The lucky guy is a former independent wrestler named Patrick Ellrich, who has shared a tag team run with WWE star Xavier Woods in the past. The two lovebirds have planned to get married in 2026.

Garcia returned to WWE last year in October. Then, one year later, in October 2025, she signed a two-year deal with the Stamford-based company. She revealed this incredible news on her Instagram profile.
