The AEW roster features stars who are emerging as exciting and captivating talents. Beyond the confines of the squared circle, they, too, have found love with their respective partners. For some of those lucky individuals, love culminated in marriage, and they have been living happily to this date.

On the other hand, there are some names on the current AEW roster who have found love and gotten married, but it did not end well for them the first time. Here is a look at the top four All Elite stars who tied the knot more than once due to one reason or another.

#5. Brian Cage

Brian Cage is one of the most imposing AEW stars on the roster. While he has been a dominant force inside the ring, his life outside the ring has been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride.

The Machine met his current wife, Melissa Santos, during his time in Lucha Underground, where Santos was a ring announcer. The couple tied the knot on July 12, 2019.

The couple has two children, a daughter and a son. However, Cage was married to another woman before Santos and also has a son from that relationship.

#4. Tay Melo

During her days of training for Judo, Tay Melo met and married fellow judoka Jorge Conti in 2017. However, their marriage lasted until 2021 when Melo announced that they had been separated for years.

She then met Sammy Guevara in AEW and began dating him in January 2022. The couple was heavily featured together on All Elite Wrestling television in the coming months. They tied the knot a few months later in August. Melo and Guevara welcomed a baby girl named Luna in November 2023.

#3. AEW's Director of Business Development, Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett married his high school love interest, Jill Gregory, on November 14, 1992. They had three daughters together. However, she left her family for the heavenly abode after losing a battle to breast cancer on May 23, 2007.

After she passed, Double J was romantically linked to Karen Angle in TNA Wrestling in 2009. The duo got engaged a year later and tied the knot on August 21, 2010. Jarrett is currently an on-screen talent and Director of Business Development on AEW.

#2. Cope

Adam Copeland was first married to Alannah Morley, the sister of his fellow WWE star, Val Venis. The couple got married on November 8, 2001, but divorced in 2004. Cope then married Lisa Ortiz on October 21 of that same year.

However, his second marriage also came to an end on November 17, 2005, when he began a real-life affair with WWE Hall of Famer Lita. He broke up The Extreme Diva in 2006. The Rated R Superstar started his relationship with Beth Phoenix in 2011, and the couple got married on October 30, 2016, after dating for nearly five years.

#1. Dustin Rhodes

The son of legendary Dusty Rhodes, Goldust (now known as Dustin Rhodes in AEW), had his fair share of failed marriages in his life.

His first marriage was to Terri Runnels, a former WWE manager, and the duo was featured together as a couple. They separated on October 18, 1999, after six years of marriage.

After his divorce, Rhodes married Milena Martelloni on December 18, 2002. However, he mentioned in his book that this relationship was short-lived and volatile. The Natural One got married for a third time to Ta-rel Marie Roche on June 22, 2012, and is very much in love with her to this date.
