#3. WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella married Bryan Danielson (FKA Daniel Bryan)

Brie Bella first met Byran Danielson in 2010. They were both WWE Superstars at the time. The former Divas Champion disclosed many details about their relationship in The Bella Twins' book Incomparable:

"Before we were ever in a storyline together, we talked for the first time at the baggage claim in New York City. I had just moved to the city, and it was clear that he had no clue which Bella I was (...) A few months later, they developed a storyline for me and Nicole where we were both in hot pursuit of him," she wrote.

Brie explained in her book that she was never interested in dating WWE Superstars despite being friends with many of them. She also stated that Danielson was not her type.

Nevertheless, everything changed when Brie and Danielson worked together and chatted before and after matches. The two wrestlers discovered that they had a lot in common.

The couple then dated for a few years. The current AEW star proposed to Brie in September 2013 while on a hike together. They tied the knot in April 2014. They now have two children together.


#2. Nikki Bella was engaged to WWE legend John Cena

Nikki Bella and John Cena started dating in 2012. In an interview with TribLive Radio, the WWE Hall of Famer disclosed that they had been friends for many years before they kicked off their romantic relationship:

"It just kind of started out like a dinner date, and I have to admit, we were friends for so many years, but then when you make it romantic, I couldn’t even say a word to him," she said.

The former Divas Champion then moved in with the 16-time World Champion after signing a 75-page agreement. The couple's life was featured heavily on WWE's reality show Total Divas. On the show, it was clear how Nikki and Cena had different opinions about marriage and kids. While the WWE Hall of Famer wanted to tie the knot with Cena and have children, he did not.

Despite this, Cena changed his mind about marriage in 2017. He proposed to Nikki inside the ring at WrestleMania 33. The couple got engaged and were set to get married on May 5, 2018. However, Nikki and Cena broke up nearly a month before the wedding. They later briefly reconciled and split for good in July 2018.

The former Divas Champion later revealed that she never wanted Cena to regret having kids with her.
