Wrestler Buff Bagwell and his first wife, Alexis Rianja, were married for around six years.
Bagwell, widely known for his success in WCW and brief WWE stint, recently shared personal updates about his life, including an unexpected three-day jail sentence.
Highlights
- Marcus Buff Bagwell announced that he would return to jail to serve a 72-hour sentence for some sanctions related to his 2020 arrest.
- Buff Bagwell married Gabby Randallson after the official divorce from Alexis Rainja.
- Bagwell is in a relationship with Georgia resident Stacy Brown.
Despite his struggles with substance abuse in the past, Bagwell has been sober for two and a half years and is in a positive place, both spiritually and personally.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Bagwell explained that the jail sentence is due to “jail sanction” related to a rule violation in his strict accountability program, not new criminal charges.
He emphasized his commitment to staying on track, asking fans not to believe rumors or misinterpret his mugshot, which might resurface from a 2020 arrest. Bagwell said,
“I’m in the best place I’ve ever been in my life,” “This is a jail sanction—it’s not because I relapsed or got arrested again. I want people to know I’m doing great.”
