SUMMARY
- Sonya Deville was asked about her dating status on a broadcast.
- In an interview with People, Deville disclosed that Toni was also considering proposing.
Professional wrestler Sonya Deville competes for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Her first day on the job was in 2015. After that, she worked on herself for nearly two years under Daria Berenato. However, she changed her name to Soniya Deville and unveiled her gimmick in 2017.
The ‘Tough Enough’ competitor has appeared in PLEs such as Royal Rumble and the women’s PLE Evolution, but her in-ring experience isn’t very noteworthy. But later in her WWE career, she metamorphosed and became an authoritative figure, opposing Adam Pearce. Fans may be aware of her career path in professional wrestling but may not be as familiar with her personal life.
When Sonya Deville came out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in 2015, she grabbed a lot of attention. It was the WWE’s response to the well-known mixed martial arts reality series, ‘The Ultimate Fighter’. Sonya was asked about her dating status on the broadcast, and Deville replied by admitting that she was seeing someone.
Sonya Deville declared her single status in 2015. However, all changed in 2023 when she became engaged to Toni Cassano. According to her Instagram bio, Cassano calls herself the ‘Real Life Xena Warrior Princess’. Toni is a fitness model on social media, having over 65k followers. Toni Cassano had two daughters and was married when she started dating Sonya.
How did Sonya Deville and Toni Cassano meet each other?
It raises the question of how Toni Cassano and Sony Deville met. Online reports state that the couple’s first encounter occurred in 2022 at one of Sonya’s WWE events. They didn’t keep their romance a secret for very long; during the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things,’ season 4, they revealed it to the public. On February 15, 2023, a day after Valentine’s Day, Sonya proposed to Cassano.

In an interview with People, Deville disclosed that Cassano was also considering proposing, not just herself. Toni also disclosed that she had purchased a wedding ring and was considering popping the question four months before Sonya made her proposal. They disclosed that they intended to tie the knot later in the same interview.
A look at Sonya Deville’s past relationships
Sonya Deville acted in a few TV shows and motion pictures, such as The Honour, before signing with WWE. The current WWE star portrayed Judith in the movie, a lesbian who develops feelings for her Muslim neighbor Kiafya (Christina Heath). Sonya and Christina fell for each other while working, had quite a relationship for three years, and posted several photos together.
Sonya Deville started a new love relationship with former WWE Superstar Zahra Schrieber after her relationship with Christina Heath ended. Superstars such as Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose have also been rumored to have a relationship with the former Women’s Tag Team Champion. These rumors were claimed to be false by the superstars, who declared themselves close friends only.
As of now, Sonya is out of action for WWE due to an injury. She and Chelsea Green won the Women’s Tag Team Championships in her last appearance. Deville would surely return to the ring soon and grab those titles again. She is currently happy with her fiancée, Cassano, and plans to get married soon.
