WWE Superstar Randy Orton has been a generational talent in professional wrestling and has been at the top of the WWE ever since his debut in 2002. From The Viper to being a part of RK-Bro with the controversial former WWE star Matt Riddle, Randy has gone through a lot of changes throughout his WWE career.
The legend killer has been involved in legendary feuds with the likes of Triple H and The Undertaker, and his feud with John Cena has arguably been the face of the Modern era. Alongside Randy’s wrestling career, his personal life has also been a topic of discussion among his fans.
While Randy Orton is happily married to Kim Marie Kessler currently, Orton was previously married to American make-up artist and entrepreneur Samantha Speno in 2007. According to reports, Randy and his ex-wife first met in a bar. They got engaged in 2005 and eventually married two years later, on September 21, 2007. They were blessed with a daughter in 2008, who is named Alanna.
Their marriage seemed perfect to everyone, but they shockingly parted ways after six years of marriage, finalizing their divorce in June 2013. Randy’s wife Speno, had filed for divorce earlier, citing that their marriage was “irretrievably broken”.
While Samantha didn’t explicitly specify the reason for their divorce; it was believed that Randy’s demanding career was the reason for their split. It’s obvious that the personal lives of professional wrestlers are highly affected due to the nature of the sport, and it even strains personal relationships on some occasions.
After his divorce from Samantha in 2013, Orton married his now-wife, Kim Marie Kessler. As Kim herself revealed, they first met during an event. The couple got married on November 14, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s now been over nine years since they married and they have one child together. However, the couple are parents to five children in total as Randy has one child with his previous partner and Kim has three children from her last relationship.
What amount did Randy Orton lose in the divorce?
Randy Orton’s marriage with his first wife, Samantha Speno, ended in 2013 with a high-profile divorce settlement. The WWE superstar’s net worth took a massive blow due to the amount he lost in the divorce.
Following the divorce, Randy’s first wife, Samantha, got a 2013 Infiniti, a bank account with $654,317, her engagement ring worth $99,000, and some valuable jewelry. Moreover, she secured sole custody of their beloved daughter, Alanna, which was a massive emotional blow to the 14-time World Champion Randy.
The Court’s decision gave Randy visitation rights to meet his daughter, and he was instructed to provide financial support. As per the order, Orton had to pay Samantha a monthly sum of $4,500 in child support. It was to cover their daughter Alanna’s upbringing and also for her well-being.
In contrast, Randy retained ownership of one of their luxurious homes situated in St. Louis, Missouri, and also several six-figure bank accounts. Additionally, he also retained his hard-earned earnings from WWE, which amounted to a massive monthly salary of about $291,666.
The exact amount lost by Randy Orton in the divorce has not been disclosed, but it is believed that Randy’s estimated net worth of $15 million took a massive blow due to the divorce settlement. It’s been a long time since Randy got divorced from Samantha. The Viper is now living a great life with his now-wife, Kim Marie Kessler.
