Wrestling Relationship Gaps That Are Pretty Uncomfortable
By RUSS GOOD
Sable was still married to Marc Mero when she met Brock Lesnar — who is 9 years and 11 months younger than her. Marc discovered their relationship when he heard a voicemail message Brock left for his wife, but has since forgiven the couple, and Lesnar and Sable have been happily married since 2006.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson met his current wife, Lauren Hashian, while he was working on the film "The Game Plan" in 2006. Despite a 12-year age difference, Dwayne and Lauren have enjoyed their lives together, welcoming two daughters before eventually tying the knot in August of 2019.

John Cena met Shay Shariatzadeh while filming "Playing With Fire" in Vancouver, where she works as an engineer. They have 13 years between them, but they seem fine with the gap — they married in a private ceremony in 2020 due to the pandemic, and had another wedding in 2022 with friends and family.

As colleagues, Undertaker's relationship with fellow WWE superstar Michelle McCool originally had to be kept under wraps, but they have been married since 2010. Their 15-year age gap seems minimized by being in the same profession — they even trained together before McCool's 2022 Royal Rumble appearance.

Kurt Angle met Giovanna Yannotti, who is 17 years younger than him, on the set of "End Game" in 2009, where she was an extra. She had minor roles in a few other films, and has also done modeling work, but is busy these days being his wife and mom to all of their kids, and she also co-hosts "The Wives of Wrestling Podcast."
