This article was last updated by on

Former WWE Champion Big Show has been married twice, and his current wife, Bess Katramados, has been by his side for 22 years.

Big Show previously married Melissa Piavis in 1997, after which Piavis garnered significant public attention.

Together, they also had a daughter, Lola, in 1998 and a happy marriage for almost five years.

However, in 2002, Big Show separated from his first wife, Melissa, shortly after which he became romantically involved with another person.

Following his divorce in 2002, the WWE star married his second wife, Bess Katramados that same year.

Big Show met his wife, Bess, who was a model at the time while he was still married to his first wife.

The couple married in 2002 and celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary this year in 2024.

Together, they form a loving family of five, including Big Show’s daughter, Lola, from his previous marriage, and their two children- JJ and Mandy from his marriage to Katramados.

Big Show occasionally shares pictures with his daughters, offering glimpses into his life as a father and highlighting his close bond with his children.

Additionally, Big Show starred in a Netflix sitcom called The Big Show Show, which fictionalized his family life.

In the series, the roles of his daughters played a significant part in highlighting his qualities as a loving and dedicated father.

Although he is a public figure, Big Show, whose real name is Paul Wright, prefers to keep his personal life out of the spotlight.

Additionally, like him, his wife, Bess, is also a private person who prefers to keep her life personal and does not share much with the public online.

However, Bess was reportedly a model, actress, and stuntwoman, although it appears she has already retired from her professional career.

Originally from Bloomington, Illinois, the former model attended Illinois Lutheran High School and began her modeling career as a final-year student.

The public is not aware of any further updates on Bess Katramados’ professional life. Nonetheless, Big Show has spent years in a happy marriage with Bess, raising his daughters and enjoying a fulfilling family life.
