The year 2023 has been an extremely special one for Rhea Ripley. She became the youngest grand slam champion after she defeated Charlotte Flair on Day 1 of WrestleMania 39. Apart from that; she has been through some of the most difficult title defenses in her career. And she has been a much sought-after star in the company. Apart from that, Ripley also got engaged to her long-time beau, Buddy Matthews, in August this year. As 2024 approaches, the Australian has subtly hinted at a major announcement concerning her personal life.
Is Rhea Ripley going to take the next big step in her personal life?
While fans have been uncertain about this question, the answer might be a yes. While Ripley and Matthews have been engaged since August, the two could tie the knot soon. In an Instagram post shared by her, we saw Ripley spent time with Matthews. What stole everyone’s attention was the caption she wrote underneath. She wrote, “Very excited to spend the rest of my life with this one 😘❤️ 2024 will be special!.” This could be a hint that the two could get married in 2024.

While many fans have believed that Ripley has been dating Dominik Mysterio due to their on-screen chemistry, it is all nothing but a kayfabe. Ripley met Matthews while he was still working with WWE. Matthews, however, left the company the following year, but the two still stayed in touch. Love blossomed between the two and they got engaged in August 2023.
The reason why many believed that Ripley and Mysterio were together was due to their segments together on WWE. It was The Eradicator who was persuading Dominik Mysterio to join Judgment Day. Apart from that, Ripley’s protective nature for him also made fans believe that the two are together.

However, fans might not be aware, but Mysterio is already head over heels for someone outside the ring. Dirty Dom met Marie Juliette back in high school. The two used to go to the same Spanish class and instantly hit off. Mysterio has been dating Juliette since 2011 and the two have been happily engaged. While he has admitted that staying on the road makes it hard, he also stated that the two have a great understanding. Due to this, their relationship has taken positive strides just like Ripley’s.
