Personal Life
In 1993 on Rage Against The Machine's Funkdoobiest tour with Cypress Hill, Wilk met Selene Vigil while she was the lead vocalist in the now defunct band 7 Year Bitch. Wilk married Vigil in 2005, and since has had two children with her, Luka and Alex.
Wilk is a vegetarian, and has converted to Buddhism.
Wilk has mentioned a weird connection to the number 3 throughout his life, and little "3"'s are plastered all over his drumkit, and as well as in the liner notes for Rage Against the Machine's third album, The Battle of Los Angeles. In an interview with Modern Drummer Wilk said "Ever since I was eight or nine I've gravitated to the number three. It's something that has always been a really heavy number for me. It's tattooed on my arm, and I count in threes. Everyone in school was taught two, four, six, eight, ten- I'd count in threes in the way I'd walk, even in the decisions I'd make. It was all based on threes," and also incorporates 3 into his playing.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
