Hayes and Jordan started dating in 2023, when both were in NXT. Hayes proposed in July 2025 at the Grand Wailea resort on Maui, and Jordan announced the engagement on Instagram. In April, Hayes said on the Battleground Podcast that the wedding would be in October, after engagement photos led some fans to believe the two had already gotten married.
Jordan won the NXT Women’s Championship from Kendal Grey at NXT Heatwave on August 30. She was also the first NXT Women’s North American Champion. Hayes is a former WWE United States Champion and NXT Champion.
Congratulations to the couple.
