Who Is Gunther's Wife? Personal Life Details of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion
Ask any WWE fan, and they will likely describe Gunther as one of the most intense and aggressive wrestlers in recent memory. Known for his thunderous chops and old-school European hard-hitting style, he has taken the WWE by storm, especially during his dominant second reign as World Heavyweight Champion on RAW.
But beyond the ring, what is life like for the Austrian powerhouse? For those who may not know, Gunther is married to former professional wrestler Jinny Sandhu , whose real name is Jinny Hahn. She was a standout performer in WWE’s NXT UK brand between 2018-2023, where Gunther famously held the title for a record-setting 870 days. Jinny also competed for promotions like Evolve and Revolution Pro-Wrestling (2016-2018) before a serious injury forced her to retire in 2023.
All about Jinny Sandhu’s Professional Wrestling Career and Personal Life
As of July 2025, Jinny is 37 years old. She was born on September 28, 1987, in London, England, and is of South-Asian descent. The former pro-wrestler grew up in Knightsbridge and developed a passion for wrestling at the age of nine, as she shared in an interview with The British Wrestling Revival. She cited legends like Jushin Liger, Lita, Ted DiBiase, Sherri Martel, Victoria, and Trish Stratus as her early influences.
In 2012, she earned a BSc in Psychology from Birmingham City University, as noted on her LinkedIn profile. She debuted in WWE on the NXT UK brand and beat the reigning AEW Women’s World Champion, Toni Storm, in April 2017. Apart from that, Sandhu had memorable feuds with WWE mainstays like Rhea Ripley and Isla Dawn.
Gunther and Jinny Sandhu got married in 2022 and celebrated their wedding with a ceremony attended by family and friends the following year, according to reports. The couple has known each other since their days on the independent wrestling circuit and began dating while working together in NXT UK. In December 2023, they welcomed their first child, a baby boy, and shared the news on social media.
Coming back to Gunther’s current run, ‘The Ring General’ is all set to defend his World Heavyweight title against Goldberg at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta on July 12. And it is safe to say that Sandhu and the Austrian juggernaut’s entire family will be watching this one as he prepares to slay yet another legend.
