wwe John Laurinaitis

The mother of Nikki and Brie Bella has confirmed that her marriage to former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis is over.

John Laurinaitis married the mother of WWE stars The Bellas back in 2016 but the spotlight has been on Laurinaitis for all the wrong reasons in recent months.

Former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinatis was part of the lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon and WWE over McMahon’s alleged sexual assault and sex trafficking of a former company employee. Laurinaitis was accused of being complicit in McMahon’s behaviour and having his own affair with the employee.

That has raised questions over the state of Laurinaitis’ own marriage but those questions have now been answered by his ex-wife.

Kathy Colace Speaks After John Laurinaitis Divorce

Speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show with her daughter WWE Hall of Famer Brie Garcia (Brie Bella), Kathy Colace confirmed that her marriage to John Laurinaitis was over and the pair were divorced. Brie began by asking her mother if it was okay to make her status public:

Is it fine to tell everyone that you’re divorced? She’s not single and ready to mingle, by no means. She is, I feel like, enjoying your independent time. People are curious to know where you’re at.

Kathy Colace responded with advice from her perspective as someone going through a very challenging time following the end of her marriage to Laurinaitis:

The thing is, Brie is very protective. It’s because Brie’s not going through it. If Brie was going through something, and Nicole, I would be very protective. I will tell you how the experience is from someone that goes through it. You need time, you need silent. This is for anyone.

We all have our stories and we all have our challenges. My thought is, let yourself feel every emotion. One day, life is fine, and the next day you’re hit with something that just rocks your world. You actually feel a paralysis to yourself. If you stay on any type of social media, everyone has great advice, what they think is advice, and they have no idea what you’re going through. You need to give people grace. Everyone involved.

Whether you’re siding with one person or the other. Give everybody grace. As a person going through it, you need to feel anger, heartbreak, sadness, and recovery. Our body is made to feel emotion. When you tuck an emotion away, it will find its way out. My recommendation for anybody going through anything challenging, give yourself some grace, allow yourself to feel all the emotions that you’ll feel, and sit in silence and appreciate yourself. You will get through this.

If you need outside help to get through it, seek outside help. In regards to the haters, you’re going to hate. Maybe find it in yourself to give everyone grace, Hopefully, you’re not treating people close to you with hate.
