Your search ends here; I’ve written this post to share all I’ve gathered about the wrestler’s wife.

From her upbringing and education to her career as a doctor and how she met Drew, I’ll give you all the juicy details!

Early Life and Education

Before her affiliation with WWE star Drew McIntyre, Kaitlyn Frohnapfel had led an everyday life since birth. She was born on 31 December 1991 in Largo, Florida, making her 33 years old in 2024.

Her parents are Richard and Wendy Frohnapfel. She had a lone sister, Ashley, who sadly left us on 18 May 2023 when she was just 33 years old. But no one knows the cause of her death.

Before her passing, Ashley advocated for including people with disabilities in society, following her passion for helping others. She was also a great sister and daughter, and her family was deeply moved by her loss.

Back to Kaitlyn’s education:

She attended Largo High School and later studied medicine at the University of Florida. During her college years, she was quite the athlete, participating and even excelling at track and field events.

But all doctors know that pursuing a professional career in medicine doesn’t leave room for any other activities. That’s why she had to let go of her love for sports and focus on medicine school.

Career Accomplishments

Kaitlyn Frohnapfel

Kaitlyn Frohnapfel has a degree in medicine, and she’s worked as a physician since her graduation.

Of course, it was hard to find specifics of her career (like any companies she’s worked at) because she keeps to herself and doesn’t have a strong presence on social media.

Still, I gathered that, in recent years, she went in the direction of fitness training. Some sources claim she quit her job as a doctor to pursue that path, while others say that she’s currently doing both.

Either way, she’s always inspired fans with her commitment to a healthy lifestyle, which goes perfectly with her new career path.

As for other achievements, I’d like to believe that she’s got awards or certifications throughout her college years or after graduation, being the hard worker she is. But because she’s away from the spotlight, I could only speculate.

Personal Life and Meeting Drew McIntyre

I could only find a little information about Kaitlyn’s religious beliefs or past relationships throughout my research because all the sources focused on her marriage to Drew. So, let me tell you all about how they fell in love with each other!

But first, I’m thankful Drew McIntyre sat down and told that story. Otherwise, all his fans—including yours—would’ve had burning questions about how their relationship started.

According to the WWE star, it all started with the sad event of his mother’s death in 2013, which set things into motion to make him meet his wife. The wrestler was also going through a rough time in his career because of his loss.

In his autobiography, A Chosen Destiny: My Story, he talked about the night he was at a bar in Tampa with WWE superstar Sheamus. That night, Kaitlyn recognized both stars, having seen them in a gym they all frequented.

Back then, she was still a medical student, and her shyness prevented her from making the first move. But luckily, McIntyre asked for her number before the night was over. Little did he know—his fate was forever changed!

Overcoming Hardships with Drew McIntyre

Entering Drew’s spotlight wasn’t without a few challenges, which is natural when you date a celebrity.

The couple moved together in 2014, only for Drew to be fired by the WWE a few days later. According to him, his suspension was justified because he started slacking off, partying, and drinking to drown his issues. He didn’t display the best attitude either.

“I wasn’t giving it my all. I wasn’t being honest with myself and looking at my weak areas where I could improve,” the wrestler commented about this time of his life.

But that’s where Kaitlyn’s integral role in his life kicked in. Together, they formulated a plan that revolved around moving to his home in the U.K., regrouping, and working toward becoming an independent wrestler.

Kaitlyn also helped him with his battle with alcoholism during that time, from which he emerged a winner!

During that time off, the couple officially announced their engagement in 2015 and married the following year. Things started looking better for the WWE superstar, too, as he was hired again by the WWE in 2017 and won the WWE Title in 2020 at Wrestlemania.

Looking at all this now, it’s no wonder that McIntyre always speaks highly of his wife, whether in social media posts or interviews.

From the beginning, she dedicated herself to helping him become the legend he is today. Most importantly, she’s never given up on him despite his struggles and the pressure associated with fame.

A Little Background on Drew McIntyre

Let’s get to know Kaitlyn’s husband, Drew McIntyre, more beyond the screens.

He was born Andrew McLean Galloway IV in Ayr, Scotland, in 1985. The 39-year-old Scotsman is currently a household name in the wrestling world, which he entered back in 2009.

His charisma, charming personality, and talent soon earned him the “Chosen One.” Yet, his success was short-lived, as he was released from WWE in 2014 because of his negligence and attitude.

But what made him a legend was how he turned his life around, re-entering the wrestling world in 2017. With hard work and commitment to his profession, Drew McIntyre dominated the WWE scene again.

Some of his noteworthy titles include:

  • Two WWE Championships
  • Two WWE Raw Tag Team Championships (with Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler)
  • WWE Intercontinental Championship
  • NXT Championship (2017)
  • Slam Award (Male Superstar of the Year)
  • Slam Award (Superstar of the Year)
  • Men’s Royal Rumble Match (2020)

Does Kaitlyn Frohnapfel Have Kids with Drew McIntyre?

Drew McIntyre

No. And neither have any kids from former relationships.

While Drew McIntyre was married for a short while to model, actress, and wrestler Taryn Terrell before meeting Kaitlyn, they didn’t have children together.

But Taryn went on to marry Joseph Dryden, a professional stuntman. They have two kids together: Rhett and Emerson.

Kaitlyn Frohnapfel’s Social Media

Kaitlyn Frohnapfel’s social media presence needs to be improved. She doesn’t have Instagram, X, Facebook, or TikTok accounts.

She prefers to keep her life private, so I guess she has accounts on these platforms, but they’re only shared with her family and close friends.

I can’t say the same for her husband, though. He has millions of followers across X, Instagram, and Facebook. So, if you want to catch up on his and his wife’s news, I encourage you to follow Drew McIntyre on your favorite social network.

Kaitlyn Frohnapfel’s Net Worth in 2024

Kaitlyn Frohnapfel

My estimation of Kaitlyn Frohnapfel’s net worth in 2024 is a wild guess because no one knows her investments and how much she’s made throughout her career.

Different sources claim it’s close to $100,000. She’s been a successful doctor for a while, though, so the number could be higher.

However, mating Drew’s net worth is more accessible since he’s a well-known WWE star. Experts believe it’s somewhere in the $5.5 million range.

Unfortunately, Drew isn’t backed by any brand endorsement deals yet, which could have further boosted that estimated number. I’m sure he’ll take that path sometime in the future with more WWE success.

To Wrap It Up

Kaitlyn Frohnapfel entered the WWE scene almost a decade ago by dating and marrying Drew McIntyre. Like any couple, famous or not, they had their ups and downs, but their relationship survived the challenges of fame.

After reading my post, I hope you’re well-acquainted with Drew McIntyre’s wife. You now know about her childhood and family, education, medical career, and love story with the WWE superstar.

It’ll surely be hard to check her news in the future because she’s not available on any social network. But she makes occasional appearances on Drew’s Instagram, so we’ll be on the lookout for those!
