GrokBrock Lesnar's parents, Richard and Stephanie Lesnar, raised the future WWE and UFC champion on a South Dakota dairy farm. Here's everything known about the family that built "The Beast Incarnate."
Brock Edward Lesnar was born July 12, 1977, in Webster, South Dakota. He grew up on a dairy farm, not in a training facility.
He holds American nationality by birth and picked up Canadian citizenship in 2016, largely tied to his time competing out of Saskatchewan in his later UFC career.
His ethnicity is often mislabeled because of his surname. Despite "Lesnar" being read as Slovenian by many, he is primarily of Polish descent.
His father's side traces back to Polish and German roots, with great-grandparents who came over from Poland. His mother brought partial Norwegian ancestry into the mix.
Who Are Brock Lesnar's Parents?
Richard Lesnar, his father, owned and worked the dairy farm in Webster where Brock spent his childhood.
Richard died April 7, 2019, at 63, from complications following heart surgery. After winning the Universal Championship later that year, Brock dedicated the victory to him in his post-match comments, one of the rare public moments where he let something personal show.
Stephanie Lesnar, his mother, pushed differently. She was competitive in a way that made losing feel unacceptable.
There's a well-known story from his youth, Brock lost in the quarterfinals of a wrestling match, and his mother made clear she was not pleased.
That kind of expectation at home either breaks a kid or builds something. In his case, it built a two-time NCAA heavyweight champion.
Brock grew up with three siblings, all raised on the same farm. His older brother Troy wrestled competitively, winning a state title in high school and later competing at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
Older brother Chad went a different direction; he moved into business and runs a construction company in South Dakota. Younger sister Brandi Nichol Lesnar attended the University of Minnesota.
On the personal side, Brock married Rena Greek, known in WWE as Sable, in May 2006. They have two sons together, Turk and Duke, born in 2009 and 2010, respectively.
Both boys are growing up on the family's farm in Maryfield, Saskatchewan. He also has twins from a prior relationship with Nicole McClain, daughter Mya Lynn, and son Luke, both born in 2002.
Mya Lynn competes in shot put and discus at Colorado State University, continuing the family's athletic tradition.
He rarely talks about any of this, which is exactly what you would expect from someone raised the way he was.
