10 Times Wrestlers Dated Celebs Vastly More Famous Than Them
5. Torrie Wilson And Alex Rodriguez
Torrie Wilson’s one of the most beloved Divas of all time. A stunning blonde bombshell, she graced the cover of FHM and Playboy (twice) and was the most popular Diva in SmackDown's early brand extension days. She captivated viewers ever since she debuted for WCW in 1999 and held their adoration until she retired in WWE in 2008.
She had plenty of onscreen relationships in wrestling, hooking up with Carlito, Dawn Marie, Billy Kidman, Billy Gunn, Shane Douglas, Tajiri, Vince McMahon, Sable and Maven. Even marrying/divorcing Kidman offscreen. But it’s her relationship with a New York Yankee that garnered the most press and attention for her.
In 2011 Torrie started dating Alex Rodriguez (also known as ‘A-Rod’) - once considered Major League Baseball’s best player in the league. They were often seen together at Los Angeles Lakers games. Prior to Torrie, Rodriguez was familiar dating celebrities that were vastly more famous than he was having had relationships and flings with Cameron Diaz, Madonna and Kate Hudson.
Torrie and Alex called it quits in 2015 after three years of dating. Since then Alex’s continued his dating streak with Jennifer Lopez and Torrie’s gotten remarried and entered the WWE Hall of Fame. It's shocking and nothing short of a travesty that Torrie’s relationship with Rodriguez drew more mainstream media attention than her relationship with Tajiri.
