Cobb and his family live in Nashville, TN during the offseason, as Cobb is a native of Tennessee. Per a story posted by ESPN, Cobb's wife, Aiyda, shared via Instagram that a Tesla charger in their house caught fire in the garage late [that[ night and quickly spread through their home.

Cobb and his wife were successfully able to remove their three young sons from the house, but their dog was still inside.
