There’s no denying that Kofi Kingston is one of the best WWE fighters. He has won numerous titles, including the WWE Championship, WWE Tag Team Championship (13 times), and several others.
Whether he’s in the ring or at home, Kofi always gives his best. The WWE star is just as committed to his family as he is to wrestling.
The 43-year-old has been happily married to his wife, Kori, since 2010, and together they have three children.
Highlights
- Kofi Kingston first met his wife, Kori Campfield, while attending the same college.
- The wrestler’s lady love was not interested in him when she first saw him.
- The couple has been married since 11 September 2010 and are proud parents of three adorable children.
For Kofi Kingston and Kori Campfield, family is everything. The couple often share lovely pictures on their social media and express their love and gratitude for one another.
The wrestler once wrote,
“The one thing I value most on this earth is time; particularly, time with my family.”
But Kofi and Kori’s story didn’t start easily. Initially, Kori wasn’t interested in Kofi, but his persistence eventually won her over.
Kori Campfield Thought Kofi Was Short and Skinny When They First Met
The married duo shared how they first met and how their love story began on WWE 24 Extra in August 2019.
The smitten couple first crossed paths while attending Boston College. At the time, the wrestler, who was in his senior year, was about to graduate.
On the other hand, Kori was a junior. She shared that she was not interested in Kingston at first because she thought he was short and skinny.
“So, I had seen him more from a distance, I thought he was short and skinny. I was not interested, but eventually, over time, he sort of wore me down.”

“And I scooped her up on the way out,” the wrestler said. They began dating soon after and walked down the aisle on 11 September 2010.
Since then, the love birds have been happily together.

In an interview with the New York Post, Kofi said that in WWE, you always need to be ready for changes. Plans can change quickly, and you have to adapt.
“One of the main lessons that I’ve learned is that you never know what tomorrow is going to bring with WWE. You always have to be ready to adjust at the drop of a hat.”

He further disclosed that when Jones was removed, they had to adjust the storyline and keep moving forward.
"You know, once Odyssey (Jones) was out of the mix, we just had to figure out a way to pivot and keep the story going and keep on moving forward, because, as they say, the show must go on. And you figure out the best ways to adjust." -Kofi Kingston
WWE has a special Raw episode for The New Day’s 10-year anniversary. Kofi hopes Big E, who has been out since March, can join the celebration.
