Big E Marries Michin’s Sister Kris Yim

Big E is officially off the market. The former WWE Champion, born Ettore Ewen, has married Kris Yim, the sister of WWE Superstar Michin, the two confirmed. The milestone caps a relationship that’s played out steadily over the past couple of years, moving from first date to marriage in relatively quick fashion by wrestling-world standards.

Big E and Yim began dating in April 2024 before getting engaged on May 5, 2025. The pair have since made their union official, with Michin now tied to Big E as an in-law in addition to being a WWE locker-room colleague.

The news adds a nice personal footnote to what’s been a complicated few years for Big E professionally. The former New Day member and one-time WWE Champion has been sidelined since suffering a broken neck in a scary March 2023 incident during a tag match, an injury that required surgery and has kept him out of in-ring action ever since. Despite the layoff, Big E has remained a visible and popular figure around WWE programming, lending his voice to commentary and backstage segments while his recovery continues. He’s been open in the past about the uncertainty surrounding his in-ring future, making it clear that his health and quality of life take precedence over a return timeline.

For Michin, who has built a steady presence on WWE’s main roster after years on the independent and NXT circuits, the wedding brings a close family connection into the fold of a locker room she already calls home. Wrestling marriages and family ties are nothing new in an industry built on tight-knit circles, but this one carries an extra layer given Big E’s stature as a former world champion and beloved presence throughout the company.

There’s no word yet on whether Big E’s in-ring career will ever resume, but for now the focus is squarely on a happy personal milestone rather than a return date. Congratulations are pouring in from fans and peers alike as Big E and Kris Yim begin their married life together, with Michin now officially part of the extended ring family.
