Alicia Atout Reveals How She and MJF Began Hooking Up

Alicia Atout is a prominent figure in the professional wrestling industry, known for her interviews and coverage and signed with AEW earlier this year. She is also dating MJF and has now revealed how she and MJF began dating.

Last year, The Salt of The Earth went public with his relationship with Alicia Atout. MJF has a history of teasing Alicia Atout. Their banter started with MJF playfully referring to Alicia Atout as “T*** McGee from W**** Island,” seemingly in jest and for his own amusement. This nickname has been used by him a few times in recent memory.

While speaking on AEW Unrestricted, Alicia Atout talked about her relationship with MJF. Atout revealed that they first met when they were both in their early 20s. Atout was 21, and MJF was 20 at the time. Their early interactions were marked by playful and sometimes outrageous moments, including physical exchanges like him kicking her and her slapping him.

“I have known Maxwell Jacob Friedman since we were both in our early 20s, I believe he was 20 and I was 21 when we first met. We had a lot of back and forth, a lot of interviews, a lot of very ridiculous, ridiculous moments together from him kicking me to me slapping him across the face, yes, yes. So one would wonder, ‘How did two people over the span of seven and a half years come to where we are now?'”

Despite the tumultuous start, Atout explained that MJF’s relentless persistence eventually won her over. She pointed out how his determination, which he often mentions in his promos, played a significant role in their relationship developing over the past seven and a half years.

“He is just so annoyingly persistent that he just bogged me down, and bogged me down. He always says in promos and when addressing the audience he gets everything that he wants and that just so happened to be the case over here, so now this where we’re at.”

Having previously signed with MLW, Atout departed from the company in March 2023 and now she remains an integral part of AEW television alongside her beloved MJF. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see how their relationship will continue to flourish over the years.
