She further wrote that the sole purpose of her Twitter account is to troll her husband Matt Walsh.
On her Instagram bio, she also wrote she is the wife of @mattwalshblog, she is a mother and she has mentioned an Amazon link that leads to a book named The Lantern House by Erin Napier.
Met her husband through online dating
During an interview with The Iced Coffee Hour, Matt revealed how he met his wife.
He said he met Alissa through the eHarmony online dating site when he was 24 years old.
They first met when Matt was a radio DJ and Alissa had graduated from her university.
Alissa was the first person Matt met on the site. They started communicating on the phone and continued for several weeks.
He then revealed that the first thing he noticed about her was how beautiful she was but later he was clear that she was a very serious person.
He didn’t mean like a person who cannot laugh but she is also very joyful.
On their first date, Matt went to pick Alissa up by driving for two and a half hours and took her to dinner in Baltimore.
They talked for about two hours and Matt knew she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
He said they related and their fundamental values and principles kind of aligned and he never quite had that to the extent he did with his wife.
He also said that opposite attracts and he is quite the opposite of Alissa in lots of ways but their values and the things that motivate them are the same.
He also thought she was just a warm affectionate personality and a beautiful woman.
He added that they talked about interesting things and they could talk about anything like politics, religion, and all that which people say not to talk about on the first date.
He was like of course he is going to marry her, what else he is going to do? Wait for something else?
He added that was what he wanted and he knew what he was looking for and once you found that person, you won.
However, they had to be in a long-distance relationship for a year and a half. Matt used to drive 260 miles per week just to spend time with her.
Money was tight so sometimes they used to meet halfway to split gas money and spend time at a roadside Cracker Barrel.
Matt Proposed Alissa Ann In A Creative Way
Matt and Alissa Ann Linnemann got married on October 29, 2011. They are proud parents of six kids. They have two sets of twins.
After being in a relationship for six months, Matt proposed to her in a very creative way. He had the whole engagement planned.
He said he had this whole idea which he thought was pretty good.
He was going to take a shell as they lived near the beach at the time and he was going to place the ring in a shell on the beach.
He would then take Alissa to the beach and they would walk along and then he would say, look at that, she would pick it up and open it and see the ring in it.
His plan was successful. However, he later found out that his plan didn’t go as he had hoped. She had it all figured out before the surprise.
During an interview, Matt was asked if he proposed to his wife way too soon. To which he replied saying the duration of dating doesn’t matter.
He said he doesn’t understand a couple moving in together to find out each other's quirks and pet peeves as people have quirks, and they are going to do some stuff that annoys other people but if one allows that to be a deal breaker then that person might end up alone.
Once one gets married, it doesn’t matter if they dated for 10 days or 10 years as marriage happens it's sort of like you are starting at square one and you are still going to have the first day of marriage and a new phase of a relationship.
He said he doesn’t believe in finding a soulmate and finding the one.
He said you find a person whom you line up with in this way and you become the one when you say I do. It's like you are choosing each other and not a destiny.
Matt Is Taking A Pause From DWTS Until Writers Strike Ends

The strike, which has been ongoing for an extended period, continues as negotiations between the Writers Guild and media companies persist.

Matt's Tweet Created A Drama Involving Elon Musk
There is a documentary called What Is A Woman?, hosted by Matt and directed by Justin Folk.
They planned to promote it on Twitter, but Twitter initially said it violated their rules.
Then Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, stepped in and changed Twitter’s decision and promoted the documentary himself.
This caused a big argument on Twitter. Some people were happy with Elon Musk's support, while others said he was promoting right-wing ideas.
The discussion got heated, with some people calling others names.
People also debated whether the concerns of transgender individuals were more important than those of cisgender women in certain situations.
Some users questioned why a person who uses masculine pronouns discussed what it means to be a woman.
Others responded with jokes and memes.
There were even arguments about whether people should be allowed to do whatever makes them happy as long as it does not harm others.
Some said there is such a thing as objective morality.
Ultimately, Elon Musk's actions led some advertisers like Ben & Jerry’s to leave Twitter.
It‘s unclear if Twitter’s new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, will be able to bring the advertiser back.
