Marissa Deegan is 46 years old. She was born in Riverside County, California, on August 29, 1977, in the United States of America. She is an American citizen of Caucasian descent and was born under the Virgo zodiac sign.
Deegan’s father’s name is Randy Shay, however, no one seems to know the identity of her mother. While the minute details of her childhood haven’t yet been revealed, several reports state that she is one of six siblings, all of whom were primarily raised single-handedly by her mother.

Marissa Deegan Has Been Brian Deegan’s Wife for over 19 years
The 46-year-old celebrity wife and mother have been married for a few decades and her love story is one of the sweetest ever. She and her athlete husband, Brian, allegedly met back when they were teenagers. What began as puppy love soon blossomed into a mature, serious romance that lasted throughout their teens till their late twenties.
They dated for approximately eight years, and even had their first child together, before finally deciding to get hitched. Their wedding ceremony was surprisingly small and only had about 20 people in attendance, including close family members. When they were getting married, Marissa was 26 years old while her baby daddy was 29, meaning Brian was only three years older than Marissa.
At the time, Brian was beginning to make waves in the motocross world and had just won two gold medals at the 2002 Aspen Winter games and the 2003 Los Angeles Moto X games respectively. Their marriage has been relatively open to the public, but there have been no scandals or controversies surrounding them in about 30 years of being together.
Marissa Deegan’s Children
Marissa and Brian have three children; Hailie, Hudson, and Haiden Deegan. Their first child and only daughter, Hailee Deegan, was born on July 18, 2001, in Temecula, California. She was born over two years before her parents got married and is 22 years old.
Hailie Deegan isn’t just the spitting image of her famous father in looks, she also took after him in her career as well. This is mainly since she grew up among racers. Before she got into high school, Hailie had already picked up a serious interest in the sports and was constantly participating in teenage car racing competitions.
As a high school student of Rancho Christian High School, Temecula, California, Hailie began racing by riding dirt bikes and off-road racing. She made the transition to asphalt in 2016 and began pursuing a career in stock car racing professionally in 2018.
That same year, she competed in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, becoming the first female driver to win two races in the West Series, first in 2018 and then in 2019. In 2021, Hailie won the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the category, ‘Most Popular Driver’.
In over 4 years as a professional racer, Hailie Deegan has competed in about 37 races in total. The starlet racer competes full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and drives the No. 1 Ford F-150 for David Gilliland Racing. She is also presently a Ford Performance driver and used to be one of the development drivers for Toyota Racing.
Hailie Deegan is said to be in a relationship with dirt track racer and former NASCAR driver Chase Cabre, who was also her co-driver in the 2022 Mint 400 races. Her younger brothers Haiden and Hudson, aged 16 and 11 respectively, have taken after their older sister and are also interested in motocross racing.
Marissa’s youngest child, Haiden, was born on January 10, 2006, and is a regular contender at the youth motocross races in North Carolina. His younger brother Hudson was born on March 16, 2011, and is the youngest racer in the family. His biggest achievement so far has been making the list of riders for the Team Star Yamaha race. He also goes by the nickname DangerBoy Deegan and has customized merch which he sells at his family’s sports outfit.
