After getting engaged this year, the wedding of WWE couple Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan now has a timeframe.
NXT’s Jordan, the reigning TNA Knockouts Champion, and SmackDown roster member Hayes are preparing to have their ceremony toward the end of 2026, according to Jordan in an interview with TV Insider from earlier this week.
The 31-year-old Hayes proposed to the 27-year-old Jordan on July 1, announced a few days later by the couple.
Jordan talked about the benefit of having a relationship with someone that is also in wrestling.
“I feel it’s a blessing to have someone in the business who knows the schedule, knows the time, the dedication to being the best of the best. He has helped me not only in the ring but also helped me by believing in me. Sometimes he believes in me more than I believe in myself. Actually, that happens a lot of the time. It’s amazing to have someone who understands what you’re going through and also has been a champion and also knows what it’s like to be at a top level. So if you’re at a period where you’re trying to find yourself, he just helps me so much. I’m so thankful for him,” she said.
A pro since October 2022, Jordan has previously held the WWE NXT Women’s North American title. Hayes is a former NXT Champion and former two-time NXT Men’s North American Champion who is looking for his first main roster title.
