Behind every successful superstar is often a steadfast partner, and in the case of WWE’s Joaquin Wilde, that person is his wife, Rebecca Schott Paris.
Joaquin Wilde Has A Fantastic Career In The WWE
Joaquin Wilde, born Michael Paris, born October 5, 1986, began his wrestling journey in 2004 on the independent circuit, originally performing under the name Shiima Xion.
Known for his electrifying in-ring style and charismatic presence, he caught national attention as Zema Ion in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he eventually rebranded as DJZ and became a two-time X Division Champion and one-time World Tag Team Champion.
After stints in promotions like Major League Wrestling (MLW), Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), and DDT Pro-Wrestling, Paris joined WWE, adopting the name Joaquin Wilde.
He now performs on the Raw brand and is a member of the Latino World Order, having previously helped form the faction Legado Del Fantasma.
But amid the spotlight and physical demands of pro wrestling, Wilde has found balance and support through his relationship with his wife.
The Wrestler And His Wife Are Raising A Daughter
Joaquin Wilde and Rebecca Schott have been together since 2017.
They tied the knot in October 2019 in a private ceremony that symbolized their commitment to each other beyond the glitz of professional wrestling.
The couple welcomed their first child, Raquel Marlena Paris, on January 30, 2021, at 9:30 a.m.
Wilde shared the joyful news on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“Say hello to my daughter, Raquel Marlena Paris aka Raqi 💖 She was born Jan 30, 2021 at 9:30 am. Pretty sure I cried more than she did when she finally came out.”
Despite being in the public eye, the couple has kept many aspects of their daughter’s life private, reflecting a desire to give her a grounded upbringing away from the cameras.
Joaquin Wilde Is A Devoted Husband And Grateful Father
In May 2024, Wilde paid a touching tribute to Rebecca on Mother’s Day, showcasing just how deeply he values her role in their family.
He tweeted:
“Happy 4th Mother’s Day to @hott.schott! I never feel like I’m able to truly articulate how thankful I am that our daughter has you for her mother. We are very blessed. You are truly the backbone of the fam, and I know when the Raq star grows up and talks about her childhood, she will definitely be able to say that her mother spared no expense to make sure that she had the most incredible childhood ever. Thank you! We love you and appreciate you!”
It’s clear from his words that Wilde holds his wife in the highest regard, not only as a partner but as a devoted mother who plays a central role in shaping their daughter’s future.
While Wilde’s career continues to soar with WWE, fans also admire the man behind the persona.
His openness about his love for his wife and daughter adds a heartfelt layer to his otherwise high-octane wrestling persona.
In an industry known for its intensity, Joaquin Wilde’s story with Rebecca Schott Paris is a refreshing reminder of the importance of love, support, and family behind the fame.
