Dating History of WWE Stars Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan
Hayes and Jordan began dating in 2023, when they were both members of NXT, WWE's developmental promotion.
In February 2025, during an interview with Muscle & Fitness, Hayes revealed how Jordan helped him navigate the life of a wrestler. "Your adrenaline is high," he said. "I'll call my girlfriend and just decompress. The more (shows you do), the easier it becomes to come down, because it just becomes normal."
The couple announced on July 5, 2025, that they got engaged on the first day of that month. At the time, Jordan shared several photos of Hayes' proposal. "I said yesss! And I'd say yes in every lifetime," she wrote in the caption.
Both WWE stars have experienced a meteoric rise since meeting at NXT.
Carmelo Hayes made his official WWE debut in July 2023, facing Finn Balor while still holding the NXT Championship. He was later drafted to SmackDown in the 2024 WWE Draft.
The cruiserweight wrestler is the first NXT star drafted in the first round of the WWE Draft.
Hayes later won the 2025 Andre the Giant Battle Royal and the United States Championship.
He recently returned from a months-long WWE programming absence to team up with the 946 faction.
Jordan, 27, is currently the NXT Women's Champion.
