Braun Strowman recently revealed that he’s in a new relationship.

Strowman was previously in a public relationship with WWE star Raquel Rodriguez. The ex-WWE star recently appeared on E! Entertainment’s Hot Mess, where he got honest about his love life. He shared that he’s currently dating an Italian woman, and they have known each other for six years.

Braun Strowman said, “I got a beautiful Italian girl, little 5’3″, like 130 pounds. She’s mean but that’s what I need. I need somebody to keep me in check. We’ve known each other for six years, and it just got to the point where like, we get along with each other, and I can be of your service, you can be of mine.”

A few days after Braun disclosed his relationship status, his ex-girlfriend Raquel Rodriguez logged on to Instagram to share a post. She posted a mirror selfie of herself with a caption reading, “Goal: end 2025 strong.”

Braun Strowman Would Return To Wrestling Under One Condition

Speaking on the Battleground podcast, Braun Strowman stated that he would return to the ring, but he has a condition.

Whoever wants to hire him should come up with a good offer. He also disclosed that while life has become a lot less stressful for him, he still misses being inside the ring.

I mean, these things are available for anybody that wants these (shows hands). We just got to figure out the money side of it. Because I learned when you’re good at something, you don’t do it for free.

I miss being in the ring and I miss being in the locker room. A lot of the other stuff that comes along with it, I’m enjoying the break from because it’s very stressful. I mean, I’m still traveling a lot, but I’m getting to travel instead of like, all right, it gets to where it’s a job.
