Researchers from the University of Copenhagen published a study this November seeking to answer whether or not to recommend a low-gluten diet to individuals without food allergies.

The anti-gluten dietary trend has become fashionable in recent years, even amongst those who suffer no allergies to the wheat protein. Substantial scientific research on the subject is lacking, however, which makes this research so important.

The intervention study was conducted by a group of scientists from all over the world, testing healthy adults. They found that low-gluten, high-fiber diets cause changes in gastrointestinal bacteria. There was markedly less gastrointestinal discomfort reported, including bloating. In addition, there was weight loss reported.

“We demonstrate that, in comparison with a high-gluten diet, a low-gluten, fiber-rich diet induces changes in the structure and function of the complex intestinal ecosystem of bacteria, reduces hydrogen exhalation, and leads to improvements in self-reported bloating,” said the study’s lead investigator, Professor Oluf Pederson from Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen.

He continued, “Moreover, we observed a modest weight loss, likely due to increased body combustion triggered by the altered gut bacterial functions.” The reason for this is believed to be dietary fiber, however, not gluten.

The controlled, crossover trial took 60 middle-aged Danes in good health and put them through two eight-week intervention studies to compare low-gluten and high-gluten diets (2 grams of gluten per day compared to 18 grams of gluten a day. In between these trials, subjects underwent a “washout period” of habitual gluten intake that lasted a minimum of six weeks, during which they ingested 12 grams of gluten a day.

Between the two different diets, the caloric and nutrient intake balanced and had the same amount of dietary fibers. What type of fibers, however, was starkly different.

Researchers’ observations brought them to conclude that the effects of the low-gluten diet may not be due to the lower amount of gluten, but rather replacing wheat and rye fibers with that of foods such as vegetables, brown rice, corn, oats, and quinoa.

In light of this conclusion, the study doesn’t recommend any change of diet, despite it often being proposed for people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and other inflammatory bowel diseases. Many Westerners suffer from these disorders — up to 20%. They will have to wait for a definitive answer because the jury is still out, the study says.

Pedersen concluded that “more long-term studies are definitely needed before any public health advice can be given to the general population.”

Nowadays, it seems like behind every great wrestler there is an even greater wife who either escorts them to the ring or is a talented wrestler in her own right. Here are some of the most beautiful wives in the world of wrestling.

As one of the founding members of the New World Order, Kevin Nash teamed with Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall to wreak havoc on WWE. When he was not powerbombing opponents, he was at home with his wife Tamara. They married in 1988 but separated in 2000. Their love was inevitably too strong, and they reconciled. Tamara works as a realtor in Daytona Beach, Florida. They have a son Tristan who was accused of battery against his mother.

Before meeting Sabine, Sting was married to a women named Sue with whom he had two boys, Garret and Steve Jr, and a girl, Gracie. Not long after Wrestlemania 31, Sting married Sabine in April 2015. Before meeting Sting, Sabine had two daughters from a previous marriage. She was a former Certified Personal Trainer before she met him as well. Sabine and Sting will have plenty of upcoming time together due to his retirement in 2016 from professional wrestling.

The high-flying masked man, Rey Mysterio, has been married since 1997 to Angie Gutierrez.  While the world refers to him as Rey, she prefers to call him by his given name, Oscar. The couple has two children, a daughter Aaliyah and a son Dominic. She has been by his side for some time now, and they reside in California with their kids. Rey has multiple tattoos of Angie on his body. The two are devout Catholics and have passed those values to their kids.

His in-ring name had such a flow that he’d point to himself as the crowd shouted it out. Rob Van Dam (real name Robert Szatkowski) and his wife Sonia married on September 6, 1998, and expected to enjoy a magical ride together. Sonia followed Rob around the world as he wrestled in various cities. However, she filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences after 17 years together. According to Sonia, they are still on good terms even amidst the divorce.

In the 1980s, few wrestlers enraged fans like the Iron Shiek. He constantly bashed America and praised Iran, but at home, he found comfort in the arms of his wife Caryl whom he married on March 21, 1976. Wrestler Mean Gene Okerlund was the best man at the ceremony. Caryl is quite the strong woman, sticking with her husband through years of substance abuse. Sadly, the couple’s eldest daughter was murdered in 2003 by her boyfriend.

The other half of one of the most exciting Tag-Teams in the history of the WWE, The Hardy Boyz, Jeff Hardy is world-renowned for mastering the epic wrestling move – the Swanton Bomb. After crashing through a record-breaking number of tables, ladders, and chairs, the man from North Carolina eventually settled down with Beth Britt, who he married in 2011. He met her at a club and in 2010, they were delighted to welcome their first child into the world, Ruby Claire Hardy. They then had Nera Quinn in 2015.

Originally part of the infamous D-Generation X, Road Dogg was well known for being one half of The New Age Outlawz, along with his tag-team partner, Billy Gunn. Together, the pair won the World Tag Team Championship and Road Dogg won the title a staggering five times with other wrestlers. Nowadays, the man formerly known as Brian Girard James is happily married with wife Tracy and the couple had three kids together. As you can see, they are very happy together.

Part of the New Day, alongside Big E and Kofi Kingston – Xavier Woods has been tearing up the WWE rings since his debut in 2010. Previously associated with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and New Japan Pro Wrestling, the man formerly known as Austin Watson has worked hard to get where he is today. Although he is still establishing himself in the world of wrestling, the Georgia native is happily married with Jess Watson and the couple recently had a son, who was born in 2017.

Fans underestimated just how special Mark Henry is. This heavyweight wrestler has been dominating the ring for nearly three decades now. A mainstay during the Attitude era, Henry hasn’t let the numerous changes in the WWE phase him out. To this day, Henry is still a force to be reckoned with and is still on the current roster. He is also happily married to Jana Perry, and the couple had two kids together – Jacob and Joanna.

Currently one of the high-flyers of the modern WWE era, it is natural to make comparisons between Kalisto and the original luchador Rey Mysterio. Make no mistake about it though, Emanuel Alejandro Rodriguez is his own man and has been making a real name for himself even since making his wrestling debut in the Midwestern United States independent circuit. He won the NXT Tag Team Championships with Sin Cara as The Lucha Dragons and is now married to the beautiful Abigail Rodriguez.

There is no denying the popularity of The Rock. One of the most beloved wrestlers of all time is bound to have stolen the hearts of at least a few women in his day. Since 2007, the wrestler turned Hollywood superstar has been dating the singer Lauran Hashian. But despite not getting married yet, Dwayne Johnson and Hashian have already had a baby girl together. So Hashian definitely seems to be serious and wants to spend her future with “The People’s Champion.”

While Randy Orton is one of the most famous wrestlers on the planet, his wife is not so well known. Mother of three Kim Kessler started dating Orton in 2014. The couple made their relationship public when Orton took Kessler to the WWE Hall Of Fame Induction ceremony of that year. But Kessler has shown the world that she’s a lot more than just a pretty face, defending her newlywed husband by snapping back at his critics on social media.

Before settling down with WWE legend Sean Michaels, Rebecca Curci also spent some time in the ring. She briefly wrestled as Nitro Girl, where she caught The Heartbreak Kid’s eye for the first time. Michaels was renowned for being the biggest wrestling heartthrob of his time, but Curci had won his heart. The couple eloped to Las Vegas in 1999 and swiftly tied the knot. Since that no-nonsense wedding, Sean and Rebecca have been happy together and even have two children.

The Texas Rattlesnake was considered by many to be the man responsible for ushering in the golden age of WWE – The Attitude Era. And Stone Cold Steve Austin has had his fair share of love interests since entering the ring in the early nineties. But after three failed marriages, Austin received his very own “stone cold stunner” when he met Kristin Feres. Since 2009, the couple have been happily married and spend their time between Marina Del Rey, California and Tilden, Texas.

One of the longest standing marriages on this list has been between SmackDown on-screen commissioner Shane McMahon and his gorgeous wife, Marissa Mazzola. The couple tied the knot on September 14th, 1996 and have never looked back, having three sons during their time together. “Shane O’ Mac” is the son of WWE CEO Vince and brother of Diva Stephanie. And who knows, maybe at some stage Marissa will be in contention for more power in the WWE, alongside her co-owner husband.

Between two defining moments, Kevin Owens probably can’t decide which one was most important to him. The first came when he met his beautiful wife, Karina Steen. The second came well into their marriage when the NXT champion stepped up to the challenge and took on John Cena in the U.S. Open Challenge. In what turned out to be an absolute shock, Owens slammed Cena onto the canvas. Karina and Owens’ two children were absolutely amazed by what they saw.

The modern day equivalent to Andre The Giant – at 7ft, The Big Show is truly larger than life. But don’t let his wife’s short stature (in comparison) fool you, what Bess Katramados says goes, and Big Show is completely on board with his beautiful wife. The big man, also known as Paul Donald Wight II, married for the second time on February 11, 2002 and the two lovers have two children together. Bess must be happy too because her husband is retiring in the near future.

At one point, Matt Hardy never thought he’d be able to recover from his on and off ring relationship with WWE Diva Lita. But he eventually moved on and found someone better in the form of Reby Sky. Hardy trained the aspiring female wrestler before tying the knot. But things haven’t been easy for the couple, after a couple of domestic disputes and restraining orders. But Hardy and Sky have since overcome their issues and reconciled.

WWE legend Jerry “The King” Lawler has charmed many women in his lifetime. But what was his secret? For Lauryn Laine McBride, it was his sense of humor that swept her off her feet. Despite being much younger than Lawler, McBride has accepted his proposal and the couple are currently engaged. And if things do not work out between the two, we can’t imagine McBride being single for too long. She’s absolutely stunning!

A talented wrestler in her own right, Naomi became one-half of a dynamic wrestling couple when she married popular wrestler Jimmy Uso. Before her nuptials, Naomi starred as Diva on the E! reality show Total Divas. But her place on the show was jeopardized sadly, due to the news that she had got married to Uso. However, since the WWE wrestler has faced a long term injury, Naomi is now making a name for herself once again.

In recent times, Zack Ryder has taken the WWE by storm since his inclusion to the SmackDown roster. And his girlfriend has also made a living for herself in the ring, albeit at a lower level. Chelsea Anne Green is currently performing for Global Force Wrestling (GFW) under the ring name Laurel Van Ness and has been dating Ryder since 2016. And it seems like the relationship has been going well so far. They are quite the beautiful couple.

The lady born Catherine Perry operates under the stage name Lana in the WWE. She started off as the manager of Bulgarian wrestler Rusev. She has often been seen as the face of the double act, while Rusev has provided the muscle. But in more recent times, Lana has ventured into the ring and made a name for herself as a talented fighter. Eventually, the pair decided to make their relationship more than just professional and tied the knot in 2016.

Not only is businesswoman Stephanie McMahon married to the wrestler also known as Hunter Hurst Hemsley; she is also part of the WWE’s founding family, the McMahons. CEO Vince must be really proud of his little girl, who has grown into a powerful figure both inside and outside the ring. And ultimately, the wrestling network is the reason why she was introduced to Triple H in the first place. With time, the scripted relationship has become a genuine one.

Sarah Backman gave Bo Dallas a run for his money after spending a lot of time in the gym. The blonde Swede has reaped the benefits of her fitness regimen. Even more impressive is the fact that Backman is an eight time World Arm Wrestling Champion. After being recruited to the NXT institution, a talent conveyor belt for WWE’s next generation, she nearly became a fully professional wrestler herself. But ultimately, it wasn’t meant to be.

The former wife of Olympic medalist Kurt Angle jumped ship in 2010 when she married wrestler, Jeff Jarrett. So the next time she stepped into the ring, she performed as Karen Jarrett. To this day, Karen and Jeff are still happily married and have two kids. But still, Karen has retained her stunning physique after her previous work as an exotic dancer. And even though she is over 40 years old, Karen still looks fantastic.

When Sharmell Sullivan and Booker T joined forces, they self-ordained each other and became wrestling royalty, literally. Booker T officially became King Booker while Sharmell wrestled under the alias Queen Sharmell. In 2005, only a couple of years before both retiring, they got married and decided to build a family together. Even though they’re “reign” in wrestling came to an end, they were blessed after bringing two twins into the world. Can you dig it, sucker?

In 2012, Bray Wyatt tied the knot with his beautiful girlfriend, Samantha. But five years and two kids later, their marriage took an extreme turn for the worse. Samantha discovered that her wrestler husband had reportedly cheated on her with WWE’s ring announcer, JoJo Offerman. Feeling completely betrayed by the man also known as Windham Lawrence Rotunda, Samantha filed for divorce in June 2017. Despite his turbulent personal life, Bray Wyatt is still a mainstay on WWE Raw.

The other half of the notorious Bella Twins, Brie, also tied the knot with a professional wrestler. Daniel Bryan asked for her hand in marriage and without hesitation, she said yes to him in 2014. Even though Brie and Nikki gave themselves the reputations of being WWE heels, Bryan was able to tame the beast and give Brie some much-needed love from the fans. And in 2017, the couple had a baby girl, naming her Birdie Joe Danielson.

We’re not surprised one bit that Jack Swagger fell head over heels for Catalina Hager. The wrestler’s stunning wife has appeared in a variety of magazines including Maxim and FHM and it wasn’t long before the couple tied the knot. But nowadays, Catalina isn’t so excited to show her body off to the world. Unlike most wives of wrestlers, she has set her Instagram account to private. Swagger and Hager have had two kids since getting married.

One of the real wrestlers in the true sense of the word, Kurt Angle has been through it all and more. The Olympic gold medallist joined the WWE in 1998 and during that time, has been married twice. His first wife is now married to another wrestler in the form of Jeff Jarrett. But Angle has since moved on and married the lovely Giovanna Yannotti in 2012. The two have also built a family together, having three daughters.

Before Roman Reigns became a professional wrestler, he played college football. It was during this time that he met his wife, Galina Becker. After a two year engagement, Reigns and Becker tied the knot in 2014 and shortly after, the couple had a baby girl. High school or college sweethearts are becoming a rarer thing as time goes on. But these two are no typical couple and have stood the test of time. If we were Reigns, we would stay with Becker.

One of the poster boys of WWE’s biggest rivals, WCW, Goldberg was a force to be reckoned with in his heyday. He even had a successful stint working for the WWE, becoming an instant fan favorite. But since 2005, Goldberg has been married to stunt double Wanda Ferraton, who he met while working on the set of Santa’s Slay. Nowadays, Bill and Wanda reside in Bonsall, California with their son who goes by the name of Gage.

Another fine example of two wrestlers who just couldn’t keep their hands off one another. After Alberto Del Rio’s marriage with Angela Velkei came to an abrupt end amid rumors of adultery, the wrestler decided to move onto his British co-worker Saraya-Jade Bevis, better known by the wrestling community as Paige. And now it looks like these two very attractive wrestlers are going to go all the way after announcing their engagement in 2016. We wish them the best.

Amazingly, Jessica Lockhart has already been married to the “Ayatollah of Rock N’ Rollah” for the good part of 15 years. The couple met in high school and despite numerous rumors of infidelity on both sides of the relationship, all speculation has been squashed by both Lockhart and Jericho. They reassured fans that they have always been faithful to one another and Jericho even got a tattoo of her name on his wedding ring finger. The Jerichos have three children.

AJ Styles is one of those WWE champions who has made the natural progression from TNA. However, without his wife and four kids, the wrestler may not have achieved those things. A.J. and schoolteacher Wendy have been married since 2000, and even though he is on the road a lot, he made sure to honor his kids by giving them names starting with A and J respectively. According to Christian A.J., “it’s God first and family second.”

When Denise Hartmann went on vacation, she couldn’t believe her luck. She was in the right place at the right time and met a famous wrestler. But that’s exactly what happened. Ever since she met WWE star Christian Cage while traveling, they have been inseparable for the last 15 years. Denise, originally from Germany, was spotted by Christian while he was touring around England. Since that fateful encounter, they got married in 2001 and had a baby daughter together.

Sometimes, two wrestlers end up falling in love after locking arms in the ring. This is what happened between Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. After many encounters in the ring and behind the scenes, the pair eventually started dating. In mid-2016, the couple took things to the next level and tied the knot in a private ceremony. The irony is that they still have plenty of bust-ups in the ring. However, it’s simply all for show.

This wrestler-turned-costume designer has a very personal life. As for Sarath Ton’s partner, Sasha Banks, she is also a wrestler and even won her first title just a few days after they got married. She actually did her best to keep the wedding a secret so that fans didn’t go crazy. Banks is regarded these days as one of the most talented female wrestlers, being part of the Four Horsewomen who eventually kickstarted the “Diva’s Revolution.”

Bret “The Hitman” Hart is Canadian wrestling royalty. The master of the Sharpshooter has had one of the most compelling arcs in WWE history. These days, he has a much more stable life, especially after marrying Stephanie Washington back in 2010. Although the former wrestler is double Washington’s age, this didn’t stop them from enjoying their honeymoon in Hawaii. Although Hart has already had two failed marriages, things look a lot more hopeful with Stephanie by his side.

Heath Slater made history when he became one half of the first ever Smackdown! Tag Team Champions alongside his partner, Rhyno. He is best known for finishing moves such as the Corskscrew Plancha and the Jumping Neckbraker. However, in his private life, Slater married Stephanie Jean, who ended up changing her name to Stephanie Miller (Miller is Slater’s real surname). The couple has two daughters and the couple spends their downtime in Fort Mill, South Carolina.

Ronnie Killings is best known by his stage name R-Truth, and many forget that he actually had a brief appearance in the WWE during the Attitude Era, working alongside Road Dogg in a tag team. He spent much time away from the WWE though, working in other organizations such as TNA, before making a return to the WWE in 2008. R-Truth has been married to Pamela Killings since April 7, 2011.  It was only a matter of years before the couple had a daughter together, born in 2014.

Mick Foley is one of the enigmatic personalities in WWE history, having portrayed three different characters: Cactus Jack, Dude Love and the socko feeding psychopath, Mankind. However, his personal life has been a lot more stable, after marrying Colette Christie in the early 90s. Together, they have had three sons and a daughter. One thing is for sure, Foley has punched well above his weight in the relationship department after striking gold with the beautiful Colette.

Without a doubt, Al Snow was one of the most eccentric personalities to ever enter the ring. He even gave madmen such as Mick Foley and Kane a run for their money! One lady who he was previously bound to in holy matrimony was fellow wrestler Cynthia Lynch, whose ring name was Bobcat. However, it seems that it might be a case of third time’s the charm ever since the man from Lima, Ohio tied the knot with Jessica Gousha.

Although he was never credited for his in-ring credentials, Eric Bischoff has been a regular face behind the scenes at a number of wrestling federations. It was in the ’80s when he settled down for the second time with Loree Bischoff. No matter what drama has come his way in the world of wrestling, Loree has always been there through thick and thin. The couple’s son, Garett Bischoff, has been a regular performer in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Most WCW fans will remember that Diamond Dallas Page was romantically involved with fellow wrestling personality Kimberly Page. The couple even got married at one point. However, it didn’t stand the test of time. Since then, Page has floated around a number of different wrestling federations. In more recent times, the legend announced that he was engaged to Brenda Nair. Just a year later, the couple traveled to Cancun and had an intimate, private ceremony.

Another wrestler who has struggled to maintain a steady relationship is Dustin Runnels, better known as the gold and black makeup wearing Goldust. Having originally been married to fellow WWE personality Terri Runnels, that particular relationship failed to stand the test of time. A few years later, Goldust got married again; this time to a woman called Milena Martelloni. Once again, things didn’t work out for the wrestler. However, Goldust has been married to Ta-rel Roche since 2012, and they’re still going strong.

Originally part of Degeneration X, Billy Gunn’s finest hour came in 1999 when he defeated X-Pac to be crowned King Of The Ring. It was exactly a decade later when Gunn ended up marrying his long-term girlfriend, Paula, in 2009. Since then Paula has taken shots at the WWE when a famous wrestler passed away in 2016. Paula wrote on Twitter, “Acknowledging someone after they’ve passed away doesn’t make up for how [bad] you were to them while they were alive.!”

Certainly one of if not THE most famous woman on this list, Jennifer Hudson has been warming the hearts of millions with her beautiful voice. Despite not winning American Idol, Hudson has gone on to become a pop legend. Eventually, the singer met wrestler David Otunga and hit it off instantly. But the couple haven’t rushed things by any means, and while they are engaged and have a child, the nuptials are yet to have happened.

This relationship works both ways in terms of who wears the wrestling pants! While Seth Rollins has been established in the WWE for a bit longer, Becky Lynch has since become the leading figure in women’s wrestling entertainment. Also known in the WWE as “The Man,” Lynch eventually announced that she was in a relationship with Rollins. Just a few months later, in August 2019, the couple announced that they were planning on getting married.

Drew McIntyre is certainly having a good time right now in both his personal and professional life. The Scottish wrestler recently won the coveted Royal Rumble competition, which means that he will take on current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at the upcoming Wrestlemania event. Although he was already married and divorced once in his life, McIntyre is hoping that his second marriage will actually stand the test of time. He tied the knot with Kaitlyn Frohnapfel in 2016.

There is no denying that Dustin Runnels, better known as Goldust, has had a hard time in the love department over the years. This eccentric wrestler, who has applied gold and black makeup throughout his career, was famously married to another WWE personality back in the 90s, Terri Runnels. However, things didn’t last between the two and Goldust was forced to move on. Thankfully, Runnels ended up finding love again, tying the knot with Ta-rel Roche in 2012.

It would be an understatement to say that Charlotte Flair has followed in the footsteps of her father Ric. While she hasn’t been married as many times as her legendary dad, Charlotte Flair has certainly been married more than once. After a tumultuous marriage with Riki Johnson, and a two-year-long second marriage to Thomas Latimer, Charlotte has most recently been in a relationship with fellow WWE star Manuel Oropeza, better known as Andrade. They have been engaged since January 1, 2020.

There is no denying that Sean Waltman, better known as X-Pac, has had some bad luck in the love department over the years. Having previously been in a relationship with fellow wrestler Chyna, their separation didn’t stop him from being completely devastated when he learned of her passing in 2016. Waltman also revealed in 2018 that his wife had died under tragic circumstances. Around the same time though, the former WWE man announced that he has been dating author Angelia Nissel.

Wrestling fans lost their minds when mixed martial artist Ken Shamrock made the radical transition from the UFC to the WWE. For the good part of a decade, Shamrock was one of the most popular figures during the Attitude era. Along the way, he has been married twice, having first tied the knot with Tina Ramirez. A few years after divorcing her, he married a woman called Tonya, a childhood friend of his. Despite only being 56 years old, Shamrock already has seven kids and a staggering 10 grandkids!

Make no mistake about it – Diamond Dallas Page is best known for his in-ring achievements at one of the WWE’s fiercest competitors – WCW. However, this didn’t stop the talented wrestler from spending a handful of years with Vince McMahon’s corporations. Although his relationship with fellow wrestling personality Kimberly Page didn’t stand the test of time, Dallas has since found love elsewhere, having tied the knot with Brenda Nair in a private ceremony in Cancun.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Al Snow was up there with the likes of Mick Foley as one of the most eccentric wrestlers in WWE history. There was a time when the man who had a relationship with a mannequin head in the ring actually had a real-life relationship with a fellow wrestler in Cynthia Lynch, otherwise known as Bobcat. However, that didn’t seem to last and these days, Snow is happily married (for the third time) with Jessica Gousha.

The Great Khali certainly caused a splash in the WWE when he made his debut over a decade ago. The Indian-born wrestler is happily married to wife Harminder Kaur, ever since tying the knot in 2002. Kaur is an actress, who is best known for her roles in Indian movies such as Kambdi Kalaai. Interestingly, the couple did not date before they got married. They were set up by their respective parents and ended up having a traditional arranged marriage.

Let’s face it, an article about WWE stars and their wives wouldn’t be the same without the biggest power couple of them all – Linda and Vince McMahon. The couple have been attached by the hip since the 60s and over the years, they have managed to put their stamp on the WWE, along with their kids Shane and Stephanie. Linda has had a big part to play in the WWE’s success, working as an executive for the company.

While there are a number of Irish wrestlers who have graced the WWE rings over the last few years, Finn Balor might be the craziest of them all. The talented wrestler has been going through a phase of wearing some pretty audacious face paints. However, his personal life seems to be a bit more stable. Balor has been in a relationship with Fox Sports host Veronica Rodriguez since June 2019. Just a few months later, they got married in a private ceremony.

This is one of the rare examples on this list of a WWE personality who was more famous for his endeavors outside the ring. Eric Bischoff has tried his luck in a variety of wrestling federations, including the WWE. Way back in the 80s, the famous businessman found love for the second time, tying the knot with Loree. Through all the twists and turns that Eric has faced over the years, Lori has been by his side. Their son Garett is actually a wrestler.

Ric Flair is definitely one of, if not the wrestler who has had the most marriages over the last few decades. He tied the knot for the first time with Leslie Goodman back in 1971. Despite having two kids, they ended up divorcing after 12 years. This was swiftly followed by his second marriage, this time to Elizabeth Harrell, which ended in 2006. After another two failed marriages, Flair most recently tied the knot with his fifth wife Wendy Barlow in 2018.

One of the most exciting wrestlers to grace the WWE rings in recent times has to be Ricochet. What he also has in his favor is the fact that he is currently in a relationship with another WWE personality in Kacy Catanzaro. She joined the federation in WWE after gaining fame from her exploits in American Ninja Warrior. Despite having a hiatus due to a back injury, Kacy has since returned to the WWE and thanks her boyfriend for helping her during her recovery.

At one point, both AJ Lee and CM Punk were at the pinnacle of their powers in their respective weights in the WWE. But it would prove to be a wrestling match made in heaven when Lee and Punk eventually locked horns. It didn’t take long before the two of them got married and retired from the game. Nowadays the happy couple resides in Chicago, but they look back on their wrestling careers with fond memories, as it was ultimately what brought them together.

A truly fantastic wrestling duo joined forces when Jackie Gayda married Charlie Haas in 2005. They have also put a team together, adding four children to their family. Outside of simply making cameos in the ring, Jackie and Charlie run Custom Muscle Nutrition and Smoothies, a nutrition store located in Texas. They essentially act as ambassadors of the store due to their impressive physiques. This especially applies to Jackie, after giving birth to four kids.

Now, who would have expected a wrestler to be married to a financial analyst? Well, this is certainly true as far as John Layfield is concerned. Meredith Whitney met the wrestler formally known under ring names such as Bradshaw and JBL while working together on Fox. It wasn’t long before a relationship blossomed between the two and by 2005, the couple were married. Since closing her business in 2015, she has lived with Layfield at their private residence in Bermuda.

Now better known as Drax the Destroyer from the Guardians Of The Galaxy franchise, people tend to forget that Dave Bautista was once one of the most feared wrestlers in the WWE. He went by the ring name of Batista, and won many heavyweight titles in the process. But pole dancer Sarah Jade certainly didn’t forget. The couple tied the knot in October 2015 and have been attached to the hip at every movie premiere Dave has been invited to.

The female wrestler also known as Eden, has kept her private life in the ring. Now married to Golddust’s half-brother Cody Rhodes, Brandi Rhodes started her career in media as a news reporter before eventually becoming an anchor. This experience paved the way for her big break when she became an announcer for WWE. When she was given the task to interview Cody for the first time, it was love at first sight and they have been inseparable ever since.

When The Miz married former WWE Diva Maryse in 2014, the wrestler couldn’t believe his luck. Now Mrs. Maryse Mizanin, both love telling the online world about how well their relationship is going, constantly posting photos on social media. Although she is now retired, Maryse is happy to just kick back at ringside and cheer on her husband. Sometimes she likes to coach her man when he’s struggling because all Maryse wants to do is watch The Miz to the biz.

One of the first WWE Divas, Sable was a pretty talented wrestler in her own right. She was a key fixture during the Attitude era and when she decided to tie the knot, she kept it in the family. In 2006, she married Brock Lesnar, who happens to be ten years younger than her. Nowadays, she would rather be known as Rena Lesnar. But even at the age of 50, Sable is still one of the most stunning women in the whole of wrestling.

When Glenn Jacobs burst onto the wrestling scene as the demonic Kane, fans went wild and wrestlers were terrified by his ominous presence and horrific pyrotechnics. The wrestler still reeks havoc to this day. But beneath the red and black mask, there is a soft, warm individual and Glenn’s wife of over twenty years can certainly attest to that. Crystal had two daughters with Jacobs and outside of wrestling, the couple also run an insurance company together.

It’s hard to believe that former Diva Michelle McCool is married to the Phenom himself, The Undertaker. For a wrestler who for the majority of his career has been shrouded in mystery, it’s amazing how public he has become. And McCool seems to have had a big part to play in that. The couple has shared photos of their holidays together, as well as nights out to sports events. They got married in 2010 and had a daughter together.

One of the most charismatic WWE Diva’s of her time, Maria Kanellis has since dived into the independent wrestling industry.
