The first day they met, Chris Jericho and Jessica Lockhart spoke for hours. In fact, he left a message on her answering machine that very night after bidding her goodbye that night.

Even though Chris Jericho and Jessica Lockhart both stayed in Tampa Bay, Florida, Jessica’s father is from Minnesota. Lockhart left the very next day after she met Jericho for her father’s house.

Jericho and Jessica used this time apart to get to know each other better before moving anything forward. They built the foundation, and when she returned a few weeks later, she was already his girlfriend.

The duo got married on July 30, 2000 at the St. Charles Country Club. They have three children together. Their oldest is their son, Ash Edward Irvine, who was born in 2003. The couple were blessed with twin daughters, SiSi and Chey, in 2006.

Jericho’s wife prefers to raise the children away from the spotlight. This is why there are rarely any appearances from them. In fact, Lockhart likes to stay away from the spotlight herself.

Due to this, not a lot is publicly known about Jessica Lockhart.
