A few female AEW stars are currently married to people who have never competed inside the squared circle.

Many couples currently work together in AEW. While a few are married, like Cody and Brandi Rhodes, others are dating, like Adam Cole and AEW Women's World Champion Britt Baker.

However, some AEW stars have fallen in love with people outside the industry. Sting, for example, is married to Sabine Glenn, a former personal trainer and current Executive Assistant at Dorado Exploration. Impact World Champion Christian Cage is also married to an ex-model.

Likewise, a few female AEW stars are now married to non-wrestlers. Their husbands work in different fields, including car sales and video game development.

Here are five female AEW stars who are married to non-wrestlers.


#5. AEW star Vickie Guerrero - Kris Benson

Vickie Guerrero has been married twice in her life. Her first husband was the late Eddie Guerrero. They tied the knot in 1990 and remained together until he tragically passed away in 2005.

Vickie Guerrero kicked off her wrestling career alongside Eddie in 2005, playing a part in the storyline between her husband and Rey Mysterio in WWE. Following her husband's death, Vickie played several on-screen roles in WWE, including becoming SmackDown and RAW General Manager.

In 2019, Vickie joined AEW to become Nyla Rose's manager. Four years earlier, the 53-year-old tied the knot for a second time. Vickie's second husband, Kris Benson, is not a wrestler and has never worked in the wrestling industry.

Benson owns an aerial imagery company called Kriskraft Aerial Recon. The company specializes in drone photography and filming and provides services to several markets, like real estate and construction.

Despite his wife's fame, Benson keeps a low profile. He is not active on social media as his last Instagram post dates back to 2019. Nonetheless, Vickie recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary by posting a few photos of herself and her husband and sending him a loving message.

#4. AEW star Tay Conti - Jorge Conti

AEW star Tay Conti was a martial artist, holding a black belt in judo and a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, before entering the pro wrestling industry. She kicked off her wrestling career in 2016, signing a developmental contract with WWE. The 26-year-old made her debut a year later.

While Tay is an abbreviation for her real first name, Taynara, Conti is not the 26-year-old's real last name. Nonetheless, it is her husband's.

Tay married her long-time boyfriend, Jorge Conti, in 2017. Like his wife, Jorge is a Brazilian Judo fighter. He has participated in several Judo competitions over the years, including world cups. The same year they married, he won a bronze medal at the US Open Fort Lauderdale U81kg tournament.

Since his wife entered the wrestling business, Jorge has been very supportive of her. However, the couple kept their private lives away from the spotlight. Tay rarely posts any photos of herself with her husband on social media. He also keeps his Instagram account private.

Tay Conti joined AEW in 2020 after being released from her WWE contract. She recently teamed up with Anna Jay to defeat Penelope Ford and The Bunny on AEW Dynamite.

#3. AEW star Thunder Rosa - Brian Cervantes

Thunder Rosa kicked off her wrestling career nearly seven years ago. She competed in a few promotions before joining AEW. Although he is not a wrestler, Rosa's husband Brian Cervantes also worked in the pro wrestling industry.

Cervantes is a promoter and co-owner of Mission Pro Wrestling. Nonetheless, he stepped down from his position as CEO last year:

"I fired myself this week. Basically, I'm on the market looking for a new job. With all honesty, with all the situation that you talked about, the changes, and with everyone coming out with all the horrible stories, I just felt it was time to give women a bigger platform so I decided to step down and turn the reins over to Thunder Rosa," Cervantes told Duke LovesRasslin in June 2020.

According to his Facebook profile, Cervantes has a few other non-wrestling jobs. He is currently working at Wonderland of the Americas, Youth Homes, and Roy Maas Youth Alternatives‎‏.‏

Thunder Rosa officially joined AEW earlier this year. She recently competed against Nyla Rose and Jade Cargill in a three-way match on AEW Rampage. Rosa came up short as Cargill emerged victorious.

#2. AEW star Dasha Gonzalez - Gabe Kuret

Before joining AEW, Dasha Gonzalez spent five years in WWE. She joined Vince McMahon's company in 2014 and made her NXT debut a year later. However, she later became a backstage interviewer.

In 2019, WWE released the 33-year-old from her contract. A few months later, she signed with Tony Khan's company to become one of the Spanish announcers.

Gonzalez has been married since the year she joined WWE. Her husband, Gabriel Kuret, is not in the wrestling business and has never set foot inside the squared circle.

Kuret works in the car business. According to his Facebook account, he is a former advisor at Aristocrat Volkswagen‎. He currently works at Central Florida Toyota‎‏ as a Production Manager. He has been working in the company since 2012.

Gonzalez's husband is an automotive and karting enthusiast, as he describes himself on Instagram. He launched his own YouTube channel‏, White Knuckle Racing, a few years ago. In 2019, Gonzalez appeared with her husband in a few of his YouTube videos.

Since joining AEW, Dasha Gonzalez has competed in only one match. She teamed up with Rachael Ellering to face Diamante & Ivelisse at the AEW Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament: Deadly Draw in August 2020 but came up short.

#1. AEW star Aubrey Edwards - Stephen Chiavelli

A few years before becoming an AEW star, Aubrey Edwards graduated from DigiPen Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Following her graduation, she became a video game producer.

Edwards is also married to a man who works in the video game industry. Her husband, Stephen Chiavelli, is also a DigiPen graduate and video game developer.

Chiavelli had previously tried his luck in pro wrestling. He competed for a few years in a promotion called 3-2-1 BATTLE!, where his wife later kicked off her refereeing career, too.

"My husband trained as a wrestler. He had been wrestling about a year and a half at that point, so we worked together a couple times. He recently retired. He’s a lot older than I am. They asked me to try it and I did and I sucked. I needed work. I started training. Two months later, I did my first show in July 2017," Edwards said on Talk Is Jericho last year.

Following his retirement from in-ring competition, Chiavelli focused on his work in the video game industry. According to his LinkedIn profile, he currently works as a Senior Software Engineer at Red Lens Games.

Chiavelli's wife joined AEW in 2019 to become the promotion's first full-time female referee.
