The anchor of Jacobs' domestic life remains his wife, Crystal Maurisa Goins. Born in Knoxville, Crystal met Glenn in the early 1990s when his athletic career was precarious and far from lucrative. Through his stints as "Unabomb," "Isaac Yankem, DDS," and the disastrous fake Diesel, Crystal remained his primary confidante.
Their life together took permanent root in Jefferson City and eventually Knoxville, Tennessee. Long before politics beckoned, the couple launched local small businesses, including an all-lines insurance agency, Jacobs Insurance Associates, based in Halls Crossroads. The enterprise gave Jacobs deep roots within the local merchant community long before he ran for county office.
Today, Arista and Devan are adults with families of their own, making Jacobs and Crystal grandparents to two grandchildren. Neighbors in Knox County often see the 6-foot-8 former world champion attending school plays or youth sports events like any other grandfather, blending into the community without the entourage common among wrestling celebrities.
