Their relationship got its share of controversy when Graves' now ex-wife described Carmella as the major reason behind their divorce. The former SmackDown Women's Champion offered her reaction to this in an interview with E!.

“Honestly, it was super difficult. I’ve been in the public eye, but I’ve never been to a point where, you know, stories or allegations were coming out.”
“I was getting death threats, I was just getting all these awful things said about me”... “My grandmother’s calling me, ‘What is this? You’re on the New York Post about wrecking a home!’ And I’m like, ‘No!'” said Carmella.

Thankfully, the couple stayed together in difficult times and have now become very successful in their respective careers.
