I heard a bunch of news through the grapevine, people in our business got unfortunate phone calls this morning, so it's a weird time," Jon shared while adding, "I'm feeling very fortunate. I was not, or I will not, for a second feel sorry for myself, like poor me, during this craziness because I've got it pretty good, all things considered. I'm just stuck in the house with my wife [Renee Young], who is my favorite person to hang out with anyway."
Moxley also shared how he is spending his quarantine period with Renee at their Las Vegas home. The couple, who recently celebrated their third year anniversary has been watching movies while Young has been experimenting with some cooking projects.
