Meet Erin Angle’s Parents: Cindy Abbondanza Angle and Dave Angle

Erin Angle is an American registered nurse and anaesthetist best known as the wife of actor Jon Bernthal and the niece of WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle.

She was born on February 14, 1976, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is currently 50 years old. Erin is of mixed European descent, with Italian, Irish, English, German, and Lithuanian roots traced through her father’s side of the family. Her religious beliefs have not been publicly disclosed.

She is the daughter of Cindy Abbondanza Angle and Dave Angle, and she grew up alongside five siblings, four sisters named Cassidy Angle, Jackie Angle, Kristen Angle, and Lea Angle, and a brother named Mark Angle.

Erin completed her secondary education at Canon McMillan High School in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1994, before earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1998. She later returned to school at the University of Southern California, where she obtained a Master’s degree in Anesthesiology in 2008, a qualification that shaped her career as a nurse anaesthetist.

Erin met her husband, actor Jon Bernthal, in 2000 at a welcome home party in Washington, D.C. The pair dated for close to a decade before marrying on September 25, 2010, in Potomac, Maryland.

Theirs remains her only marriage, and the couple has three children together: sons Henry Bernthal and Billy Bernthal, and a daughter, Adeline Bernthal. Erin stands at 163 cm (5 feet 4 inches) tall. Aside from her relationship with Bernthal, she has kept her dating history largely private and out of the public eye.

Erin’s family background places her firmly within a well-known wrestling lineage, since her father, Dave, is one of Kurt Angle’s brothers. Below is a closer look at who her parents are and their relationship to her.

Cindy Abbondanza Angle

Cindy Abbondanza Angle is Erin Angle’s mother. She raised Erin alongside five other children, four daughters and a son, in the family’s home state of Pennsylvania.

Cindy has largely stayed out of public attention, and details about her career and personal life outside of motherhood remain scarce in the available records.

What is known is that she played a central role in shaping Erin’s upbringing, instilling the family values and grounded outlook that Erin has since carried into her own marriage and approach to raising her children with Jon Bernthal.

Dave Angle

Dave Angle is Erin Angle’s father and one of the brothers of Olympic gold medalist and WWE legend Kurt Angle, making Erin a niece of the wrestling icon through her father’s side of the family.

Like Cindy and their children, Dave has kept a low public profile, and much of his personal history outside of his connection to the Angle wrestling family has not been widely documented.

Alongside Cindy, he helped raise Erin and her five siblings, Cassidy, Jackie, Kristen, Lea, and Mark, in a household connected by name and blood to one of professional wrestling’s most recognizable families, even as Erin herself went on to build an entirely separate career and life in healthcare.
