A look at the relationship timeline of C.J. Perry and Miro
It’s true that the pro wrestling world has been left in disbelief by the news of C.J. Perry and Miro’s separation. But a lot of fans have been asking questions about their relationship history, so let’s take a look at the timeline of their love story.
As previously mentioned, before joining AEW, the couple was a part of WWE, and that’s probably when they got close and started dating each other in 2015. After seeing each other for some time, they eventually tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in July 2016, which was the start of a great married life for them.
While being together in real life, they also continued working with each other in the pro wrestling industry, as they were part of a love triangle storyline in WWE involving Bobby Lashley. In fact, their on-screen interactions continued in the Tony Khan-led promotion. But they weren’t seen together in public since late 2022.
After not being spotted together for over a year, it has now been confirmed that they’ve called it quits on their marriage after being together for 8 years. As far as the reason behind their split is concerned, sources claim that they just grew apart over the years. Despite splitting, neither Miro nor Miro’s wife have yet filed for divorce, so it remains to be seen if they’ll do so in the future or not.
