When Mandy Rose revealed the truth about rumors of her love affair with female WWE star

In 2015, Mandy Rose participated in WWE's reality show Tough Enough. Sonya Deville was also a competitor on the show. During the program, the two ladies developed a close friendship and even lived together at some point.

As Deville is openly lesbian, her close bond with Rose sparked rumors that the two were dating in real life. But in an interview with Distractify in 2019, Rose addressed these rumors and revealed that there was no truth to them.

"I think it's obviously just rumors. Everyone can get different vibes from the way we are portrayed on TV. I feel like for my character too, it's a little bit more hot bombshell, a little more sexual too, so I think some of the things I do can be portrayed as that. But as of now, we are just going to have to wait and see..." Rose said.

Rose and Deville made their main roster debut together as part of Absolution in 2017. As the group disbanded following Paige's retirement, the two ladies formed another tag team on SmackDown, Fire & Desire.

After spending about three years together as a tag team, Rose and Deville split and feuded with each other in 2020. Their feud ended when God's Greatest Creation defeated her former partner at SummerSlam that same year.

Outside the Stamford-based company, Rose and Deville have a strong bond. The two are even business partners, as they established DaMandyz Donutz together.

Mandy Rose once wanted to have a lesbian storyline with Sonya Deville. Check out the details here.
