The professional wrestling manager and former promoter Paul Heyman values his family, especially his daughter Azalea Heyman, as she changed his perspective towards life and family.
Azalea Heyman, born in 2002, is Paul and Marla’s eldest child and was conceived after the manager’s marriage in the 2000s.
Moreover, she rarely appears beside her father during wrestling events, hinting at her possible disinterest in the industry.
After maintaining such privacy, many even speculated that Ronda Rousey was Paul Heyman’s other daughter as she paid tribute to the manager. But, it was only because Paul Heyman helped Ronda Rousey navigate her life in the ring, not because they were related.

Likewise, Ronda Rousey’s parents are Ron and AnnMaria De Mars, who inspired her to take up professional wrestling.
Returning to Azalea, the celebrity daughter attended Weed High School in California and has an excellent academic record, but her current educational and career background remains unknown.
Looking at her social media account, Azalea handles a private Instagram account with just a hundred followers and five posts, which shows that she prefers to keep things to herself and maintain a quiet life.
Additionally, she has a Twitter account, opened in 2012, where she often retweets her father’s posts, but Azalea is currently inactive on the platform.
Paul Heyman wants to instill his parents’ values in his children and works to motivate them in life!
Despite his massive success in wrestling, Paul Heyman had his fair share of problems in his married life as he finalized his divorce after the birth of his children and has remained unmarried since then.
However, he hasn’t let the divorce’s effects hamper his family and has always strived to provide them with the best education and facilities.
When asked about his daughter in an interview, Paul walked the viewers through his life with Azalea and said, “My father told me that I would have to learn to love something more than myself.” He holds this sentiment close to his heart while raising his children.

Coming from a tough childhood as the child of a Holocaust survivor, Paul Heyman had to struggle a lot. By age 11, he started working by running a mail-order business and later became a photojournalist for the Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF).
Paul didn’t want his family to experience the same, so he dedicated his 2024 WWE Hall of Fame speech to his children as they watched their father from the front row.
In an emotional address, the manager added, “I will never find the words to convey to you how much I desperately love you both,” to which his daughter responded with a flying kiss.
