Alex Jones, the controversial radio host and founder of InfoWars, and his wife, Erika Wulff, have been in the media spotlight following the announcement of their divorce. Married in 2017, the couple’s relationship has faced numerous challenges, culminating in Jones filing for divorce in Texas on September 9, 2024. This news was first reported on March 27, 2024.
In connection with the divorce, Jones secured a restraining order against Wulff, which was officially granted on September 20, 2024. The ongoing legal drama escalated on March 12, when Wulff similarly filed her own petition and requested an emergency temporary restraining order.
Further complicating the situation, Jones submitted a motion on March 21 to maintain the privacy of court documents related to their case. The protective measures taken by both parties indicate tensions amid their unfolding divorce proceedings.
This separation comes just a few years after Wulff and Jones married, following Jones’ previous divorce from his first wife, Kelly Jones, with whom he shares three children. The custody battle between Alex and Kelly concluded in 2017, granting them joint custody, after Alex had held primary custody for two years.
The couple had one child together, but as of now, neither party has disclosed any information regarding how they intend to manage custody matters amid the divorce.
Despite these legal wrangles, there is some question about the current state of their relationship. On January 2, 2025, Erika shared a family photo featuring Jones and their daughter, indicating that perhaps, despite their divorce proceedings, they may still have amicable interactions.
In another instance, on January 10, Erika referred to Jones as “my husband” in a post. This could suggest a more complex interaction as they navigate the challenges of their alleged separation.
Exploring Alex Jones and Erika Wulff’s Turbulent History
The relationship between Jones and Wulff has not been without its controversies. On December 24, 2021, Erika Wulff was arrested following an incident that led to charges of domestic violence. Reports indicate that Alex attributed her actions to medication changes post-surgery, arguing it was a matter stemming from a medical issue.
Wulff faced charges of assault and resisting arrest, particularly concerning an incident where a family member was injured. Alex initially refrained from sharing specifics of the event, labeling it as a “private family matter.”He expressed concern for his wife, emphasizing his love and care for her, suggesting that her behavior might have been influenced by a medication imbalance.
It remains undisclosed whether Jones himself suffered any injuries during this incident. He clearly stated that Wulff’s arrest was not politically motivated, and she was released from custody shortly thereafter on December 26, 2021.
Allegations of Trust Violations in the Marriage
Adding to the list of controversies, in 2018, Alex Jones faced a defamation lawsuit from the families affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. During this litigation, attorney Mark Bankston, who represented one of the victim’s families, claimed to have uncovered evidence that implicated Jones in sharing a private photo of Wulff with political consultant Roger Stone.
Bankston’s accusation raised questions about the nature of consent, hinting at potential misuse of trust within the marriage: “There might be something that needs to be done about that. Then again, it could be totally consensual,”he remarked during an interview.
Subsequently, Jones admitted in court to having sent the intimate image to Roger Stone, adding another layer to the complex narrative surrounding his marriage to Erika Wulff.
