It is well known that Brie Bella is happily married to Daniel Bryan, while Nikki Bella was engaged with John Cena for a year. What you may not know is that they are also related to another WWE figure. The Bellas' mother, Kathy Colace, is married to John Laurinaitis. Yes, the People Power guy! The two were married in a private ceremony in March 2016, right before Brie's initial retirement.

Laurinaitis is a pretty recognizable face to the WWE Universe, particularly because of his on-screen role as the general manager of both, RAW and SmackDown in 2012. Funnily, he even defeated his once-to-be son-in-law, John Cena, in the middle of the ring.

Johnny Ace remains a senior producer in WWE to this day, after serving as the Vice President of Talent Relations for many years. In fact, he was the one who signed the Bellas to WWE in 2007. John Laurinaitis has been a recurring presence on the Total Bellas reality show, as Nikki and Brie's stepfather.
