Instead of dogs or cats, the Murdoch-Tyrus household is filled with exotic animals, ranging from snakes and turtles to lizards, chameleons, and fish. Known as the “Tyrus-zilla Zoo,” the menagerie is managed almost entirely by Ingrid, who transformed initial reluctance into leadership. She even added thunderstorm sound effects at night to help the reptiles breed, delegating daily care tasks to the children.
Together, the couple raises a blended family — Georgie, Ingrid’s two sons from a previous marriage, and Tyrus’ children from earlier relationships. Despite his demanding travel schedule, Tyrus prioritizes time with his loved ones. Ingrid often joins him on the road, attending events such as his 2022 book launch and his 2024 What It Is comedy tour. Still, balancing public life and private time remains a challenge, with Ingrid noting that fan attention can make even simple date nights difficult.
The couple has also weathered public controversies. In 2019, Tyrus faced a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former co-host, which was privately settled in 2021. In a candid TikTok post, Ingrid later reflected on the emotional strain the family endured, praising her husband for his strength during difficult times.
Today, Tyrus and Ingrid continue to balance the spotlight with family life, proving that their bond — built on resilience, reinvention, and shared commitment — has only grown stronger with time.
