#3. WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam - Katie Forbes (20 years)

In 2015, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam and his first wife, Sonia Delbeck, separated before getting divorced three years later.

A year after his separation from his first wife, the 51-year-old met Katie Forbes at a wrestling convention. The two fell in love and started dating in 2016 despite Forbes being 20 years younger than the former ECW Champion.

In February 2021, the couple announced their engagement. Last November, Van Dam and Forbes tied the knot in a private ceremony in Las Vegas. A few wrestlers attended the wedding, including Candice Michelle, Karrion Kross, and Scarlett Bordeaux.

Despite the lengthy age gap between Van Dam and his wife, they seem very happy together. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the Hall of Famer showered Forbes with praise.

"I have definitely [been] showcasing since Katie Forbes, you know, for sure. And she’s a party girl, you know, she’s fun, and she’s awesome," he said.

Katie Forbes is also a wrestler. She competed in different promotions, including IMPACT Wrestling. In an interview with the Xenia Did That YouTube channel, Forbes disclosed that she would like to join Vince McMahon's company in the future.

Forbes was previously spotted backstage at the Raw Reunion episode in 2019, during which Van Dam made a one-off appearance. She also accompanied her husband to the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.
