AEW’s star couple, CJ Perry, known to wrestling fans as Lana during her WWE tenure, and her husband Miro (Rusev) have announced their separation after seven years of marriage.
The news broke today through TMZ Sports, revealing that the decision to part ways was a mutual one, devoid of any dramatics or scandals. Despite their marital split, the duo intends to maintain an amicable relationship, both personally and professionally.
In her statement to TMZ, Perry expressed the nature of their decision. She stated, “Miro and I have made the difficult decision to separate after many wonderful years together. We’ve chosen to move forward as friends, and perhaps collaborate as onscreen personas in the future.” TMZ also reported that the separation does not come after any kind of fight of cheating and that the two simply grew apart over the years.
However, recent events have sidelined their in-ring appearances in the wrestling world, with Miro last competing at AEW Worlds End and Perry facing health challenges following a hospitalization due to an infection in December.
How long have CJ Perry and Miro been together?
AEW star CJ Perry and Miro have officially called it quits on their seven-year marriage, leaving fans stunned by the decision. Although their journey together has concluded, it began in the world of wrestling, where Miro and CJ Perry first met. Miro once shared in an interview that their connection grew during their shared travels for wrestling events. Initially a friendship, their bond deepened over time, especially during their frequent road trips.
Looking back, Miro and CJ Perry’s romantic relationship blossomed during their time with WWE in 2015. Despite their scripted breakup on-screen, their off-screen connection only strengthened, leading to their marriage the following year.
While the news of Miro and Perry’s separation may have caught many off guard, speaking to TMZ, Perry expressed their mutual decision to part ways amicably, with hopes of collaborating again in the future.
