KYREN Wilson’s never-give-up attitude while playing snooker has earned him the nickname The Warrior.
He and his young family have also faced some testing off-table battles — here we get to know his wife and kids.

Who is Kyren Wilson’s wife Sophie?
Kyren married Sophie Lauren on June 5, 2016.
The coupe had been dating since 2009 prior to tying the knot.
He often mentions his wife in his Instagram posts.
Ahead of the 2024 World Championship, Kyren revealed that it had been an extremely “challenging” year because Sophie had a stroke and was diagnosed with epilepsy.
She had to surrender her driving licence due to the diagnosis, but Sophie is thankfully on the mend and hopefully will be soon back behind a wheel.
How many children do Kyren and Sophie Wilson have?
Kyren has two children, Finley and Bailey
Finley was born in 2015, and Bailey followed in 2018.
Just like their talented father, both of his sons are obsessed with playing snooker.
The Warrior is extremely family focused and often says he hopes to make his kids proud with his exploits in the sport.
The proud father’s social media is filled with photos and videos of his children.
What has happened to Kyren Wilson’s son?
Bailey is due to undergo surgery in May 2024 to correct a broken nose suffered in a school accident.
It follows a worrying episode last year when Bailey spent five days in hospital — doctors initially thought it might have been a tumour — following inflammation of his stomach and bowels.
Kyren told SunSport: “It’s been a bit of a challenging year.
“There have been lots of things going on with the family. So snooker has had to take a little bit of a backseat this year.
“Not necessarily something I’d have like to have done or chosen to do.
“My wife’s had to surrender her licence because of her epilepsy. That was brought on by Bailey being really ill last year.
“Off the back of that, it has triggered her epilepsy again. She had a silent stroke.”
Wilson added: “Now Bailey has gone and fractured his eye-socket and his nose. He is due for surgery in May.
“It was just an accident at school. He ran straight into a wooden gym rail and bust up his face.
“I’ve had non-stop hospital appointments with him. But he’s alright, he’s tough as old boots.
“I’ve been nonstop. I’ve hardly been able to practise. I haven’t really able to travel a lot. It’s part of having children, isn’t it?”
Wilson revealed he had been forced to reduce the length and frequency of practice sessions to drive his kids to school and hospital appointments.
