17 Things You Didn't Know About Wade Barrett

4. He€™s Bad News In Relationships

Bennett's most famous romantic relationship was with WWE co-worker Victoria 'Alicia Fox' Crawford. Details about their time together are sketchy, primarily because the two managed to keep the relationship under wraps for so long, and didn€™t speak about it in interviews or make it a part of storylines. Scuttlebutt (like gossip on the down low) is that, far from being a hook-up, the relationship lasted two years. After things ended and the fact of the romance leaked, Crawford and Bennett would find their break-up milked for a Total Divas storyline or two, with Foxy telling her ex that he'd broken her heart. True to form, Bennett delivered the Bad News and replied by telling her flat-out on camera that he'd dumped her because he didn't see the thing going anywhere, and didn't want to waste his - or her - time. Ouch... but it€™s worth remembering that Total Divas exists in its own little kayfabed bubble, and there's no guarantee that anything happening on that show has a basis in 'reality'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKfWQn43uYk In what seemed like much more of a shoot, Bennett's next girlfriend Rachel David (the Canadian TV host and broadcaster) cut a heartfelt YouTube video for fans at the end of August last year, admitting that she was having a terrible time due to having broken up with her partner two weeks beforehand, and had then been let go by her then employers. Eagle-eyed WWE obsessives had already spotted a certain Wade Barrett on her Instagram dating back to the previous December, and she'd had him on a YouTube cooking clip munching homemade cookies in May 2015. https://youtu.be/VQlvTfs77fM?t=5m5s I guess she stopped making the cookies. Damn those cookies. Anyhow, Barrett's very public bromance with Sheamus is still the best relationship of his that I know about. Those guys are adorable together.
