WWE stars may have a reputation for being powerful fighters, but even the strongest men need an even more powerful woman by their side. These pro wrestling stars have picked some pretty inspirational women to call their partner.
Sable the Diva
Sable is a well-known fighter in her own right, as is one of the original WWE Divas. Thanks to her time in the limelight and her own insight into the world of professional wrestling, Sable knew she had found a kindred spirit when she met WWE megastar, Brock Lesner. The two found joy and happiness in their connection and decided to make it official in 2006 with a wedding ceremony. Sable and Brock have welcomed two lovely sons together, named Turk and Duke. Fun fact- Sable is 10 years older than Brock!
Stone Cold Steve Austin Finds Love
The legendary Texas Rattlesnake, also known as Stone Cold Steve Austin, is largely attributed to leading the WWE into a golden age of wrestling. Stone Cold Steve Austin is not without his suitors- plenty of women just love this stone-cold hunk. It was one woman, however, that caught this star’s eye. Kristen Feres, stole Stone Cold Austin’s heart and has kept it safe ever since. Despite his past failed marriages, this one seems to be it for the couple. Kristen and Stone Cold Steve Austin split their time between California and Texas.
The Miz and His Love, Maryse Ouellet
One of the reasons we love The Miz and Maryse’s relationship so much is how public and open they are about showing their love for one another. The two often share photos and videos of them loving life, exploring and exposing their general happiness. Their open displays of affection have garnered them thousands of followers on social media. The two got married in February of 2014, and since then Maryse can be spotted cheering on her main man from the sidelines.
The Big Show Finds Big Love
The Big Show and his love, Bess Katramados, might make for an unusual couple at site. Bess is a petite, blonde, and sweet-looking lady. Especially next to the seven-foot-tall hulk-like Big Show. Don’t be fooled by her stature, though. Bess is one tough woman to have such a big superstar wrapped around her little finger. Bess and The Big Show got married in 2002, and have two beautiful children together. Since his retirement in February of 2018, the two are enjoying quality time together.
Randy Orton and Kimberly Kessler
Kelly Kessler started out as a major fan of WWE star Randy Orton. After the couple first met back in 2014, Orton took Kimberly with him as his date to the WWE Hall of Fame Induction. Kimberly reports she could not believe her luck at getting to date someone she’d been such a fan of for so long. The two’s relationships progressed and Kimberly’s dreams came true when, in 2016, Randy got down on one knee and asked Kimberly to be his wife.
Nitro Girl and Sean Michaels
We love when two wrestlers get together! A couple with a shared background can bond over insights into the industry, fame, and of course, their love of wrestling. Nitro Girl, whose name is Rebecca Curci, had her eye on Sean Michaels, despite his reputation as a heartbreaker. Rebecca captured Sean’s heart and he immediately knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. The two got married spontaneously while on a trip to Las Vegas in 1999. They have lived happily together ever since, and the two have two kids together.
Shane McMahon’s High School Sweetheart
This is a match made in WWE royalty. WWE’s Executive Vice President of Global Media is Shane McMahon. His dad happens to be the WWE CEO, Vince McMahon. And if that were not enough connections into the WWE world, Shane is also the brother of Diva Stephaine. Despite his WWE fame and family connections, there has only ever been one girl for Shane McMahon- his high school sweetheart, Marissa Mazzola. The two have been married since 1996, and live in New York City with three sons.
Kevin Owens Loves Karina Steen
Kevin Owens is known for his major WWE moment when we slammed the popular and nearly unbeatable John Cena to the ground. Kevin then stomped on John Cena’s belt with ecstatically in a show of victory. That was the moment that put Kevin Owens on the WWE map. Though that was a magical and memorable moment for Owens, it does not compare to the moment he met his beautiful wife, Karina Steen.
Mike and Maria, Manager and Client
Maria Kanellis found love within the wrestling world, in more than one way. Her career started out as a WWE Diva, and many predicted major success in her future. Maria, however, pivoted from being a WWE Diva and instead became a manager. She is not a manager for just anyone though, her client happens to be her husband- Mike Bennett! Wrestler Mike Bennet is perhaps not as well-known as Maria herself, but she has a thing or two to do about that.
Harminder Kaur – The Great Khali
Dalip Sing Rana, otherwise known as The Great Khali, is an Indian-American wrestler who’s married to Hamnider Kaur by a traditional arranged marriage, interestingly enough. These two didn’t go through the usual dating process and simply got married in 2002. Hamnider was an actress before marrying Dalip. Dalip and Hamnider got married 2 years before Dalip began his successful wrestling career. In 2014, the couple welcomed their daughter.
Tyson Kidd’s Sweetheart
Those who follow WWE gossip will know that Tyson Kidd and Nattie Neidhart’s relationship has been anything but smooth. Nattie, also known as Natalya, appeared on the show Total Divas and supplied viewers with a nearly endless amount of juicy material. Her turbulent personal life was shared openly throughout the show. Tyson and Nattie have been together ever since 2001, and have been no strangers to ups and downs. The two remain strong though- no matter what life throws at them.
Beth Phoenix and The Edge
Beth Pheonix is a well-known and mich beloved WWE figure. During her time as a WWE Diva, beth earned impressive titles like WWE Divas Championship and three other WWE WOmen’s Championships. She was also the youngest person ever to become a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. It’s no wonder this powerful lady found love within the wrestling industry. Beth and Edge married in 2016 and since then have welcomed two adorable daughters into the world. These two are definitely WWE goals!
Reby and Matt Hardy
The road to love for Reby and Matt Hardy was not always smooth. The couple is no stranger to marital issues and the couple has a history of reported domestic issues. Since then, however, the couple seems to have found common ground and moved on to have a lovely marriage. Matt is perhaps best known as his time as part of the duo with his brother Jeff in the Hardy Boys. We are wishing nothing but success for this couple as they continue to navigate life together.
“The King” and Lauryn Lain McBride
Jerry “The King” Lawler is known for being not only a top-notch wrestler, but also an incredible WWE commentator. Those who know WWE, know that his commentary skills have brought humor and insight into many a match. “The King” endured three failed marriages until he met his love, Lauryn Lane McBride. The two may have a large age gap, but that has not stopped them from getting engaged and living life together. We’re wishing this happy couple lots of love.
Jackie and Charlie Haas in Love
Jackie Gayda-Haas and Charlie Haas have found love, and business, together. The couple has leveraged their WWE experience and history in fitness and sport into a nutrition business.

We can’t wait to see what else is in store for this beautiful couple.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson found love with Lauren Hashian. Both are used to the spotlight, as Lauren’s father is the famous drummer of the rock band, Boston. It was important for the Rock to find someone who would understand his fame and would be comfortable with it. Lauren and the Rock have two daughters, in addition to a child from his previous marriage to Dany Garcia.
Jimmy Uso and Naomi
This is a fantastic wrestling duo who had their love written in the stars! As the son of Rikishi, Jimmy Uso was able to build and maintain a successful solo career within the WWE. Naomi, who was part of the show Total Divas, was eventually taken off the show when she married Uso. Since then, she has showed the world her true skills by taking the WWE Women’s Championship. No telling what wonderful things are in store for this dynamic duo.

You may know him as Roman Reigns, but did you know that his real name is actually Letai Joseph Anoa’i? Roman was actually a Division 1 football player in college when he met his future wife, Galina Becker. The two found shared interests over being Florida natives and enjoyed a normal relationship and courtship before the fame set in. After a two-year engagement, Galina and Roman married, and welcomed a daughter Joelle. Their love is definitely founded on something authentic and lasting.

This couple is just too cute! The WWE world knows her as Laurel Van Ness, but her partner Zack Ryder knows her as Chelsa Ann Green. The two have been making major ways within the wresting world lately.

Laurel and Zack have been together since 2016, with no doubt for many happy years ahead of them.
Rusev and Lana
Lana and Rusev are a couple made in WWE matchmaking heaven. There are some things about Lana that you may not realize. Her think Eastern European accent, for example, is not real.

Superstar Sasha Banks and Sarath Ton
What a powerful and ferocious woman Sasha Banks is! Sasha won the iconic Summerslam which is a major achievement. Even better? A few days later she married her love, Sarath Ton.

Bo Dallas and his wife Sarah Backman are one seriously stunning couple that puts many hours in at the gym perfecting their physiques. Sarah is no stranger to the wrestling world.

Unfortunately, Sarah did not make the cut unprofessional wrestling, but no doubt has many other great things in store. Keep an eye out for future success for this stunning duo.
The Odd Couple: Meredith Whitney and John Layfield
At first glance, Meredith Whitney and John Layfield are not your ordinary wrestling couple. Yes, they are gorgeous and powerful, but the two have very different careers. Meredith is a financial analyst, and John Layfield has enjoyed a long and lustrous WWE career. You may know him by his personas such as JBL or Bradshaw of the Acolytes. The couple got married in 2005, and is doing great. In 2015, they relocated to Bermuda, so no doubt life is good.
The Jarretts
Karen Jarret is one of the only women on this list to have been married to not one, but two WWE wrestlers. No doubt she has found love within the WWE community.

Kurt and Karen have two kids together and both look as beautiful as ever. At 45, Karen is gorgeous, successful, and on a great path.

Ambrose became smitten with the gorgeous reporter and her infectious sense of humor.

Renee has trained to be a stand-up comic, so keep an eye out for what she’ll do next.
Kori and Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston has made a reputation for himself as a master at death-defying Royal Rumble saves. Anytime Kofi is thrown out of the ring, he somehow manages to bounce right back in and pick up the fight where he left off. When he isn’t making WWE history, Kofi is enjoying a sweet life with his rock, Kori Campfield. The couple has welcomed two children together, and happily reside in Tampa, Florida.
Booker T and Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman
You may know Booker T from his catchphrases like “Can you did it sucker?” The WWE superstar married his wife Sharmell, and since then the two have referred to themselves as King Booker and Queen Sharmell. The couple has twins and are loving their life together, even though both are retired and out of the WWE spotlight. Booker even decided to run for mayor of Houston in 2019. No doubt big things, and more catchphrases, are ahead for this gorgeous family.
Sad News for Bray Wyatt and Samantha Rotunda
Unfortunately, this couple is one of the more sad stories on this list. Samantha Rotunda and Bray Wyatt married in 2012 and throughout their five years together welcomed two kids. From the outside, things appeared to be going well. A closer look, however, reveals a different story. Samantha discovered that Bray was having an affair with WWE announcer, Jojo Offerman.

One thing is for certain, Jack and Catalina are one fine looking couple
