Two Years Already!? Penn Wrestler MattybFatty Celebrates Wedding Anniversary in Style
Two years have flown by for Penn wrestler and social media personality “MattybFatty,” as he and his wife celebrated their second wedding anniversary this week with heartwarming posts and an outpouring of love from fans and fellow athletes.
Known for his energetic presence both on the mat and online, MattybFatty—real name Matthew Bartlett—has become something of a cult figure within the wrestling community. Whether it’s his viral TikToks, behind-the-scenes team content, or candid moments during practice, he has earned a loyal following. But this week, it wasn’t his wrestling accolades making headlines—it was his relationship.
“Two years married to my best friend,” Bartlett posted on Instagram, alongside a carousel of sweet photos from their wedding day, a few candid road trip snaps, and a recent picture of the two embracing on campus near the iconic Penn wrestling room. His post quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments, with fans cheering on the couple and celebrating their love.
His wife, whose name has largely remained out of the spotlight, also shared a touching message: “From the mat to marriage, you never fail to make me laugh, support me, and inspire everyone around you. Here’s to forever.”
Their love story, which began during Bartlett’s early years at Penn, has been a quiet but consistent presence in his public life. While he’s known for being loud and humorous online, his relationship has often revealed a softer, more grounded side of the athlete. Fans have occasionally seen glimpses of the couple at Penn athletic events, traveling during breaks, or enjoying casual date nights—always with a touch of humor and authenticity.
Teammates chimed in on social media, including fellow Penn wrestlers who joked, “We can’t believe she puts up with you—but we love her for it!” Coaches and alumni also congratulated the couple, with one comment reading, “Great things on and off the mat, Matty. Happy anniversary!”
Now in his final year with the Penn wrestling program, Bartlett has expressed excitement not just for his final season, but for what lies ahead beyond the mat—with his partner by his side.
As fans continue to follow MattybFatty for the laughs and wrestling highlights, it’s clear his biggest win might just be the love he’s found outside the ring.
