A yoga entrepreneur who spent years out of the spotlight is now at the center of a bitter, headline-making divorce.
Erika Wulff Jones built a career teaching yoga in Austin, Texas, long before most people knew her name. That changed once her marriage to Infowars founder Alex Jones brought her into the same public arena as his conspiracy theories, his defamation lawsuits, and now, his second divorce.
She isn’t a public figure by trade. But a 2021 domestic violence arrest, an alleged non-consensual photo leak tied to Jones’s Sandy Hook litigation, and a 2024–2025 divorce filled with dueling restraining orders have kept her name in the news whether she sought that attention or not.
Erika Wulff Jones is an American yoga instructor and entrepreneur, born between 1979 and 1983, who married Alex Jones in January 2017 and shares one child with him. She founded New Order Yoga in Austin in 2012, was arrested on a domestic violence charge in December 2021, and filed for divorce from Jones amid a contentious split that became public in 2024 and 2025.
Building New Order Yoga in Austin
Before Jones was a household name attached to a controversial husband, she was building a business. She graduated from the University of Washington, where she studied Comparative History and Cultural Conflict Mediation, before earning a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification in Austin and founding her own studio.
That studio, New Order Yoga, has operated since May 2012, and according to her LinkedIn profile, Wulff designs customized yoga sequences aimed at specific client outcomes. She has also built a presence as a social media influencer within the yoga and wellness space, collaborating with other instructors online.
Marrying Alex Jones and Starting a Family
Wulff Jones married Alex Jones in 2017, two years after he divorced his first wife, Kelly Rebecca Nichols. The couple has one child together. Jones was previously married to Kelly Jones starting in 2007 before the two separated in 2015, and Erika became stepmother to his three children from that earlier marriage.
For the first few years, their marriage largely stayed out of headlines — a notable contrast to Jones’s public persona as founder of Infowars and a defendant in the Sandy Hook defamation cases.
The Christmas Eve Arrest That Made National News
The relationship’s private struggles became public on December 24, 2021. Sheriff’s deputies took Erika Wulff Jones into custody and booked her into an Austin jail around 8:45 p.m. that Friday, with jail records showing she faced misdemeanor charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member and resisting arrest.
According to a police affidavit later reviewed by The Daily Beast, Jones told a 911 operator that his wife had struck him over the head multiple times and was holding what he described as a polished club, which she allegedly tried to hit him with. A second affidavit claimed Erika resisted being handcuffed and struck at least one responding officer. Jones later told police that during the altercation, which reportedly began while the couple was bathing their child, Erika struck him more than 20 times, including once with a bottle that caused burning to his eyes, and pursued him with a stone ball.
Publicly, Jones downplayed the incident. He described it to the Associated Press as a private family matter and attributed his wife’s behavior to a medication imbalance following a recent surgery. Court records reviewed separately by The Daily Beast also showed Erika had been arrested once before, in August 2019, on a DWI charge after Jones hired a private investigator to follow her out of concern that she was suicidal and intoxicated. She was released on bond that Sunday.
The Roger Stone Photo Controversy
Erika Wulff Jones’s name resurfaced during Alex Jones’s Sandy Hook defamation trial for reasons unrelated to yoga or domestic disputes. Attorney Mark Bankston, representing a victim’s family, said discovery from Jones’s phone revealed that Jones had sent an intimate photo of Erika to political operative Roger Stone. Bankston publicly questioned whether Erika had consented to the photo being shared, suggesting it raised issues that could warrant further scrutiny. Neither Jones nor Wulff Jones has offered a detailed public response to that specific claim.
A Marriage Unravels: Dueling Divorce and Restraining Order Filings
By late 2024, the marriage was over in every way but paperwork. Jones filed for divorce in Texas on September 9, 2024, citing conflict of personalities after roughly seven years of marriage, and requested a temporary restraining order against Wulff Jones the same day, which a judge granted on September 20.
Wulff Jones had also submitted her own divorce petition and, on March 12, 2025, requested an emergency temporary restraining order of her own. Jones then filed a motion on March 21 seeking to keep the court records confidential.
The financial backdrop adds another layer: documents filed in Jones’s 2023 bankruptcy case showed he had been paying Wulff Jones $15,000 a month under the terms of a prenuptial agreement. That bankruptcy stemmed largely from the roughly $1.5 billion in Sandy Hook defamation judgments against him.
Despite the legal hostility, the split hasn’t been entirely acrimonious in public view — Wulff shared a photo of Jones with their daughter on January 2, 2025, suggesting some degree of continued co-parenting contact even as the divorce proceeded. As of the most recent public reporting, the divorce had not been finalized.

Asset Valuation
Erika Wulff Jones does not have a publicly audited or court-confirmed net worth. Some entertainment and wiki-style outlets have circulated an estimate around $1.5 million, tied loosely to her yoga business and social media presence, but this figure is not independently verified and should be treated as speculative. What is documented is that she received $15,000 a month from Jones under a prenuptial agreement, as disclosed in his 2023 bankruptcy filings — though it’s unclear whether that arrangement continued once divorce proceedings began.

Erika Wulff Jones spent over a decade building a yoga business largely apart from her husband’s public notoriety, only to be pulled into headlines through an arrest, a leaked-photo allegation, and now a divorce playing out through competing restraining orders. Whatever the courts eventually decide about the marriage, her professional identity — as the founder of a working yoga studio, not just as “Alex Jones’s wife” — is the part of her story least covered by the tabloids and the part most attributable to her own record.
