INFOWARS host Alex Jones’ marriage to Erika Wulff Jones has been in the headlines multiple times over the years after a domestic violence arrest and an alleged “spy ring.”
Jones tied the knot with Erika, his second wife, in 2017 and the two share one child together.

While her husband is often making headlines, for example, Jones was recently ordered to pay nearly $1billion for spreading lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, Erika tends to avoid the spotlight.
Aside from being known as Jones’ wife, Erika is also known as the founder of New Order Yoga.
“We believe that yoga is for everyone no matter what age or ability level,” she wrote in her LinkedIn biography.
She completed a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher training course in order to create her yoga studio, which is located in Austin, Texas.

Prior to New Order Yoga, she obtained a degree in Comparative History from the University of Washington.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARREST
On Christmas Eve 2021, Erika was arrested on a domestic violence charge.
At the time, her husband told The Associated Press: “It's a private family matter that happened on Christmas Eve.
“I love my wife and care about her and it appears to be some kind of medication imbalance.”

Erika was facing misdemeanor charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member and resisting arrest, search, or transport.
Jones said the arrest “doesn’t concern my politics” and that “it wasn’t some kind of personal hateful thing.”
‘SPY RING’ ACCUSATION
Jones, who has made a career of spreading conspiracy theories about being secretly surveilled, was accused of using a network of spies and informants to track Erika and his ex-wife, Kelly Jones.
Rolling Stone reported that Jones, who was married to Kelly from 2007 to 2015, used extensive surveillance to track Kelly during their multi-year custody battle.
The information allegedly included her activities and whereabouts with one source telling the outlet that Kelly was being monitored by a ragtag “spy ring” of human intelligence.
“Alex is obsessed with me, has had me followed for years, has done everything to infringe on my liberties and personal freedom to impose himself into my life,” Kelly said in a text message obtained by the publication.
“My life is a gauntlet of waiting for his next nefarious or disingenuous or overtly threatening move. I’m not surprised to find out that he’s engaged in this activity. I would really like to find out the extent to which this has occurred, [and] if it’s even legal.”
One of the sources claimed that Jones has used similar tactics on his current wife, Erika, however, she did not respond to the outlet’s request for comment.
In the alleged texts, Jones would repeatedly ask for updates on Erika’s location and would receive screenshots of a GPS phone app used to track her car.
NUDE PHOTO
It was revealed that Jones had shared an “intimate photo” of Erika with Roger Stone, a former political advisor of then-President Donald Trump.
“I don’t know if that was consensual,” said attorney, Mark Bankston, who represented the parents of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
“And if it wasn’t consensual, and Mrs Wulff Jones should know about that.”
In an interview with Insider, Erika said she was “unaware” of the exchange and said that she was “upset that he took privilege to send the image to someone without my knowledge.”
MAJOR COURT UPDATE
Jones will have to hand over $965million to 15 family members who lost a child in the Sandy Hook massacre, and to an FBI agent who was harassed after the conspiracy theorist claimed first responders were “crisis actors.”
Several family members and an FBI agent who responded to the scene testified during the trial, and they were tormented by Jones' followers who believed his claims.
The Infowars founder has falsely called the shooting, which left 20 children and six adults dead, a hoax orchestrated by the government to enact stricter gun laws.
Jones, who was not present in the courtroom, streamed the ruling live and seemingly mocked the decision on his Infowars show.
Several families in the Connecticut courtroom on Wednesday got emotional after hearing the enormous amount they'll be receiving.
The plaintiffs' attorney, Chris Mattei, asked the six jurors to "think about the scale of the defamation," citing as one example Jones' claim the families “faked their six- or seven-year-old's death.”
Jones' defense attorney Norm Pattis said he intends to appeal the jury's decision, saying he's “never seen a case like this,” and called the decision a “dark day for freedom of speech.”
“We disagree with the basis of the default, we disagree with the court’s evidentiary rulings. In more than 200 trials in the course of my career, I have never seen a trial like this,” Pattis said.
Despite the court's ruling, Jones indicated on Wednesday that he has no plans to stop his baseless remarks about mass shootings.

“They want to scare us away from question[ing] Uvalde or Parkland,” he said on Wednesday's show.
“We’re not going away. We’re not going to stop.”
