Mariah Lynch and Richie Faulkner’s Relationship and Children
It’s unclear when and how Richie Faulkner met George Lynch’s daughter and began dating her. It’s unclear if they are married, but the Judas Priest guitarist has referred to Mariah Lynch as “wife” in recent interviews.
British-born Faulkner moved to the U.S. and settled in Nashville to be with Mariah. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, on July 8, 2020. They’ve kept their daughter’s identity and images on the down-low, though they do share cute little glimpses of her growing up.
Their daughter is reportedly George’s fifth grandchild. But don’t mistake him for a metal stereotype. George is the goofy and doting granddad.
