When did Teil know what her father did for a living?
Teil revealed in an interview when she started realizing what her father does for a living.
She said her parents took her and her brother everywhere and since her father worked behind the scenes as well, they had to be at the building or at the taping all day.
So she remembers her father worked in television and she kind of realized early on that he was somebody that was famous.
She further revealed that when they lived in Charlotte or Tampa, many people would come up to him and stop him so she knew that he was famous.
However, she didn't know he was into the wrestling profession until she was a little older like five or six years old.
The interviewer further asked her if she was scared seeing other wrestlers beating her father up or if her father had a talk with her about his profession.
She replied saying they never had such a conversation like the conversation he had with the boys.
She added she figured it out later but even when she was little and when she was older like in her 20s, she would see Rick places she would be so mad and she wouldn't want to go near him.
She finds the memory funny now.
She said she wouldn't get too scared though because she always remembers that her father would always come home and it would be just kind of normal at home.
However, she got nervous when her brothers Dustin and Cody began their wrestling journey.
She said her father was the best dad. He was such a big presence in their lives and he was always really supportive dad.
Her dad was more serious, more quite at home but he also loved to joked around, prank and he was funny.

Net Worth
Her brother, Cody, has a net worth of about $8 million.
Rumors Of Cody And His Old Partner Drew McIntyre Reunion
WWE champions Cody, Seth Rollins, and Shinsuke Nakamura teamed up to win a match on Monday Night RAW against a group called The Judgement Day.
But Nakamura surprised everyone by betraying his team after the win. This might lead to Seth Rollins facing Nakamura next.
As for Rhodes, he might need help to deal with Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio.
If Rhodes teams up with his old partner Drew McIntyre, their chances against The Judgment Day could be better.
They used to be a tag team more than 13 years ago and even won the Tag Team Championship together in 2010.
Their reunion could create a big story with the possibility of a rivalry between them.
Fans would likely be excited because both are very popular.
Drew McIntyre is currently not appearing in WWE often because of other commitments, but reaming up with Rhodes could be a good move for both of them.
It could also give Drew McIntyre a fresh start after losing at SummerSlam.
Cody Rhodes made a documentary about his authentic self and his late father.
