#2. WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Rhea Ripley – Demetri Jackson

WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Rhea Ripley has been dating independent wrestler Demetri Jackson for nearly two years.

Jackson holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources and a minor in Finance from the University of Puerto Rico. He also has a Master's degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Central Florida. Nonetheless, a few years ago, he decided to pursue a pro wrestling career.

In an interview with the Chasing Glory podcast, Ripley revealed that her boyfriend does not want much of her help despite being a rookie.

"So, Kevin – he goes by Demetri – he’s only been wrestling for, I want to say a year-and-a-half – two years, so that’s not very long. He’s still pretty green and still has a lot to learn, but he learns super fast. I’ve been trying to help him along the way. We’ll watch matches and I’ll sort of break it down for him and explain things. I’m always there for him ’cause I want him to succeed. He’s been straight on not wanting too much of my help ’cause he wants to succeed on his own; he doesn’t want me to give him anything, which I appreciate," she said.

Jackson recently made his first WWE appearance. Ripley's boyfriend teamed up with Andrew Lockhart on 205 Live last month to face The Creed Brothers. Nonetheless, his team lost the match. Following his 205 Live debuts, Jackson could soon sign an official contract and join his girlfriend in WWE.
