Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have been in the public eye for more than three decades. WWE sources are revealing internal fallout from a recent family photo leak, while Triple H himself is offering new information, and a few jokes, about the matter.
WWE’s Chief Content Officer took a rare vacation in mid-August. Triple H, Stephanie, and their three daughters were photographed by paparazzi, while swimming with their rented yacht near Mykonos Island in Greece. The viral images led to several memes and observations from fans and industry insiders, including one side-by-side comparison that revealed Triple H wore the same multi-colored swim trunks that he wore in a photo taken 15 years ago.
The Game was also body-shamed by some online, who may have forgotten about Triple H’s 2021 health issues. Despite the trolls, others defended the 56-year-old wrestling legend, including a longtime wrestler-manager. While appearing on The Pat McAfee Show today, Triple H was jokingly asked about the viral bathing suit, and where you can buy one that lasts that long.
“So, your kids give it to you, and it is an important thing for them, so I only wear it on special occasions, for them, right? It’s a bathing suit that they gave me when they were very little, I don’t think they probably remember giving it to me, but it is something that they talk about on a regular basis, and I have it, so I brought it on vacation. Now, you don’t… we’re like a mile out, [everyone laughs] that guy shooting that picture had a cannon, dude, right?,” Triple H said.
The Cerebral Assassin then joked about getting back in shape. Triple H referenced how President Trump invited he and other athletes to The White House earlier this summer to join The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, and received props from McAfee and his crew.
“It’s also inspired me, and The President’s Council of Fitness, to get my a*s in the gym. [panel: you look jacked!] I look like an olive with four toothpicks sticking out. [McAfee: how old are you?] 56. [McAfee: and how many heart surgeries have you had?] Yeah, yeah, yeah… no, I’ve got some excuses to make in there, but I’m not gonna. But yeah. it’s a funny thing that people focused on the bathing suit,” Triple H said.

Triple H talked with McAfee about how nice the yacht experience was, and the overall trip. He continued to joke about the photo leak, and seemed to have a positive attitude towards the fallout. However, word from within WWE is that many are not OK with how things went down.
People In WWE Upset Over Triple H Family Photo Leak
Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and their family went viral late last month when paparazzi caught the wrestling legends swimming off the coast of Greece while on vacation with their three daughters. These were some of the most-viewed wrestling-related photos of the past several years, but now there are potential legal issues stemming from the revelation.
Word began to emerge earlier this month on how several people that posted the vacation photos were receiving legal notices, and Fightful Select now reports that those who posted the photos could be in legal trouble. It was noted that all signs point to the notices being issued by the photo agency representing the photographer, not WWE or The Levesque Family. This was an important distinction, although it’s not clear if the legal notices were standard Cease & Desist letters or something more complex.
Several people within WWE see the photo leak as an invasion of privacy, regardless of any related legal technicalities, noted Fightful. It was claimed that the paparazzi-snapped photos were released without permission. The report also stated that a number of people in WWE are frustrated with the situation, and upset that the photos surfaced.
