AEW legend Cope is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He made a name for himself in WWE as Edge, where he was seen as the Ultimate Opportunist who took advantage of every chance to reach the top.
As much as his exploits in the ring are famous, his dating life has also been a subject of controversy in the past. In this article, let's take a look at three people the Rated R Superstar dated in real life.
#3. Lisa Ortiz
Cope began dating Lisa Ortiz when he was still married to his first wife, Alannah Morley. After he got a divorce from Alannah in 2004, he married Lisa that same year.

During this time, the Rated R Superstar's career in the WWE was just starting to take off as a singles star. While this happened, his personal life took a hit as he got divorced from his second wife due to his extramarital affair with fellow WWE star Lita.
#2. Lita
Lita and Cope's relationship caused a lot of drama. In 2005, The Extreme Diva was in a relationship with Matt Hardy while the former Edge was married to Lisa Ortiz. However, when Matt injured his knee, he had to take time off and was unable to travel. During this time, Lita became quite close to the current AEW star, and the two started a secret affair.
When Matt Hardy learned of this affair, he made the information public on the internet. As a result, he was released from WWE. However, fan backlash online forced the sports entertainment juggernaut to reconsider its decision and rehire Matt. The company even used their real-life heat in a storyline involving all three stars.
Lita was by Copeland's side during the peak of his WWE run when he won the WWE Championship for the first time. They were involved in many iconic and controversial segments. Due to all the negativity and backlash surrounding their relationship, the couple called it quits sometime in 2006.
#1. Cope is currently married to Beth Phoenix
Cope's relationship with Beth Phoenix began in 2011 during Edge Appreciation Night in Toronto after the Rated R Superstar announced his initial retirement. The two of them discovered they had a lot in common, and they started dating.
In 2013, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Lyric, and in 2016, their second daughter, Ruby, was born. They got married later that same year. The former Edge and Beth Phoenix have also made WWE appearances together.
Beth was even involved in the former Edge's feud with The Judgment Day. They teamed up at WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 to face the team of Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley.
It's good to see that the Rated R Superstar is living his best life with his family and is happy.
