Carmelo Hayes, the rising star of WWE, took a moment to celebrate National Couple Day with his girlfriend Kelani Jordan, a fellow WWE superstar, amidst his hectic schedule. The 29-year-old wrestler, who was drafted to WWE’s main roster earlier this year, has been making waves in the wrestling world with his impressive performances. However, Hayes also made sure to show his softer side by sharing a romantic moment with Jordan on social media.
The clip, posted by Jordan, showed the couple posing in front of a mirror, with Hayes re-posting it and captioning it with a padlock emoji and a red heart emoji. The sweet gesture was met with enthusiasm from their fans, who were thrilled to see the loving couple’s tender moment.
Hayes has been keeping busy with his WWE schedule, having recently participated in the King of the Ring Tournament, where he defeated Baron Corbin in the first round but lost to Randy Orton in the quarterfinals. He also teamed up with Austin Theory and Grayson Waller for a six-man match against LA Knight and The Street Profits on SmackDown.
Meanwhile, Jordan, a former Michigan State University gymnastics star, has been making a name for herself in the NXT women’s division. She debuted as Dana Brooke’s protégé during NXT Gold Rush and won her official TV debut over Tatum Paxley on July 4.
The couple, who started dating in 2023, has been supporting each other through their WWE journeys. Hayes was spotted watching the King and Queen of the Ring PLE, where Gunther was crowned the 23rd King of the Ring, and was even seen live-streaming the event on his phone. When a fan took a screenshot of the stream and shared it online, Hayes responded with witty remarks, showing his playful side.
Although Hayes is not currently advertised for Friday’s SmackDown, fans can expect to see him appear soon, possibly to continue his rivalry with LA Knight. As the rising star continues to shine in the WWE universe, fans can’t help but be excited for what’s to come from this talented wrestler and his loving relationship with Jordan.
