Levestia Huffman is the first wife of WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. They married in 1996 and divorced in 2001. She made one television appearance on WCW Monday Nitro in July 2000 and has maintained complete privacy since the divorce, with no confirmed public presence as of 2026.
Levestia Huffman married professional wrestler Booker T in 1996, appeared briefly on WCW television in 2000, and after their 2001 divorce, stepped completely out of public life. She has given no interviews, maintained no public social media presence, and left almost no traceable footprint in the two decades since.
Her name still draws searches. Most people want two things: confirmation that she is not the mother of actors Aldis and Edwin Hodge — a false claim that has spread across dozens of websites — and any honest answer to where she is now.
This article covers both. Every claim is either supported by a verifiable source or flagged as unconfirmed.

The Aldis and Edwin Hodge Claim Is False
This needs to be addressed first, because it is the most searched question attached to Levestia Huffman’s name — and the answer circulating online is wrong.
Levestia Huffman is not the mother of actors Aldis Hodge and Edwin Hodge.
The Hodge brothers’ parents are Aldis Basil Hodge and Yolette Evangeline Richardson, both U.S. Marines. This is documented across the brothers’ public biographies and their own statements.
The error appears to stem from a specific confusion: Booker T’s legal name is Robert Booker Tio Huffman. Early online biographical profiles used his real surname — Huffman — and some poorly researched sources appear to have connected this to the unrelated Hodge family, possibly because the brothers’ father shares the first name, Aldis. That error then spread through copy-paste publishing and was never corrected at the source.
Levestia and Booker T had no children together during their five-year marriage. This is consistent with available public records and has never been disputed.
What Is Publicly Known About Her Background
No verified information about Levestia Huffman’s early life, birthplace, or family has ever appeared in a public source. She has never given an interview, and no biographical records from before her marriage to Booker T have surfaced.
Her professional background, based on limited reporting from people who wrote about her in the late 1990s, was in business and organizational management. No specific employer, credential, or job title has been confirmed in the public record — either during the marriage or after the divorce.
This is not a research gap that can be filled with inference. She made a deliberate choice to stay out of public view, and she made that choice before the social media era made privacy genuinely difficult to maintain.
Marriage to Booker T: 1996–2001
Levestia and Booker T married on May 23, 1996, according to Harris County public records. At that point in his career, Booker T was competing primarily in tag team matches in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) alongside his brother Stevie Ray as part of Harlem Heat — one of the most prominent tag teams in the company at the time, with multiple WCW World Tag Team Championship reigns.
Over the five years of their marriage, Booker T transitioned from a tag team performer into a credible singles competitor. That arc culminated on July 9, 2000, when he won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at the pay-per-view event Bash at the Beach 2000 — the top title in the company. Levestia was married to him at that moment.
Their divorce was finalized on May 8, 2001, with papers filed in Harris County, Texas. This was just months after WWE purchased WCW in March 2001, following the promotion’s collapse.
Her Only Television Appearance
Levestia Huffman has one confirmed on-screen appearance in professional wrestling.
The night after Booker T’s championship win at Bash at the Beach 2000, WCW Monday Nitro featured a segment in which Jeff Jarrett — who was working as a villain on television at the time — attacked Levestia with a guitar. The spot was scripted and in keeping with Jarrett’s character during that period.
That segment is her only documented time on television. She did not pursue any further role in wrestling, entertainment, or any other public-facing capacity. Within a year, the marriage had ended, and the couple had withdrawn from public life.
Has Booker T Spoken About Levestia?
Not in any documented public forum.
Booker T has discussed difficult chapters of his life openly in various interviews and podcasts over the years, and his autobiography — Booker T: From Prison to Promise: Life Before the Squared Circle — covers his personal history in depth. However, no confirmed public statement from Booker T specifically discussing Levestia Huffman by name has been widely reported or cited.
His public narrative since 2001 has focused on his career resurgence in WWE, where he became a multiple-time world champion and commentator, and on his marriage to Sharmell Sullivan, whom he married on December 22, 2005. Booker T was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
The silence from both sides is consistent and unbroken.
Where Is Levestia Huffman Now? (2026)
No one in the public domain knows.
Public records from 2013 — the most recent unverified data point available — suggested she was living in Atlanta, Georgia. That information is now over 13 years old and has not been independently confirmed since.
As of 2026:
- No confirmed social media accounts exist on any major platform
- No interviews, public statements, or appearances have been documented since 2001
- No verified professional or business presence appears in public records
This level of absence is unusual even among people who deliberately step back from public life. Most individuals connected to well-known figures leave some kind of trace — a LinkedIn profile, a local news mention, a public business registration. Levestia has maintained an absence that predates Instagram and X, and has continued it through two decades of the intern, et becoming progressively harder to avoid.
What her life looks like today is genuinely unknown.
FAQs
Is Levestia Huffman the mother of Aldis and Edwin Hodge? No. The Hodge brothers’ parents are Aldis Basil Hodge and Yolette Evangeline Richardson, both U.S. Marines. The confusion traces back to Booker T’s real surname being Huffman, which appears to have triggered careless cross-referencing in early online biographies. Levestia had no children with Booker T.
Where is Levestia Huffman now in 2026? Her current location is not publicly known. The most recent public records, from 2013, suggested she was in Atlanta, Georgia. Nothing has been confirmed since.
Why do so many websites get her story wrong? The Hodge misinformation originated on a small number of early biography sites that confused Booker T’s real surname with the unrelated Hodge family. It spread through copy-paste republishing without verification. Because Levestia has never spoken publicly, there is no correction in her own voice to push back against it.
Did Levestia Huffman remarry after the divorce? No public information confirms or denies this. Her personal life since 2001 has been entirely private.
Has Booker T discussed Levestia publicly? No confirmed statements from Booker T specifically naming Levestia have been documented in interviews, podcasts, or his autobiography.
