Personal life
Silas Allred was born on May 8, 2002, to Eric Allred and Dana Ellis. Silas grew up with eight siblings, five sisters, and three brothers.[18]
Silas didn't get serious about wrestling until he was in seventh grade. Prior to becoming a full-time wrestler, Allred played baseball and American football where he was a pitcher and linebacker respectively. His father was also a pitcher in high school and graduated from Muncie Central High School in 1995. Eric was kicked out of three Illinois JUCO schools โ Triton, Lincoln Trail, and Wabash Valley โ ruining his chances to play in the Major Leagues.[19] Silas never grew up with his father around until he was in high school. After Eric matured and became a family man, he was diagnosed with ALS.[20] About a month after Jhade, his long time girlfriend, and Silas got engaged, Eric contracted pneumonia. On February 7, 2021, Eric Allred passed away.[21]
After his freshman year at Nebraska, Silas got married to Jhade.
