Dustin Rhodes, who is more commonly known as Goldust when wrestling for WWE, married fellow wrestler Terri Runnels back in 1993 when the couple was wrestling together in WCW.

Runnels went on to make her WWE debut a few years later at The Royal Rumble in 1996 when she became known as Marlena. Her risky character became one of the stars who pushed the envelope throughout the Attitude Era and helped Goldust to bring his character to life.

The duo worked together on-screen until 1998 when their relationship seemed to dissolve and Luna Vachon became the new on-screen manager for Goldust.

Outside of the ring, Goldust and Terri's marriage officially ended back in 1999 when Runnels cited that a strained relationship with Dustin's father Dusty was one of the main reasons for the breakdown for their relationship. Terri and Goldust have a daughter together who was born back in 1994, called Dakota.

Since the divorce, Goldust has remarried twice. The former WWE star married Milena Martelloni back in 2002 before this marriage ended in 2003, Goldust's most recent marriage, to his third wife Ta-rel Marie Roche took place back in 2012.
