Andre The Giant married Jean Christensen although the couple never registered their marriage license in the United States. Jean first met Andre back in 1974 while doing PR for wrestling. They have a daughter named Robin Christensen who like her father is a wrestler. Christensen had almost no connection with her father and saw him only five times in her life, despite occasional televised and printed news pieces criticizing his absentee fatherhood. While she gave some interviews about the subject in her childhood, Christensen is reportedly reluctant to discuss her father publicly today.

Andre didn’t think Jean was pregnant with his kid at first. He refused to recognize Robin as his daughter once she was born. It took some legal wrangling to get Andre to the doctor for a blood test. Andre and Jean were discovered to have the same blood type.

Jean petitioned the court for Andre’s financial assistance for their daughter. After years of requesting assistance, Jean and her daughter received clearance from Andre to receive 750$ each month. They eventually increased to $1,000 each month.

Andre The Giant in WWE

Andre made his WWE debut in 1982 when Vince McMahon took over the company from his father. He needed new wrestlers to expand his company, and Andre was one of the very first wrestlers that he signed up. Andre was so important to Vince that he made several exceptions for him including allowing him to fight in New Japan Pro Wrestling. One of Andre’s greatest feuds was with Killer Khan who was also known as the Mongolian Giant. Another rival of his was Big John Studd. However, Andre ended up losing his matches by disqualification as nobody was able to pin him down.
