Dana Brooke is currently part of the SmackDown women's division. The former bodybuilder came up through the ranks in NXT ahead of her promotion to WWE's main roster.

While Brooke performing on NXT, she started a relationship with fellow WWE Superstar, Dolph Ziggler, who has dated numerous wrestlers in the past. The couple was somewhat private about the relationship as there are only a few images on Instagram that prove that the couple was once together.

It was later revealed that the couple dated for many months throughout 2015 and 2016. They seemingly broke up around that time because Brooke was in a relationship with a fellow bodybuilder, Dallas McCarver, when he passed away in the summer of 2017.

Brooke made her WWE main roster debut in 2016 and despite the split with Ziggler, the couple has been able to work on the same brand for much of her time on SmackDown.

Ziggler and Brooke were both on the blue brand together throughout 2020 until Ziggler moved to RAW.
