Biography
Michael Ryan Pritchard, now known as Mike Dirnt, was born on May 4, 1972. Mike's mother was a heroin addict. He was given up for adoption when he was a baby to a Native American mother and a white father. When he was 7, his adoptive parents got a divorce. Mike lived with his father for a while, but confrontations sent him back to his mother. He lived there on the borderline of proverty, while his sister left home at the age of 13. "There were all sorts of things happening," says Mike. "When I was in fourth or fifth grade, my mom stayed out all night, came home the next day with a guy, and he moved in. I'd never met the guy before, and all of a sudden he's my stepdad. We didn't get along for years. Later on, when I hit high school, my mom moved away from us, and me and my stepdad got real close. He instilled a lot in me. The one thing my family did give me is blue-collar morals. But then he died when I was 17." Mike married his long-time girlfriend Anastacia in 1996, and their daughter, Estella-Desiree, was born in April 1997. Mike loves his daughter very much, and his nickname for her is "Hero." Today, Mike and Anastacia are divorced but still remain very good friends. He remarried in 2004 to Sarah, however his wife left him because he was spending too much time in the studio recording American Idiot. Mike married his wife, Brittney, in March of 2009. He and Brittney welcomed the birth of their son, Brixton Michael, on October 11, 2008. He and his family now reside in Oakland, California. Mike also owns a cafe/resturant named Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe, named after a song by the Clash. The cafe is located in Emeryville, CA.
