It was announced earlier today that former Women's Champion Alexa Bliss was engaged to Ryan Cabrera. The couple have been together for just over a year and it now appears that they have decided the time is right to start thinking about marriage.
This isn't the first time Alexa Bliss has been looking to head down the aisle, since the former NXT star was engaged to fellow WWE performer Murphy back in 2017. The couple's relationship has since ended amicably and the duo have remained good friends.
Many WWE fans have been questioning who Ryan Cabrera is over the past 24 hours. So, here are just five facts to bring everyone up to speed with Alexa Bliss' fiance.
#5 Alexa Bliss' fiance is good friends with The Miz
Ryan Cabrera's name has only recently been linked to WWE because of his relationship with Alexa Bliss, but the former Rubix Groove lead singer is also good friends with The Miz.
Cabrera even appeared on several episodes of Miz and Mrs., where he has shown just how close he is to both The Miz and his wife Maryse.
Alexa Bliss actually revealed on The Bella Twins' Podcast back in August that it was The Miz that brought the two stars together before they officially began dating.
"So, Miz, who's best friends with Ryan called him and asked about him dating Alexa Bliss and Ryan had no clue who I was. Miz ended up telling him it's a girl he works with. Then we started chatting and he asked me to go to one of his shows and asks where I'm from.
"I tell him I'm in Orlando and he says he was flying to Orlando at the time for a show. I thought, 'Maybe' because I know how musicians are, I've dated them before. I ended up going to the show and he invited me out after the show and I turned him down, but we continued to talk and he was very patient and persistent and we became amazing friends. Ultimately it turned into an amazing relationship. He's so sweet and so amazing."
Cabrera and Bliss have tried to keep their relationship as private as possible over the past year. However, the recent engagement announcement shows that the duo are now happy for their relationship to be in the public eye.
#4 Alexa Bliss' fiance was signed to a record label at just 19
Ryan Cabrera's popularity has risen since dating Alexa Bliss. However, it appears that before he was in a relationship the former WWE Women's Champion, Cabrera was already making waves on the music scene.
Cabrera has been taking the music industry by storm since the age of 19, when the former Rubix Groove lead singer impressed Atlantic Records. Ahead of signing with the record back in 2001, Cabrera played with Rubix Groove and the group opened for the likes of Cheap Trick and Third Eye Blind.
It was the lead singer who composed three of the main songs on their album and because the studio engineer was so impressed, he allowed Cabrera to record a full-length album, which was called Elm St.
Cabrera's debut single "On The Way Down" was released on American Radio back in 2004 and peaked at No. 15 in the Billboard Hot 100. His second single "Take it all away", which was released later that same year, peaked at No. 8 and sold over 66,000 copies in its first week.
It's worth noting that Alexa Bliss was just ten years old when Cabrera signed his first record label.
#3 Alexa Bliss' fiance shares her love of Disney
It's relatively well-known that Alexa Bliss is obsessed with everything related to Walt Disney. The former WWE Women's Champion likes to travel to Disneyland with her mother because it's something she has done annually since she was a child.
Of course, Bliss has continued this tradition and it appears that she now has someone new to travel to the home of Disney with.
Cabrera and Bliss seemingly shared their love of the company with the world back in August. The couple were shown beaming in an image shared on Instagram after being brought shares in Disney as a present from their close friends.
Alexa Bliss reposted the image and with the following caption:
"As official owners of the Walt Disney Company, our first order of business is free churros for ALL!! Thank you @san1979 & @shastaducati for our bday gift!!!"
It appears that the same last name will be much more than the couple will be sharing when they are finally able to make it down the aisle.
#2 Alexa Bliss' fiance shares a dog with her called Stanley Storm III
It's become well-known throughout the course of her career that Alexa Bliss is an animal lover. She once brought a pet pig on an episode of Total Divas, which turned out to be a full-sized pig. Larry Steve is now a regular addition to Alexa Bliss's Instagram page, as well as having his own.
Bliss was previously in a relationship with fellow WWE star Murphy, and the couple shared two dogs who were called Teddy and Izzy. Bliss has since revealed that the couple have remained friends and still share the dogs.
It appears that the former Women's Champion already shares a dog with her fiance, since Cabrera owns a bulldog called Stanley Storm III. The dog has his own Instagram page, where it states that he's still learning what the word "sit" means and loves going for a ride in a stroller.
It is also noted that Bliss and Cabrera are his mother and father on his Instagram page, which shows that the couple have already created a small family.
#1 Alexa Bliss' fiance is almost a decade older than her
Alexa Bliss and Ryan Cabrera have only been dating for a year and the couple have already revealed their intention to marry. Many WWE fans would believe that the couple has moved quite fast, but it appears that both stars believe they have met the right person and that the time is right.
Interestingly, Alexa Bliss is just 29 years old and isn't set to turn 30 until August 2021. That means Cabrera is almost a decade older than his fiancee, since he's now 38 years old.
WWE couples have proved that age is just a number in the past. The likes of The Rock and Lauren Hashian, and even Undertaker and Michelle McCool, have managed to overcome huge age gaps to have a successful marriage.
There are 15 years between Undertaker and Michelle McCool, and impressively 10 years between Brock Lesnar and Sable. It means that when Alexa Bliss and Cabrera eventually tie the knot, the couple will be in good company in WWE.
