New romances have begun appearing in WWE every few weeks in recent years. Several of these couples have gone on to announce their engagement and even marry.

While this can be the happily-ever-after that many couples look forward to, it isn't the final chapter in every relationship. For every happy couple, there appear to be several more who are still looking for the perfect fit.

Despite several superstars announcing their engagements and a few more making their way down the aisle in 2021, a number of others have publicly announced the end of their marriages and relationships.

Let's take a look at three WWE couples who recently split and three who divorced.

#6. Recently divorced: Former WWE Superstar Charlie Haas and his wife Jackie Gayda

Charlie Haas and Jackie Gayda met during their time in WWE. The couple went on to marry in 2005 before eventually welcoming four children. Both were released from the company just after their marriage and have since worked on several business ventures together, including opening their own smoothie shop in Texas.

Surprisingly, after more than a decade of marriage, Haas revealed as part of an interview with Chris Van Vliet back in December 2020 that he and Gayda had divorced.

“It was when I was going through all the divorce papers back and forth. I remember what the exact day was, I signed the papers and my son says ‘Hey dad, there is someone in the kitchen eating my cereal.’ I’m like ‘What?’ And then he says ‘Yeah he is living here, get used to it.’ I’m thinking what is going on? I had no idea there was someone like that and boom he is living there, the kids had never met him. That was when I was like you know what, it is time to move on. Evidently she has moved on, the papers are signed, it’s time for me to move on, and that was it" via Chris Van Vliet.

Haas has since worked to get back into shape and has pushed himself back into the wrestling business, most recently debuting for IMPACT Wrestling.


#5. Recently split - Ricochet and Kacy Catenzaro

Ricochet and Kacy Catanzaro came to WWE together back in 2018, and it was revealed that the couple were later in a relationship. Ahead of his relationship with Kacy, Ricochet was known to be dating former WWE Superstar Tessa Blanchard, but it was confirmed the couple had gone their separate ways in May 2018.

Kacy and Ricochet shared pictures and videos together for several years before the couple stopped tagging each other in Tweets and updating their Instagrams with tandem photos.

It was then confirmed in the fall of 2021 that Richochet was in a relationship with ring announcer and correspondent Samantha Irvin. Though the split was never announced, Ricochet has since confirmed his new relationship on Instagram.

Kacy Catanzaro has since removed all the images of the couple from her Instagram page.

#4. Recently divorced: Former WWE Superstar Tay Conti and her husband Jorge

Tay Conti has become a huge name in AEW in recent years, but before the Brazilian star made her way over to All Elite Wrestling, she was part of WWE on their NXT brand.

Known as Taynara Conti at the time, the former superstar was with the company for more than four years and was even able to compete as part of the Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal in 2018. She was released due to budget cuts alongside several other stars in April 2020.

After joining WWE in 2016, Conti and her longtime boyfriend Jorge made the walk down the aisle. Since her jump to AEW, the star has confirmed that she and her ex-husband are now separated.

Conti has since started a relationship with fellow AEW star Sammy Guevara and the couple have been very open about their relationship. Fans targeted the two after they announced they were dating, but Conti and Guevara have generally welcomed the negative reactions.

#3. Recently split: WWE Superstar Bayley and Aaron Solow announced their split in 2021

Bayley and fiance Aaron Solow had been dating since before the former Women's Champion made her way to WWE in 2012. They announced their split last year.

Solow was part of several matches for the company throughout their relationship and was even a reserve for the inaugural Cruiserweight Classic back in 2016.

The couple announced their engagement in 2016, but it was called off in February 2021 when the couple opted to go their separate ways. While Solow revealed the split via Twitter in a lengthy message, Bayley herself is yet to address it.

The couple first met back in 2010 and have remained close friends throughout their wrestling careers. Solow and Bayley have also supported each other despite being part of rival promotions throughout their relationship.

Bayley is currently out of action after suffering an ACL injury back in the summer of 2021 but is expected to make her return on the Road to WrestleMania.

#2. Recently divorced WWE Superstar Gigi Dolin and Darby Allin

Gigi Dolin has been making waves in WWE over the past year as one third of Toxic Attraction alongside Jacy Jayne and Mandy Rose.

Before Dolin made her way to WWE, she was known as Priscilla Kelly on the Independent Circuit and performed several times for AEW.

Kelly worked for All Elite Wrestling alongside her husband Darby Allin after the couple married in November 2018. Despite being able to work together in AEW, the young couple announced that they were divorcing in 2020, with Dolin then making her way to WWE.

As part of an appearance on Vickie Guerrero's Excuse Me Podcast in December 2020, Dolin revealed that the two were no longer married.

With us, we realized we got married really young and really fast. He proposed after dating me for four months. That works for some people, but for us, we realized we were not mature enough to handle that label of marriage." (H/T InsideTheRopes)

Dolin went on to state that although the two had divorced, they were still friends. In fact, it seems as though the split helped their friendship in the long run:

"Since we removed that label of being married, we’ve been getting along great. We are best friends. We hang out all the time. We never have any conflict. We both still have little issues. We are both really young. We are still learning where we want to go with our careers and where we want our lives to go." (H/T InsideTheRopes)

Kelly was signed by WWE following her divorce in January 2021 and has since become one of the most recognizable stars on NXT 2.0.

#1. Recently split: WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair and Wendy Barlow

Ric Flair was released from WWE as part of the company's budget cuts last year and has since been quite open about his personal life on his new podcast.

The WWE Hall of Famer had previously been married and divorced four times. He recently revealed his relationship with Wendy Barlow, whom he married in 2018.

Barlow had previously worked with Flair as Fifi the maid in WCW, and the couple had remained friends since.

On a recent episode of his Woooooo Nation Uncensored Podcast, The Nature Boy opened up about the split and explained the reason it happened.

"Everybody wants to just be negative. She still runs my business affairs, handles my personal life, there’s nothing wrong with our relationship. I’m really difficult to live with because I want to travel, I sign autographs, and she did that for nine straight years and she just got tired of it, and I get it." (H/T Wrestlinginc)

Ric Flair has also recently noted that despite the couple seeming to marry back in 2018, they actually were part of a commitment ceremony and are now separated rather than divorced.
