Alongside posting the photograph, the Australia born WWE star wrote, “Forever & Always.” The motive behind writing this in the caption could be to hit back at the trolls who’ve continuously targeted her real-life relationship with her partner due to the on-screen angle with Dirty Dom.
In a way to give a reply to people who’ve been questioning Rhea’s relationship with her partner, she said that they’ll stay together forever. Whether she posted this picture to take a dig at the haters or was it just a casual post is not known. But the duo looks absolutely hilarious in it.
Since when have Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews been together?
Rhea and Buddy’s love story isn’t really a new one, as the two have been together for years. Both of these Australian-origin pro wrestlers reportedly started dating in 2020, when Matthews was still signed to WWE. At that point, the two started bonding well and got into a relationship.
However, they made their relationship public just about a year ago, in 2022. Their love life was going pretty well until Mami was put into an on-screen storyline with Dominik. As Ripley was often seen with Dom, rumors started circulating about a breakup with her real-life partner.
But all those rumors were debunked strongly by the pro wrestling duo as they announced their engagement. Sharing the news on her Instagram, The Eradicator posted a beautiful picture on August 9, 2023. In the engagement post, Ripley shared her excitement by writing, “1000x YES! Pure Fuc**** Happiness!”
