a different relationship. And as you’ve already guessed, it didn’t go too well, and it even came back to haunt the UFC fighter after it was all over. Let’s take a look at that front. 

Bryce Mitchell’s problems with his ex-girlfriend

Last year, Bryce Mitchell made a troubling revelation on social media. In a social media post, the American revealed that his ex-girlfriend, Kish Jones, allegedly vandalized his home, which left him scared for the safety of his wife. The UFC fighter said that his tattoo artist’s ex visited his home and destroyed his beloved fruit trees that he had been working on for a long time. He was afraid for the safety of his own and his animals’ lives. As a result, he called out to his community of Searcy to help ensure the safety of his wife and animals.

“So I’m outta town for my fight and my coward ex-girlfriend came by my house and vandalized my house yesterday,” Mitchell said in a video. “She destroyed all of my fruit trees. Now, my ex-girlfriend runs a tattoo shop on Booth Street, and for the love of god, if you’re not evil. If you’re not a coward, don’t give her your business. The tattoo shop on Booth Street. The woman that runs that came by my place and destroyed all my fruit trees,” the featherweight said. He further revealed that he had been working on those trees for years, and she came and killed them all.

Mitchell then made the stunning claim that she threatened to kill him, his dogs, and all his animals. Another twist in the tale came when the journalist Amy Kaplan shared a video showing the featherweight breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s house in an attempt to get his dog from her. “I have obtained an old video of a heated exchange between Bryce Mitchell and his ex-girlfriend Kish Jones in which Bryce shatters the glass in her door in an attempt to get his dog. As you might know, Bryce took to Instagram this week to say he was fearful for his life,” Kaplan tweeted.

Clearly, Bryce Mitchell’s personal life was in flux, and the 30-year-old was in a bad spot. However, now it seems like it was all in the past as he has now deleted the videos that he uploaded about his girlfriend. So for now, his only focus would be his fight against Jean Silva this weekend. What do you think? Will he be able to continue his winning ways? Let us know in the comments.
