WWE relationships have been sparking all over the company in recent years, with several couples even going on to marry and welcome children. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were a surprising addition to the list when their relationship was publicly revealed in 2019 before the couple married and welcomed a daughter.

Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae also recently announced that they were expecting their first child. However, for every relationship that makes it down the aisle, several others aren't built to last.

The following list looks at just 10 current WWE Superstars that you may not know were once in a relationship, but now continue to work together.


5. Humberto Carrillo and Kayden Carter

Humberto Carillo has been featured on Monday Night RAW and 205 Live in recent years but hasn't appeared on the company's main show since his recent feud with Sheamus.

Carrillo was the man who injured the current United States Champion's face but was unable to take away the title. Outside the ring, the Mexican star is happily married to Tania Ramirez. The couple announced their engagement publicly back in 2019, before then marrying just two months later.

Whilst Carrillo is now married, there was a time before the star made his way to WWE where he was in a relationship with fellow star Kayden Carter. At the time, Carter was known as Lacey Lane and the duo worked together for several companies outside of WWE, but it's believed the split took place before either star was signed to the company.

Kayden Carter has become one of WWE's most exciting female performers on NXT in recent years and it appears that there is now a focus on the female division. She could be one of the stars heading to the main roster in the coming months. Carter was most recently seen in NXT as part of a team with Kacy Catanzaro and the duo appear to be looking for a Women's Tag Team Championship shot in the near future.

Whilst Carter and Carrillo currently work on separate WWE brands, the duo have seemingly remained close friends, along with Carrillo's cousin Angel Garza.

4. Paige and Xavier Woods

Paige hasn't been featured on WWE TV for more than a year but is still currently contracted to the company, whilst Xavier Woods is working on Monday Night RAW.

Paige and Woods worked together in NXT for several years and their social media posts made it clear that the couple were close friends. It wasn't until a certain video was leaked online that it became clear that Woods and Paige were much more than just friends.

After a number of speculated reasons that led to their breakup, the two stars have now put the situation behind them and have been able to continue to work together. Woods has since moved on to welcome a child with his girlfriend Jess Watson, whilst Paige is now in a relationship with Falling in Reverse lead singer Ronnie Radke.

Paige retired from active wrestling with WWE at the beginning of 2018 and has since held several roles in the company that didn't include physically wrestling. It's currently unclear what the future holds for the former Divas Champion given recent rumors regarding her in-ring return.

3. Cesaro and Sara Amato

Cesaro is one WWE Superstar who has opted to keep his personal life as private as possible throughout the course of his career.

It was revealed a number of years ago that the former United States Champion was in a relationship with fellow WWE Superstar Sara Amato, who is professionally known as Sara Del Rey.

The couple was pictured together several times out in public up until 2019, but it appears there have been no updates regarding either star's relationship status since then. Both stars have Instagram and Twitter accounts and there have been no images shared on either account of the couple for a number of years.

Amato currently works at WWE's Performance Center and her Twitter page notes that she is the "WWE/NXT Director of Women's Wrestling."

Following Bill DeMott's resignation from WWE back in 2015, Amato was promoted to head coach at the company's Performance Center and currently works alongside former on-screen talent Matt Bloom.

Cesaro has recently been part of a feud against Seth Rollins on WWE TV, and was even pushed towards the Universal Championship on SmackDown earlier this year.

2. Toni Storm and Tyler Bate

Toni Storm recently made her debut on WWE's main roster after spending several years climbing through the ranks in the company, starting out in NXT UK.

Storm's ex-boyfriend Tyler Bate famously won the first-ever WWE United Kingdom Tournament to become WWE UK Champion in 2017, which catapulted the 19-year-old to stardom.

Over the past few years, Tyler Bate has featured heavily on NXT and even made a handful of appearances on the main roster and 205 Live, before finding his place on NXT UK.

The couple dated for several years ahead of their association with WWE, before their relationship came to an end and reports suggested it could have been rekindled back in 2019.

In the years that have followed, Bate has been linked to fellow WWE superstar Liv Morgan, whilst Storm is currently in a relationship with NJPW star Juice Robinson.

Storm currently performs for WWE on their SmackDown brand following her recent promotion, whilst Tyler Bate is currently an integral part of the NXT UK brand.

1. Dolph Ziggler and Dana Brooke

Dolph Ziggler has quite the dating resume when it comes to current and former WWE Superstars.

Perhaps the most well-known female wrestler that Dolph Ziggler once dated was Nikki Bella. The two were in a relationship up until 2012 when the former Divas Champion moved onto an ill-fated six-year romance with John Cena.

Whilst Ziggler was part of several episodes of Total Divas and tried to win Nikki back, this was obviously a storyline for the show since Ziggler himself has moved on to several relationships since then.

Ziggler famously dated comedian Amy Schumer, who then revealed publicly that she broke up with the former WWE Champion via text message. The Showoff then moved on to a relationship with current WWE star Dana Brooke. The duo dated for several months whilst Brooke was part of NXT, but their relationship was short-lived.

Dana Brooke announced earlier this year that she was now engaged to professional boxer Ulysses Diaz. Ziggler has opted to keep his relationships private in recent years.
