#5. WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam (married)

Last month, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Katie Forbes, in a private ceremony in Las Vegas. Several wrestlers attended the wedding, including former WWE Superstars Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux.

Forbes is Van Dam's second wife. The former WWE Champion had previously been married to Sonia Delbeck. However, the couple separated in 2015 and finalized their divorce in 2018.

Nearly a year following his separation from his first wife, Van Dam met Forbes at a wrestling convention. They fell in love and started dating in 2016. Forbes is also a professional wrestler. She is best known for her time in IMPACT Wrestling. The couple even appeared together in IMPACT Wrestling as Forbes became Van Dam's valet during his angle with Sami Callihan last year.

RVD has not competed in WWE since 2014. His last match came in August 2014 when he lost to Seth Rollins on SmackDown. His last appearance was on the RAW Reunion episode in July 2019. The 51-year-old entered the Hall of Fame this year. Van Dam and Forbes attended the ceremony together.

The WWE Hall of Famer has only competed in two matches in 2021. His first match came in April as he defeated Ben McCoy at Frontline Pro 26: Honor Bound. In his second bout, he teamed up with Bully Ray to defeat Marq Quen and Matt Hardy at Battleground Championship Wrestling Debut Show.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (split)

In mid-2016, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (FKA Bubba Ray Dudley) started dating former two-time TNA Knockouts Champion Velvet Sky.

Bully Ray and Sky were both working in IMPACT Wrestling when they first met. Although they never teamed up together in an official match, the former Knockouts Champion disclosed that the WWE Hall of Famer was supportive of her and helped her believe in herself.

"I am so grateful to have Mark in my life. We talk about wrestling a lot together and he has an amazing mind for the business, but he is also an incredible person. He’s very supportive of me and so inspiring. He is so motivating and helps me believe in myself," she told Sports Illustrated in May 2016.

The couple's relationship lasted for five years. Nevertheless, they recently announced their breakup. Last month, both wrestlers posted similar tweets in which they stated that they have no animosity towards each other.

"[Velvet Sky] & I have decided to part ways amicably. There’s no animosity and we will always be cool, and we wish each other well in life. This will be the only public comment we make on the matter," Bully Ray stated in his tweet.

The former Hardcore Champion has not competed in WWE since 2016. In his last WWE match, he teamed up with his Dudley Boyz partner, D-Von Dudley, to face Sami Zayn and Neville on the 2016 SummerSlam's pre-show. The Dudley Boyz lost the match. Two years later, Bully Ray and D-Von Dudley entered the WWE Hall of Fame.

While D-Von has already retired from in-ring action, Bully Ray is still an active competitor on the independent circuit. Meanwhile, his ex-girlfriend is now a color commentator on NWA after retiring from an in-ring competition five years ago.

#3. Former WWE Divas Champion Kelly Kelly (married)

In February 2016, former WWE Superstar Kelly Kelly married her long-time boyfriend, ice hockey player Sheldon Souray. However, the couple split a year later. Following her divorce, Kelly briefly dated singer and songwriter Cole Swindell. However, their relationship only lasted a few months.

In mid-2019, the former Divas Champion started dating engineer and bodybuilder Joseph "Joe" Coba. The couple first met in May that same year at their local dog park.

"It was my first time going to the dog park by means of a recommendation from a friend. I initially started talking to Joe, because our dogs started playing together, ironically all bulldogs, and we immediately hit it off," Kelly told Brides.

A year later, the couple announced their engagement. Kelly and Coba tied the knot last April. In her interview with Brides, the 34-year-old disclosed that it was not easy to plan her wedding during COVID.

"The hardest part was definitely having to plan our wedding during COVID and having no idea what the next year was going to bring. With all the uncertainty, we had to plan it like it was all going to work out and make health and safety accommodations where we could," she added.

Although she is no longer a regular competitor, Kelly Kelly has made a few sporadic WWE appearances in the past few years. In 2019, she captured the 24/7 Championship on the RAW Reunion episode after pinning Gerald Brisco. Kelly lost the title later that same night to Candice Michelle. The former WWE 24/7 Champion has also competed in the 2018 and 2020 Women's Royal Rumble matches.

#2. Former WWE Superstar Tay Conti (split)

Tay Conti (FKA Taynara) joined WWE in 2016 with a martial arts background. She was in a relationship with Brazilian judo fighter Jorge Conti at the time.

Tay and Jorge dated for a few years before getting married in 2017. In an interview with Ring The Belle last year, Tay disclosed that she wanted to use her husband's last name in WWE, but the company refused.

"Conti is my husband’s last name. My husband is half-Italian and Conti is an Italian name and when I got married I didn’t change my name. I was like (for her wrestling name) 'why not because Taynara is my legal name, let’s try to put your (her husband) last name so it’s perfect' and they’re (WWE) were like 'ok let’s do it'. But then WWE found out about all the jokes or whatever, and they changed it. They took out Conti," she said.

The 26-year-old competed in WWE under her real name, Taynara. Following her departure from the company in April 2020, she changed her wrestling name to Tay Conti. Although she is still using Jorge's last name in AEW, the Brazilian wrestler recently revealed that she has split from her husband.

"we have been separated for a long time," she disclosed during a Q&A session on Instagram .

The former WWE Superstar is currently a regular competitor in AEW. She recently defeated Penelope Ford on the latest episode of Rampage.

#1. WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page (married)

WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page recently tied the knot for the third time. Earlier this month, the former European Champion married his girlfriend of two years, Payge McMahon.

The wedding came as a surprise to the bride herself as the Hall of Famer and his daughter, Brittany, organized it at a hotel in Tennessee.

"Page and his daughter, intuitive designer & luxury event planner, Brittany Page, organized the elaborate ruse. They rented out the entire boutique hotel, The Dwell, in Chattanooga, TN. Created a false invitation to a ‘friend’s red and white Christmas themed party.’ Then invited a 115 of the couples’ closest friends and family to a very real ‘black and white’ wedding," a press release explained how the wedding was put together.

Several wrestlers attended the ceremony, including Rob Van Dam and his wife Katie Forbes, Marc Mero, and William Morrissey (FKA Big Cass).

DDP last competed in WWE in 2016 when he participated in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale at WrestleMania 32. The WWE Hall of Famer is currently the owner and CEO of DDP Yoga.
