AEW superstar Maxwell Jacob Friedman, better known as MJF, married Alicia Atout on September 5, 2025, after dating since late 2023. Alicia, who has also been involved with All Elite Wrestling for a couple of years, works as a backstage interviewer for the company.
Known by his nickname “The Salt of the Earth,” MJF is famous for staying in character both inside and outside the ring — including on social media and during interviews. Recently, he humorously claimed that he might be divorcing Alicia, sparking conversations among fans.
### AEW World Championship and Upcoming Match

### MJF Opens Up About Marriage on Mostly Sports
In a recent interview on *Mostly Sports*, MJF spoke candidly about his personal life and marriage. When asked about married life, he said:
> “You know what? Exceptional. I get to have s** with her whenever I want. But I’m not even a year in yet, so if that’s the cheat code or what if it changes, I’m getting a divorce. As of right now, things are great.”
Despite his trademark sarcasm, MJF’s comments offered a rare glimpse into his real-life relationship.
### Alicia Atout’s Heartfelt Message to MJF
Following MJF’s championship win, Alicia Atout took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her pride and support for her husband:
