Rhea Ripley & Buddy Matthews get married
WWE’s Rhea Ripley & AEW’s Buddy Matthews have announced their marriage.
Ripley posted a photo of the couple on her Instagram page late Wednesday with the caption “Til death. 🖤 23.06.24,” indicating that the two were wed this past Sunday.
Ripley, 27, and Matthews, 35, went public with their relationship in 2022. The couple announced their engagement last August.
Matthews (real name Matthew Adams) and Ripley (real name Demi Bennett) are both Australian natives.
Ripley is currently out of action with an unspecified injury that forced her to vacate the WWE Women’s World Championship on the April 15 edition of Raw with her right arm in a sling.
Matthews is a former AEW World Trios Champion who last wrestled on the June 15 AEW Collision episode, where Matthews, Brody King, and Malakai Black of House of Black defeated the AEW Unified Trios Champions Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, and Juice Robinson in a non-title six-man tag.
