Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews are wrestles dating in real life — Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews are active wrestlers on both sides of the promotional divide

Australian wrestlers Rhea Ripley from WWE and Buddy Matthews from AEW have just announced their engagement. The two have been dating for three years now.

Ripley and Matthews got together back in 2020 when both were working under WWE. Despite Buddy signing with rival promotion AEW in 2022, the pair have continued to date. Since then, they have been working on opposite sides of the divide but have continued to support each other and have even paid tribute to one another.

On Instagram, Matthews posted a picture of himself and Rhea Ripley on a date with one another. This was just before Ripley posted as well, showing off a selfie of their date, but this time flaunting her new engagement ring, making their engagement official.

"My sunshine in the Sunshine!"

You can see Rhea Ripley's Instagram post, which shows off her ring, here.

The couple immediately debunked the claims that they were not dating once more with an engagement post and have proven that Rhea's storyline with Dominik Mysterio is only for show.

We at Sportskeeda off our sincere congratulations and best wishes to the couple moving forward.

He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
