WWE couple Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan are married. The wrestling stars officially tied the knot in Miami on October 17, 2026, according to reports of their wedding, capping a romance that began in 2023.
Hayes, whose legal name is Christian Brigham, and Jordan, whose legal name is Lea Mitchell, first began their relationship in 2023 before reaching this milestone. Their wedding in Miami brought together family, friends and fellow wrestling stars for a celebration of a love story that fans have followed inside and outside the ring.
A wrestling romance fans have cheered
Both Hayes and Jordan are prominent WWE performers, and their relationship has been one of the most talked-about romances in wrestling in recent years. Fans have watched them support each other through matches, storylines and title runs, and the wedding news was greeted with delight across wrestling social media.
The Miami ceremony, according to the wedding roundup reports, was the latest in a busy autumn for celebrity weddings, with Hayes and Jordan joining Simu Liu and Allison Hsu among the October newlyweds. For WWE fans, though, this wedding felt personal: two of their own, starting a new chapter together.
Neither star has yet shared extensive wedding photos publicly, but congratulations from colleagues and fans have flooded their social media pages, with many praising the couple’s chemistry and the way they have balanced demanding wrestling schedules with a private, steady relationship.
From first meeting to forever
Hayes and Jordan’s relationship began in 2023, and the couple have grown together in the public eye while keeping the most personal details of their romance private. That balance, fans say, is part of what makes them so popular: they share enough to let supporters celebrate with them, without turning their relationship into a storyline.
The choice of Miami for the wedding also felt fitting. The city, with its beaches, sunshine and party spirit, is a favourite for celebrations, and it gave the couple a backdrop as bright as the occasion itself. Friends and family gathered to witness the vows, and the celebrations that followed were, by all accounts, joyful.
What’s next for the newlyweds
As married life begins, both Hayes and Jordan remain active in WWE, and fans are already wondering how married life might feature in their on-screen personas, or whether the couple will keep their professional and personal lives firmly separate.
Whatever they choose, the wedding marks a happy milestone for two performers at the top of their game. From a relationship that began in 2023 to wedding vows in Miami in 2026, Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan have given wrestling fans a real-life love story to cheer, and the congratulations are still pouring in.
