NXT superstar Kelani Jordan and WWE SmackDown superstar Carmelo Hayes are getting married. Jordan announced via her official Instagram account today that she had accepted a marriage proposal from Hayes.
Posting a series of photos of the couple with her new engagement ring, Jordan shared the happy news with her followers. “I said yesss! And I’d say yes in every lifetime. 💍🤍” she wrote in the caption.
The couple has been in a relationship for approximately two years, with their romance blossoming during their time training and performing together at the WWE Performance Center and on the NXT brand.

After a decorated run in NXT where he was a two-time NXT Champion, Hayes was drafted to Friday Night SmackDown in 2024. He recently won the 2025 André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania weekend. Jordan has simultaneously risen through the ranks of NXT, making history by becoming the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion at NXT Battleground in 2024.
The engagement comes as both performers are heavily featured on WWE programming. Carmelo Hayes is an active member of the SmackDown roster, while Kelani Jordan continues to be a top star in the NXT women’s division
