Who Is Johnny Knoxville’s Wife?

Following the recent release of Johnny Knoxville’s latest movie Jackass Forever, fans of the stunt man want to know whether he has a wife waiting anxiously on the sidelines when he performs his dangerous tricks.

The fourth Jackass film follows Knoxville, Steve-O and their crew as they showcase a series of impressively painful stunts. 

The American stunt performer recently admitted to PEOPLE Magazine that he “put my family through enough, quite honestly”, so who is Johnny Knoxville’s wife?

Who is Johnny Knoxville’s wife?

Johnny Knoxville is married to screen-writer and director Naomi Nelson. 

Nelson was already an entertainment industry-veteran before meeting Knoxville, having worked as a production assistant for Carnivàle’s season two. 

The director then went on to co-direct Reel Grrls 2009 Productions, as well as writing, directing and editing Fifth Star, a short documentary which depicted the history of the women’s right to vote in Washington. 

Despite their marriage spanning over a decade at the time of writing, not much is known about Nelson’s personal life.

It has previously been reported that her birthday is 20th August 1980, but this has yet to be confirmed by the director.

Who are Johnny Knoxville’s children?

Johnny Knoxville and Naomi Nelson are parents to two children, with Knoxville also having another child from a previous relationship.

The pair welcomed their first child, son Rocko (now age 12), in December 2009, and then went on to tie the knot in September 2010. 

The couple then brought their second child into the world, daughter Arlo (now age 10), in October 2011. 

Knoxville is also father to Madison (now age 26), who he shares with his ex-wife Melanie Lynn Clapp. 

He recently told PEOPLE Magazine that he doesn’t want his children to continue with the Jackass legacy after he retires.

He told the publication: "My son, he's got the same gene that my father had and I think that I have, so I definitely want to keep him out of it.

"I made it very clear to him he won't be going into the family business."
