The "It Couple" are surprisingly one of the longest lasting couples in the WWE. The duo met in 2006 when Maryse tried out for the "Divas Search" competition, which a new to the company Miz was tasked with hosting. Despite a rocky start, the two have been inseparable ever since; marrying in 2014 and welcoming daughter Monroe Sky Mizanin in March of this year.

At first glance, perhaps one of the most surprising couples of WWE, The Bulgarian Brute & The Ravishing Russian met during their days in NXT, where they began their relationship in 2013. Minor controversies aside, these two seem about as a solid as they come. They were married in 2016, holding two ceremonies; one in the USA and one in Rusev's home country of Bulgaria (for which Nattie & Naomi traveled to be Lana's bridesmaids), and have remained an on-screen duo for the vast majority of their WWE careers.

They quietly began dating in 2013, with Punk announcing their already rumored engagement in May 2014. The couple was married in June 2014 on the rooftop of their Chicago home.

This seemingly unlikely duo met when Brock first joined WWE in 2002. Lesnar is known for being intensely private, so there isn't a ton known about this couple. Despite their ten year age difference, and even breaking off their engagement once, the two were married in May 2006 and are parents to sons Turk (b. 2009) & Duke (b. 2010). Sable became stepmother to Brock's twin daughters from a previous engagement, and Brock became stepfather to Sable's grown daughter Mariah.

Did you really think I could make this list without including WWE's ultimate power couple? Marred in controversy from the very beginning, this couple began dating in 2000, while involved in an on-screen romance. The WWE's Chief Brand Officer (and boss' daughter) and the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative have been married since October 2003. Rumors, innuendo & speculation aside, the pair have remained a solid couple and united front. They are parents to three daughters; Aurora Rose Levesque (b. 2006), Murphy Claire Levesque (b. 2008) & Vaughn Evelyn Levesque (b. 2010).
