5 recently married WWE couples with the biggest age gaps

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

In 1998, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam married his first wife, Sonia Delbeck. The couple spent 17 years together. Nonetheless, they separated in 2015 before finalizing their divorce three years later.

Nearly a year after his separation from his first wife, the 51-year-old WWE Hall of Famer met and fell in love with Katie Forbes. The two wrestlers' first encounter came at a convention. Despite Van Dam being 20 years older than Forbes, they started dating in 2016. They also appeared on TV together when Forbes became Van Dam's valet in IMPACT Wrestling.

After nearly five years together, Van Dam and Forbes tied the knot last November in a private ceremony in Las Vegas. Several wrestlers attended the wedding, including former WWE Superstars Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux.

During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the former WWE Champion showered his wife with praise, disclosing that she makes him happy.

"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.

The former WWE Champion only competed in two matches in 2021. His last bout came in September at the Battleground Championship Wrestling Debut Show. He teamed up with Bully Ray to defeat Marq Quen and Matt Hardy.

Van Dam also entered the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021. He and his now-wife attended the ceremony together.
