Bryan Danielson, popularly known to
WWE
fans as Daniel Bryan, has long been one of professional wrestling's most beloved figures. While his in-ring accolades are well documented, his personal life is equally captivating - especially his relationship with former WWE Diva Brie Bella, now known as Brie Garcia.
From on-screen drama to real-life romance
The couple's journey began in 2010, when a WWE storyline brought Brie, her twin sister Nikki Bella, and Danielson into a televised love triangle. Although the plotline saw Danielson's character choosing another wrestler, real life had other plans. The chemistry between Bryan and Brie blossomed off-screen and quickly turned into a genuine romance.

By September 2013, Bryan proposed to Brie during a scenic hike in Big Sur, California - a moment captured on the reality show Total Divas.
Brie later described him as more nervous than she had ever seen, even compared to his biggest matches. The duo tied the knot on April 11, 2014, at a private ceremony in Sedona, Arizona, surrounded by fellow WWE stars.
Building a life beyond the ring
Since their wedding, the couple has embraced both parenthood and life in the public eye. They welcomed their first child, daughter Birdie Joe, in May 2017, followed by son Buddy Dessert in August 2020.
While Danielson continues to shine in AEW as part of the Blackpool Combat Club, Brie has successfully transitioned into several ventures beyond wrestling.
A former WWE Divas Champion and 2020 Hall of Fame inductee, she's expanded her presence into business, entertainment, and media.
Together with sister Nikki, Brie co-founded lifestyle ventures such as the wine label Bonita Bonita and skincare brand Nicole + Brizee. She also co-hosts the popular podcast The Nikki & Brie Show and boasts over 8.3 million followers on Instagram.
Despite the hectic nature of their careers, Bryan and Brie have remained a steadfast couple.
Their love story is one of shared values, mutual respect, and public evolution. From WWE locker rooms to red carpet events, they've consistently supported each other's ambitions.
Now married for over a decade, the pair continues to be a fan-favorite duo both in and outside the ring. As Bryan Danielson thrives in AEW and Brie builds her post-wrestling empire, their bond remains a reminder that even in the world of scripted feuds, real love can prevail.
