Gabbi Tuft, more commonly known by her in-ring name Tyler Reks, has come out as a transgender woman.

Reks has a wife, Priscilla, and a daughter, Mia. Her wife has been incredibly supportive of her through this journey.
Gabbi posted a photo with a detailed caption that explained what her journey truly entailed.
Gabbi put up a countdown of the days leading up to her announcement. She posted one photo daily which led up to her announcement on 4th February this year.
Gabbi Tuft, formerly known as Tyler Reks, retired from professional wrestling in 2014
She kept her long hair under wraps until the day of the announcement. Tuft also gave an exclusive interview regarding her reveal to Extra TV, which she posted about in her Instagram stories.
WWE fans would best remember her from her tag team partnership with Curt Hawkins. She quit the promotion in 2012 and also ventured into independent wrestling circuits in 2014 for a while.
Her journey is truly marvellous to read about. She event went through an open heart surgery a couple of years earlier.
