Dustin Rhodes is currently signed with AEW. He is better known as Goldust. He portrayed the much-acclaimed Goldust gimmick during his time in WWE.
In 2019, Rhodes made the move to AEW as a coach as well as an in-ring competitor. He is the half-brother of Cody Rhodes.
Dustin Rhodes’ daughter is Dakota Avery Runnels, and she is the only child from his first marriage with former WWE Superstar Terri Runnels. Dakota has been working in AEW as a photographer. She is 27 years old and does some fine work behind the scenes in AEW events. Dakota also does photoshoots for AEW talents.
She took to Twitter on the occasion of Father’s Day and posted a heartfelt tweet for her father. The talented youngster wrote:
“Happy Father’s Day to the best, @dustinrhodes ! You used to be the father of an only child, but now you’re almost everybody’s work dad and I love that for you. Thank you for always being here for me, uplifting me, and teaching me, I love you so much #FathersDay“
Dustin Rhodes made his wrestling debut back in 1988. Since then, he has plied his trade on several promotions and achieved substantial success.
The 53-year-old former 9-time WWF Hardcore Champion was overwhelmed upon seeing the tweet from his daughter. The proud father replied:
“I love you soooo much. Knowing that I am with you every week is just the greatest thing ever. Nothing more important to me than your happiness bug. I love you and am super proud of you.”
Dakota’s parents got married in 1993 before getting divorced on October 18, 1999.
