10 Wrestlers Who Married Their Fans
2. Bret Hart (Cinzia Rota)
Bret Hart didn't shy away from his affairs and string of one night stands in his blistering 2007 autobiography. His first wife, Julie, eventually tired of his behaviour and they separated in 1998. Four years later, the couple divorced in 2002. By then, Bret had met his next wife...
...at an autograph signing.
Yep, Hart was handing out signatures in Italy when he began flirting with Cinzia Rota. He was totally enamoured with her, and they started dating before he finally popped the question in 2004. Their romance was a short one though. Bret and Cinzia divorced in 2007 because she wanted to stay in Italy and he wanted to move.
Unable to come to a compromise, they went their separate ways. Bret has since remarried (to a woman called Stephanie Washington in 2010), but he refuses to badmouth Rota in interviews. It just wasn't meant to be. Add this one to the 'whirlwind romance' pile.
