Is Lex Luger Married? Everything You Need to Know About His Wife and Health Today
By Alexander Ross
Before stadium crowds chanted his name, Luger, born Lawrence Pfohl, married Peggy Fulbright in 1985. The marriage took place just as Luger transitioned from collegiate football and the Canadian Football League into Championship Wrestling from Florida. Fulbright stood beside him through the early regional circuits, his rise to the Four Horsemen in the NWA, and his marquee WWF run aboard the "Lex Express" in 1993.
Together, Luger and Fulbright raised two children, Brian and Lauren. Yet the brutal touring schedule of professional wrestling collided with Luger’s mounting addictions to painkillers, alcohol, and prescription sleep aids. By the late 1990s, the physical distances became emotional chasms. Luger spent nearly 300 days a year living out of hotel rooms and gyms, earning millions while growing increasingly detached from his family in Atlanta. Fulbright filed for divorce in 2002, and the dissolution became official in 2003, ending an 18-year partnership precisely as Luger’s life was spiraling out of control.
