On the way down memory lane is the story of how Ryan Cabrera met Alexa Bliss. And as it turns out, their 2020 meet-cute was more of a misunderstanding.
“We actually met because of a rumor that we were dating,” Alexa explained on The Bellas Podcast that year. “He was liking some of my tweets, and so then a fan saw that and created a whole Instagram saying that we were dating—tagged everyone in the company on it.”
But in actuality, the athlete and the singer hadn’t even met yet.
“Miz, who’s best friends with Ryan, called him and goes, ‘Oh dude, you’re dating Alexa Bliss?’ And he goes, ‘What’s an Alexa Bliss? I don’t know what that means,'” she recalled. “And he goes, ‘Oh, it’s a girl I work with.’ So we started chatting that way, and we were just friends.”
Soon after, Ryan invited Alexa to one of his concerts in Orlando. And while she went to the show, she said she turned him down for dinner and drinks afterwards.
“He was very patient and persistent, and we became amazing friends,” she added. “And that turned into literally the most amazing relationship because he is so sweet and so amazing. He literally breaks his back for my happiness.”
Alexa and Ryan wed in April 2022 and welcomed daughter Hendrix at the end of the following year.
