On today's episode of his "Snake Pit" podcast with Conrad Thompson and DDP, Jake Roberts mentioned that he is currently dating his ex-wife Cheryl, 25 years after their divorce. Cheryl appeared on WWF TV in 1988 as part of Jake's feud with Rick Rude.

So that is why both are appearing at 80s Wrestling Con this May in NJ!

That's actually really cool, wishing them all the best. Jake seems to really have turned things around lately.

It’s almost absurd just how much his sections of Beyond the Mat have aged like curdled milk in the best possible way.

That is awesome. You hear stories about lost loves reuniting in their older years, just not too much about ex wives/husbands. I know Jake has been loving life since his recovery, you see it in his smile and how he acts with the fans too. I am so happy for him and hope all happiness for them. Jake's story of recovery needs to be required viewing for any substance abuse program, I think.

Jake's recovery has been nothing short of amazing.

Jake's life has had so much darkness in it that the idea of seeing him righting his path and finding renewed life even as his health takes a few downturns is heartwarming to see. Usually, it's just a straight drive to the bottom and then the end in wrestling.

Even down to the bits where he tells everyone he's terrified of becoming his own father (which is more revealing now than it was then) and then you find out that actually his relationship with his daughter is still strong nowadays. He really did turn his life around in the last 12 years and earned all the praise for it. |

Slightly related, but I’ve got a friend who teaches yoga part time and posted a link to DDP’s yoga on her FB page. She had no idea who he was, but I told her about how his teachings helped Jake in his recovery. Even typing it out it was impossible not to be impressed with Jake’s turnaround. |

I think he should be more famous but even though he's not, he's accomplished something a lot of wrestlers and wrestling personalities can't-he's run a successful business outside of wrestling for 20 some years. One of my biggest thrills was getting to meet Arthur Boorman in person and see how good he looked. I tell his story to so many people I met who tell me about their weight or health woes. On top of that, getting to meet Scott Hall and Jake happy and sober was awesome. I always loved Jake and Razor was my all time favorite as a kid. |

Always nice to read some positive news. Jake was always one of my favourites wish him nothing but the best.

This is the part of the recovery process a lot of people always forget: Making amends with those you've hurt. I don't exactly know what happened between the two of them but it likely wasn't pretty.
This does my heart good.
