WWE and AEW are as much about the fighters’ drawing room affairs as they are about the core matches and storylines. So a little sneaking into their heart space is never a crime. We have seen plenty of cross-promotional wrestling couples living their best life together. Buddy Matthews and Rhea Ripley are the finest examples to lead by. But they are definitely not alone. Another adorable real-life pair belonging to AEW and WWE, respectively, are Darby Allin and Gigi Dolin.
Yet, after a memorable stint together, the couple started to showcase cracks. Are they still together going strong, hand in hand? Or have they parted ways for the better? Let’s dig deeper.

Allin and Dolin both had shining careers in two of the most competitive promotions in the wrestling world. But even before they came under the glamorous shed of WWE and AEW, they made a decent name in the outside world. Dollin, 27, brought her magic to the Stamford-based company in 2018. Before that, she left her legacy in the indie as the first-ever Shine Nova Champion.
On the other hand, Darby Allin made his fiery entry into the pro-wrestling realm back in 2014 and got himself aligned with some popular names like EVOLVE Wrestling, Full Impact Pro, Pro Wrestling Guerilla, and GCW. The duo were having a surge in their professional spheres, knowing nothing about the shake awaited their personal lives, too.
By luck, the two wrestlers met and fell in love. After a brief courtship, they decided to tie the knot on November 21, 2018.

However, the surreal happy married life was abruptly short-lived. Within just two years, the couple failed to sort out their issues and continue taking their union forward further. On August 10, 2020, the Gypsy Princess tweeted that she and Darby Allin were getting divorced without giving any closure to the fans.
But later in a candid interview, the two-time NXT tag team champion cleared the air about the unfortunate fate of her marriage.
Gigi Dolin explained the real scenario of her marriage and relationship
While it’s quite normal to be curious, the immediate jump to negativity might not be an ideal reaction to deal with such sensitive incidents. During Vickie Guerrero’s now-no-more Excuse Me podcast, the NXT star taught the fans the same lesson by clarifying the current flavor of her relationship.

It was not that she or Allin dumped each other in any way, rather they chose the mutual separation for both of their best interests as they were too immature to carry the heavy tag of marriage. The WWE wrestler noted they are still great friends. However, Gigi Dolin gave her love life a second chance exchanging vows with AEW star Nash Carter last year.
