Almost 20 years after their graceful marriage, Canadian-American professional wrestler Chris Jericho renewed vows with his wife, Jessica Lockhart, amongst his close family and colleagues during the 2020 New Year celebration.
American ring announcer David Penzer announced their vow renewal ceremony on his X account (formerly Twitter), writing,
Congrats to @IAmJericho & Jessica on their lovely vow renewal last night. Cool being 1 of 5 to be at both ceremonies!

The already married duo were dressed up like brides and grooms in their marital re-celebration ceremony, and they looked pretty happy in the selfie posted by David on his X account.
Well, the couple had first crossed each other’s path in a Japanese restaurant in Tampa, Florida.
At the time, Chris found his then-future wife, a ‘breathtakingly beautiful blonde,’ who, at the time, was talking to one of his co-workers, Glenn Gilbertti, a.k.a. Disco Inferno.
Soon after, the Manhasset native asked Inferno who the lady was, to which he answered, ‘Friend.’
In the book named A Lion’s Tale, Chris later wrote,
When our eyes locked, I was completely enchanted. When I heard the magic word ‘friend,’ the race was on, and I insisted that he introduce us. He did and we didn’t stop talking until the restaurant closed hours later.
After that, the two exchanged numbers and stayed in touch via phone for several weeks.
Finally, on July 30, 2000, Chris Jericho and his wife walked down the aisle at the St. Charles Country Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Several years have passed since their marriage, but their marital relationship is as graceful as they had initially.
On their 24th wedding anniversary in 2024, Chris Jericho dedicated a post to his wife on his social media, writing,
In a year filled with change, one thing that never changes is the unwavering support and love ❤️ for our family from @lockon27! Happy 24th Anniversary & thanks for all you do! I Love you!
