Matt Rife sisters
American comic Matt Rife has four sisters named Taylor, Kenzie, Christina and Katie – one being his half sister and the other three being stepsisters.
This stems from Matt’s unique family situation.

Matt’s father, Mike committed suicide at age 20 when the young comic was only 17 months old!
From that moment onward, he never had a chance to have complete biological siblings.
April Rife, Matt’s mother, remarried Joseph ‘Joe’ Chilton and the couple welcomed one child, Taylor Chilton. Taylor was born in 2000, making her five years younger than Matt.
Matt Rife step dad Joe Chilton also came into the marriage with his own daughters, three daughters who are Matt Rife’s step sisters – Kenzie, Christina and Katie.
Kenzie is of an age with Matt Rife, having been born in 1995 just like him.

Matt Rife Biography
Matthew Steven Rife born September 10, 1995 is an American comedian and actor.
Known professionally as Matt Rife, the comic made waves due to his self-produced comedy specials Only Fans (2021), Matthew Steven Rife (2023) and Walking Red Flag (2023), as well as his recurring role on the sketch improv comedy and rap show, Wild ‘n Out.
Matt Rife catapulted to fame after landing a Netflix special, Natural Selection, released in 2023 and a worldwide tour.
Rife was born in Columbus, Ohio, and grew up in North Lewisburg.
His father, Michael Eric Gutzke, died by suicide when Rife was 17 months old and his mother, April, would go on to remarry one Joe Chilton.
Matt is an open book about his father’s suicide and sometimes even jokes about it.
“My mom said it was just probably depression, and he was living with his dad at the time who was a massive alcoholic.
“I guess the story is, my dad came home drunk to his dad’s hotel and was talking about killing himself, and apparently, his dad was egging him on, like, ‘You won’t do it,’ is the story, I suppose. I don’t know.”
Matt also said his father doesn’t really believe he was his child.
“I don’t look like anybody in my family … My mom also likes to talk about how I kind of look like a guy she dated in high school. So I’m like, should we do a f—ing DNA test?
“My mom also said that my dad didn’t believe I was his because they weren’t together when I was born. He made her take a paternity test, and I don’t think I ever got a definitive answer of how it came back.”
Either way, following his death Rife’s biggest influence was his grandfather, Steven.
Rife first took an interest in comedy at 14 years old, when a teacher said that there would be a talent show at his high school.
On the urging of one of his friends, he entered the talent show as a comic and started performing professionally a year later at 15.
Career
As a comedian, Rife is best known for his self-produced comedy specials: Only Fans (2021), Matthew Steven Rife (2023) and Walking Red Flag (2023), as well as his appearance on Bring the Funny in 2019, where he advanced to the Semi-Final Showcase but was eliminated in week 8.
As an actor, he is known for his guest roles on the sketch comedy and improv game show series Wild ‘n Out, as Brandon Bliss on the comedy television series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and as Logan on the sitcom television series Fresh Off the Boat.
Matt Rife has stated his two biggest comedy influences as Dave Chapelle and Ricky Gervais.
“They’re both prolific comedians and writers and performers. And I would say they’re top three of all time,” he said of the legendary duo.
“Both of their senses of humor and opinions and views on things are completely in line with how I think about things. And I think their style of comedy is definitely something I emulate, unintentionally.”
Rife also found fame on Tiktok.
That began in the summer of 2021, when he posted a video in which he roasted an audience member who broke up with her boyfriend, an emergency room worker, because he “didn’t do anything.”
His response: “Oh, I’m sorry—you broke up with a hero?” Whoops of laughter ensued, the video went viral. He has since gained the moniker of Tiktok comedian.
Siblings
Matt Rife has four siblings – three step sisters and one half sister.
His half sister, Taylor, was born to his mother April and his step father, Joe Chilton.
Joe entered his second marriage with three children – daughters Christina, Kezia and Katie – Matt’s step sisters.
In regards to his relationships, Matt Rife dated English actress Kate Beckinsale between 2017 and 2018.
He also dated Lucy Hale before moving on to his current girlfriend, Jessica Lord.
Lord is an English dancer and actress who has known the comedian for several years.
It was confirmed in June 2023 that the two were in a relationship.
“It’s newer, but I mean I do prefer to keep it on the more private side. Just because, I mean, people are literally insane,” he told People in October 2023.
He also added that Lord has been “so important to my infrastructure,” when planning out his daily routine.
“She forces me to take personal time, obviously, and I love that. Whenever she’s like, ‘Can we have tomorrow for ourselves?’ I’m like, ‘Thank you. I would love to have that.’ ”
