“I Am a Single Guy”: “Too Big” Ronnie Coleman Had a Hard Time Finding Girlfriend, Despite Already Having Won 3 Mr. Olympia Titles in 2001

Ronnie Coleman is one of the most notable and successful American bodybuilders. From 1998 to 2005, he won the IFBB Mr. Olympia for eight years in a row. And with that, he enjoyed his fair share of stardom.

But after becoming a celebrity, the stars hardly get some privacy and are in the limelight most of the time. From their professional to their personal life, their every move is scrutinized. Hence, some celebrities go to extreme lengths to keep their matters private. Just like them, Ronnie Coleman, too, has managed to keep his private life away from prying eyes.

Were Girls afraid of Ronnie Coleman?

There is a common conception in society that it is easy for famous people to get a partner. But contrary to popular belief, Ronnie Coleman had a hard time finding a girlfriend. One might think that girls would be throwing themselves at him, but that was not the case for him. In an interview back in 2001, he revealed that girls were, in fact, afraid of him.

In 2001, Ronnie Coleman appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. On the show, questions were asked about the star’s dating life. And ever the secret keeper, Coleman revealed that he was single. However, that was hard to accept for the host. So Ronnie further explained the reason behind his tough luck with love. He said, “I’m a single guy. They’re all afraid of me. They think I’m gonna hurt them.”

Digging deeper into his personal affairs, Leno asked if he had any groupies. Though a bit shy, Ronnie accepted that he did have a few. He was quick to add that he didn’t let that get in the way of his training. “Well, I get a few. But I try not to get too many though. That kind of like takes away from workout and stuff,” he said.

Ronnie Coleman’s relationship

Despite being in the public eye for decades now, not much is known about his personal affairs. It is commendable how ‘the king’ has never been a part of a dating scandal or an illicit affair. He has kept a clean record. Whatever is known to the public, be it about his health, surgery, or relationship, is what he has wanted them to know.

There is no record of who he has dated so far. However, he has been married twice. Ronnie met his first wife, Rouaida Christine Achkar, in 1998 in Paris. She was a French-Lebanese personal trainer. After dating for several years, the couple tied the knot in 2007. However, just after a few years of marriage, they parted ways.
