We have seen plenty of times when life imitates art, thanks to the acting skills of wrestling. This time, it is three-time Divas champ AJ Lee and real-life husband CM Punk – real names April Mendez and Phil Brooks respectively – who mingled in real life after beginning an in-ring relationship in 2011.
At first, AJ was hooking up with CM Punk’s on-screen rival, Daniel Bryan, before the writing had her give him the cold shoulder. It ended up being a pretty good decision since the two wrestlers have been married since 2014. Now they live under the radar in Chicago. Isn’t that just adorable?
Charlie Haas & Jackie Gayda-Haas
Most people are a little hesitant to mix business with pleasure, but not Charlie and Jackie. This wrestling couple was part of the independent wrestling circuit when they got hitched in 2005. They have a quartet of little wrestlers, and they have also opened a store in Texas that sells nutrition and muscle-building supplies.
They might not be in the center of the spotlight when it comes to wrestling, but they have found something much more important than fame – and it does not matter if you are a Haas-been when you have the love of your life by your side.
Jack Swagger & Catalina White
Jack Swagger has plenty of energy to go along with a name that just bursts with power. Swagger, born Donald Jacob Hager Jr., has plenty of swagger in real life, having tied the knot with "FHM" and "Maxim" model Catalina White. Was it his on-screen swagger or his, we assume, love of Keats' poetry?
Whatever the reason, the couple had welcomed a little ball of swagger into the world, followed by another. Careful, Jack – too much swagger, and you might have to look at the idea of getting your supply cut off! Catalina is enjoying Swagger now rip it up in AEW.
The Undertaker & Michelle McCool
The Undertaker is one of the most legendary wrestlers ever to enter the ring. He's a man of mystery who has been buried alive, risen from the grave, and sent plenty of his opponents to their untimely demise all in the name of kayfabe.
Real name: Mark Calaway, The Undertaker might be a man on his own, but Calaway is wedded to fellow WWE star and Diva Michelle McCool - we hope that's her real name. Married life seems to have loosened Calaway up a little bit, seeing as he's been sharing on social media more. The couple has a daughter, and are often pictured on vacations or at special events together.
Rhea Ripley & Buddy Matthews
Over the last few years, Australian wrestler Rhea Ripley has entered the conversation as being one of the most ferocious female performers in recent memory. She is essentially the leader of the WWE faction The Judgment Day - which consists of other feared wrestlers such as Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and Damian Priest.
But in real life, Ripley is a bit of a softie at heart, especially since she fell in love with fellow wrestler Buddy Matthews. But there is a bit of tension between the two, as Matthews is on the roster at the WWE's main competitor - All Elite Wrestling, also known as AEW.
