Where Does Titus O'Neil Live in Florida? The WWE Ambassador's Tampa Home Base
September 21, 2026 · 8 min read · By Onias Derilus, Broker
Titus O'Neil, born Thaddeus Bullard in Boynton Beach, lives in Tampa, Florida, where his Bullard Family Foundation runs some of the city's largest charity events. Here is what reporting says about his home, why he stayed in Tampa after football and WWE, his Palm Beach County roots, and what a family home costs in both places.
Where does Titus O'Neil live? The WWE Global Ambassador, whose real name is Thaddeus Bullard, lives in Tampa, Florida, and has for most of his adult life. He arrived to play arena football for the Tampa Bay Storm, stayed through his WWE career, and built the Bullard Family Foundation there. Unlike most names on this site, he has no reported mansion, no listing photos and no purchase price in the press. Here is what public reporting does say, and why Tampa is the answer.
Key takeaways
- O'Neil lives in Tampa, in Hillsborough County, where local media describe him as a resident and a civic figure.
- The price and size of his home were not reported. He keeps his family life off camera.
- He was born in Boynton Beach, in Palm Beach County, and grew up partly at the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch in Live Oak.
- His foundation is rebuilding Sligh Middle Magnet School in Tampa into a community hub, with a gym, a track and a turf field.
Where does Titus O'Neil live in Florida?
O'Neil lives in Tampa, the largest city on Florida's Gulf Coast and the seat of Hillsborough County. His own website lists Tampa as his home. WUSF public radio profiled him in 2024 as a Tampa resident who uses wrestling fame to give back. The Tampa Bay Times has covered his book signings in Carrollwood and his charity events across the city. Tampa is on the Gulf Coast, on the opposite side of the state from the counties Pure Equity serves. We cover it because the search interest is real.
The neighborhood has not been reported. O'Neil is unusual among Tampa's wrestling residents in that his house has never been the story. Coverage of him is about the 15,000 gifts his foundation hands out each December, the back-to-school events, and the middle school he adopted. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, and in his case there is nothing in the public record to withhold beyond the city itself.
Tampa is, in any case, the natural home for him. The city is the informal capital of professional wrestling, and WWE's Florida developmental system was based there when he signed in 2009. John Cena, Roman Reigns and the late Hulk Hogan all lived in the area during the same stretch.
Inside the reported Tampa home
There is no reported home to go inside, and this post does not invent one. No outlet has published a purchase, a sale, a square footage or a room count for the house. Real estate blogs that attach a dollar figure to his name are guessing. That is worth saying plainly, because the same blogs put confident numbers on other wrestlers' homes with no better sourcing.
What is on the record is how he uses the city. WFLA reported in 2020 that he helped remodel an East Tampa grandmother's home and surprised her with a new car. That is one of dozens of similar stories. His Joy of Giving event started with 800 gifts near his home in 2011. It now hands out more than 15,000 a year at a Tampa venue each December. And through a partnership with Hillsborough County Public Schools, the Bullard Family Foundation is turning Sligh Middle Magnet School into a community hub. The plan includes a new gym, a track and turf field, and what he calls a prosperity center for families.
He has written about all of this in his book, There's No Such Thing as a Bad Kid. He signed copies for fans at a Carrollwood bookstore in 2019. The book describes a childhood in poverty and the adults who invested in him. It also explains why his public life in Tampa looks the way it does.
Why Titus O'Neil chose Tampa
Football brought him. Bullard played defensive end at the University of Florida from 1995 to 2000, then had a brief run with the Jacksonville Jaguars. When the NFL did not stick, he played arena football, including seasons with the Tampa Bay Storm. Tampa became home during those years, and when WWE signed him in 2009 its Florida Championship Wrestling territory was based in the same city.
Family kept him. He has raised two sons, Thaddeus Jr. and Titus, in Tampa, and both played football locally. He has said in interviews that he wanted his sons to have the stability he did not have as a child. A settled home in one city, with the same schools and the same neighbors, was the point.
The city also gave him a platform. WWE named him its first Global Ambassador in 2020, and he received the company's Warrior Award the same year. Tampa hosted WrestleMania 37 in 2021, and O'Neil served as one of its hosts. ESPN named him a finalist for the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award. Each of those honors was tied to work he did in Tampa, so leaving would have meant starting over.
Where else does Titus O'Neil live?
Reporting does not describe a second home. O'Neil's roots are in South Florida: he was born in Boynton Beach, in Palm Beach County, to a teenage mother. He spent part of his youth at the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch in Live Oak, in north Florida, and he has said that the ranch changed his life. He returns to both places for charity work, but neither has a reported residence.
His WWE role takes him around the world, including to the company's Saudi Arabia events and to hospital and school visits on the road. None of that reporting points to a property outside Tampa. For a man whose foundation, book and civic work all sit in one city, that is not surprising.
What homes near Titus O'Neil cost
Tampa is outside Pure Equity's service area, but O'Neil's hometown is not. Boynton Beach sits in southern Palm Beach County between Delray Beach and Lake Worth. Its family neighborhoods are the closest South Florida equivalent to the Tampa suburbs where he lives now. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 1,860 active listings in Delray Beach, next door to Boynton. The median list price is near $279,000, and homes average about 115 days on market. That median covers a lot of condos; single-family homes run higher.
Buyers who want a gated family community in that part of the county look at Seven Bridges or The Bridges, both west of the city. Our gated communities page filters the county down to guard-gated neighborhoods, and the Palm Beach County page carries the county view.
For Tampa itself, our Hillsborough County page pulls live listings and market stats for the city and its suburbs. It is a data page rather than a service area, but the numbers update nightly.
