Dave Bautista is a name that has been popular in the combat sports industry for over two decades now. After reaching the heights of success in WWE, The Animal underwent a successful transformation to acting, as his work as an actor has been accepted pretty well by his fans.
With Bautista being a prominent name in both the industries, his fans always try to know about his private life, especially his love life history. To answer all those questions; Dave has been married three times, but they all have ended in divorce.
Among all the three women in his wife, he had the longest-running marriage with his second wife, Angie Bautista. The couple got married in 1998, which was just two years before the pro wrestler’s WWE debut. As the two had a great bond, many people still wonder why they ended up getting separated from each other.
The actual reason behind their separation was revealed by the actor during his 2021 interview with Men’s Health. He said, “[Angie] wanted a husband who was going to be home, and I was like, ‘Make a choice. And sometimes it’s hard for me to say, but admittedly, I chose my career because it was the only shot I had.” (Via: Suggest)
As per the pro wrestler’s comments, they used to have issues due to his ambitions for his professional life. Due to all such problems in their relationship, Dave and Angie eventually got separated in 2006, which ended their 8-year-long marriage.
Dave Bautista continued to support his ex-wife despite their divorce
Despite getting divorced from his second wife back in 2006, the 6-foot-4 WWE star continued to be on good terms with her. Not just this, Bautista even supported Angie in the toughest of times, as she was dealing with ovarian cancer.
She was diagnosed with this disease in 2002, as a tumor was found on her right ovary. But with grace of the Almighty, she survived, and even gave birth to their son through IVF in 2007. This was about a year after the couple got divorced.
Even after the separation, the 54-year-old WWE legend formed the YouTube campaign “Bautista vs Cancer.” This collaboration was initiated in support of his ex-wife in 2010, as he wanted to tell everything about her journey to getting rid of the disease through resilience.
Dave Bautista’s third marriage was with Sarah Jade
After getting divorced from his second wife, Angie, Baustisa remained away from getting married for nearly a decade, although he was rumored to be dating Melina. His search for a partner ended when he got married to professional pole aerialist Sarah Jade, on October 7, 2015.
Dave and Jade were having a great time together, but Bautista’s love life with Sarah started crumbling. As per reports, their schedules were the reason behind the issues in their relationship. At last, the problems became too much, and the two eventually got divorced in 2019.
After his separation from the competitive pole dancer, the former WWE Champion hasn’t been reported to be in any relationship. Bautista is currently living a great single life while focusing primarily on his acting career in Hollywood.
