Tony Stewart and his wife, Leah Pruett, have been married since 2021, and now they’re starting a family.
The racing couple first announced they were expecting in June 2024. Their son, Dominic James, was born on Nov. 17, 2024.
Stewart, a three-time NASCAR champion and Hall of Famer, met Pruett, a two-time NHRA world champion, right before the COVID-19 pandemic. The two bonded while in lockdown over their love for and dedication to racing.
It’s nice to be with somebody who is also involved in racing and understands it,” Stewart said in a January 2021 episode of the Stewart-Haas Radio podcast. “Understands the demands and the pressures and stresses, and it goes the other way too.”
Several months later, Pruett and Stewart announced their engagement on social media. “He might run in circles but he is a straight shooter and the salt of this Earth,” Pruett wrote in an Instagram post. “Looking forward to a lifetime of sunrises and sunsets that the Lord has gifted us together.”
So who is Tony Stewart’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Leah Pruett and her relationship with the racer.
Pruett began racing in Junior Dragsters when she was just 8 years old, according to Autoweek. She’s been dedicated to her career in drag racing ever since, earning 18 career victories before stepping away from racing to focus on building a family.
She told Mobile 1 in July 2024 that her love of motorsports came from her father.
“A small automotive repair shop is what we owned, growing up, and that’s what I worked in, so I always loved cars,” she said. After seeing a national event at 12, she said, “I knew I wanted to be a part of this mechanical ballet.”
