Early life

At the time of his birth, his father, ice hockey player Ted Irvine, was playing for the New York Rangers. Irvine’s family returned to Winnipeg, Manitoba, after his father retired. He is a dual citizen of the United States and Canada.
Irvine’s fascination with professional wrestling began when he began watching local American Wrestling Association (AWA) events at the Winnipeg Arena with his family. His desire to become a professional wrestler himself began when he saw footage of Owen Hart performing various high-flying moves.
His first professional wrestling promotion experience came when he worked as part of the ring crew for the first tour of the newly formed Keystone Wrestling Alliance, where he learned valuable tips from independent wrestlers Catfish Charlie and Caveman Broda. He attended Red River College in Winnipeg, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Creative Communications in 1990.

He also held the WWE Intercontinental Championship a record nine times, was the ninth Triple Crown Champion, and the fourth Grand Slam Champion in history.
After leaving WWE in 2018, Jericho signed with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he became a one-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion, making him the first person to hold both the WWE and IWGP Intercontinental Championships. Jericho joined AEW in January 2019 and became the first AEW World Champion in August of that year.
Between ECW, WCW, WWE, NJPW, and AEW, Jericho has held 36 championships in total (including seven World Championships, and 10 Intercontinental Championships).
Jericho joined the heavy metal band Fozzy in 1999, and the band’s self-titled debut album was released the following year. The group’s early work is mostly comprised of cover versions, but since their third album, All That Remains (2005), they have primarily focused on original material.

On July 30, 2000, Irvine married Jessica Lockhart. They live in Odessa, Florida, with their three children, Ash Edward Irvine (born in 2003) and identical twin daughters Sierra Loretta “SiSi” Irvine and Cheyenne Lee “Chey” Irvine (born 2006). All three have appeared on his podcast, Talk Is Jericho, with his son talking about fish and his daughters talking about literature. Irvine is the owner of three cats.
On his ring finger, he has a tattoo of his wife’s name. On the back of his hand is the letter F, which stands for Fozzy. He has gradually gained a sleeve over his left arm since 2012.
