Samantha Rotunda, Bray Wyatt's wife, once lived a challenging life. She and her husband were college sweethearts until rumors of infidelity marred her life.
Professional wrestler Bray Wyatt's wife, Samantha Rotunda, had her heart broken when her famous husband became involved in a controversy with another woman he met at WWE wrestling events.
Now, Samantha has found her new love and success. Despite her fresh start, her relationship with Bray, whose real name is Windham Rotunda, piqued people's interest.

Bray and the new woman in his life, WWE ring announcer JoJo Offerman, announced about a year ago on social media that they were engaged. They already have two children together.
However, the couple's seemingly happy relationship has a tainted history, as their romance reportedly began while Bray was still married to Samantha Rotunda, who ended up divorcing him.
Bray Wyatt's Relationship with JoJo Offerman
Bray and JoJo recently marked a new chapter of their lives as a newly-engaged pair. In April 2022, JoJo posted the news on her Instagram page, featuring her engagement ring. Her post read:
"A million times YES! 😍😭 I love you Windham and I can't wait to marry you (even though it feels like we're already married 😜). Here's to forever ❤️ @thewindhamrotunda."
In reply to JoJo's post, Bray, who shares two kids, Knash and Hyrie Rotunda, with her, expressed his gratitude as he felt lucky to have her as his partner. Their engagement came four years after Bray publicly revealed their relationship.
In 2018, he publicly confirmed his relationship with JoJo for the first time by posting a photo of them together on his Instagram page. The post received over 9,000 likes; however, there were no comments.
JoJo frequently expresses her deep affection for Bray on her Instagram page. She even wrote a touching birthday tribute to her fiancé on Instagram one month after their engagement.
In a post from May 2021, she shared two photos: one of her kissing Bray on the cheek and the other of them smiling together for the camera. JoJo declared that Bray was the reason for everything and expressed her gratitude to him.
She also wrote another tribute to Bray on Valentine's Day that same year, where she called him her best friend, confidant, and partner, highlighting his ability to make her laugh daily.
However, there haven't been many similar posts from the pair this year. The only Instagram post in 2023 was one in which JoJo dedicated Valentine's Day to both of her children.
Bray Wyatt's Marriage & Scandalous Divorce
Bray and JoJo's relationship sparked a controversy. Before JoJo, Bray was married to Samantha, his ex-wife and former college sweetheart.
In 2012, Samantha and Bray tied the knot, per the Daily Mail. However, their marital bliss ended when Bray allegedly walked out on his wife and two daughters.
In 2017, Samantha filed for divorce from Bray in Hernando County, Florida, accusing him of infidelity without revealing the identity of the person he was involved with. It was later uncovered that JoJo was the woman in question.
Ray Rafool, Samantha's lawyer in Miami, told the Daily Mail that they had found phone records showing Bray was constantly communicating with JoJo.
Meanwhile, Bray's lawyer, Jim Knox, requested privacy and hoped the case could be resolved soon. Amid the lawyer's statement, Bray reportedly filed a counter-petition for divorce and sought an injunction to prevent his wife from publicizing their split.
Samantha, according to Bray, made defamatory statements and posted lies on social media to harm his reputation and business ventures in the entertainment industry. Samantha denied these claims and accused Bray of infidelity.
The situation between Samantha and Bray deteriorated further when, in 2018, Samantha accused Bray of spending his money on unnecessary items instead of providing spousal and child support.
The court awarded Samantha $14,735 in monthly spousal and child support. Although Bray agreed to provide financial aid monthly, he reportedly refused to comply with the agreement.
Samantha and Bray's marriage was among many high-profile relationships that wrestling fans follow. Other notable wrestlers whose relationships fascinate fans are The Undertaker, John Cena, and Brock Lesnar.
Samantha discovered a new chapter in her love story after her divorce from Bray in 2017.
Bray Wyatt' Ex-wife Comes from a Family of Veterans
Samantha was only 31 when she filed for divorce from Bray. Apart from being recognized for her association with her ex-husband, Samantha had gained recognition for a different aspect of her life.
She hails from a family of veterans. She once shared on Instagram that both her parents had served in the United States Coast Guard, having received training from the military outfit.
Samantha expressed great pride in her parents, who built a fulfilling life for themselves and their loved ones through selfless service to their country.
Samantha not only takes great pride in her family, but she is also proud of her work as a realtor with five years of experience. In 2018, she worked for Southern Belle Realty in Brooksville, Florida, and became Zillow's top-rated agent.
Before moving to Florida, her Zillow profile states that she grew up in West Texas and attended college in Southern Alabama. Additionally, she has gained numerous satisfied clients throughout her career.
Samantha Rotunda Has Already Moved On
Samantha discovered a new chapter in her love story after her divorce from Bray in 2017. She ultimately tied the knot with her new husband, Dan Pixley, in March 2021.
Samantha has two children with Bray: Kendyl and Cadyn Rotunda. However, she welcomed a new child with Dan named Livvy. The proud wife couldn't be more grateful for Dan's unwavering support as a father and provider for the family.
Dan owns GrassRoots Property Services, a landscape and agriculture company. His company serves residents of Hernando and Citrus counties with all of their lawn care and property maintenance needs.
Samantha's social media pages are full of pictures of how happy and fulfilled she is with her family and friends. She loves spending time with her beautiful daughters and loving husband.
On Father's Day in 2022, Samantha paid tribute to Dan. In her post, she noted that her husband is everything to her and that he completes their family. She said, "You're the fun uncle and the even cooler Dad. We love you beyond measure."
