Being on the road, superstars often develop close bonds with fellow wrestlers who are always with them on the road; these bonds sometimes turn into romance.

Fans often find out who their favorite wrestlers are dating via social media or reports. However, not every rumor is true.

"One time, I had gotten into trouble for this in my past relationship. We took a picture with his [Finn Balor] parents when we were backstage. And then people went 'Oh my god! are you really together?' (...) We are obviously not married. He is married to a beautiful woman and he seems so happy. That was so fun, we had so much with each other and then we got to be Mixed Match Challenge partners," she said.
