Despite all of these posts, false claims, and rumors, the truth differs from it.
Austin Kirk Jenkins, a.k.a. Adam Cole, was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on July 5, 1989, and is 35 years old.
Although his parents’ names have not been revealed, he was born to loving and supportive parents. Adam’s parents separated in 1999 when he was 10 years old.
Adam and his brother were raised by their single mother, with whom they are very close.
Whereas, Michael Cole (actual name Sean Michael Coulthard) born on December 8, 1966 in Syracuse, New York, United States has been married to Yolanda since 1987 and has two sons.
Despite sharing the same stage name, “Cole,” which appears to be a coincidence, their true names and stories are entirely different, debunking the falsehood that Adam is Michael’s son.

- Adam is in a relationship with Britt Baker, an AEW professional wrestler and dentist.
- Michael has been signed with WWE since 1997.
