Okay, so I was trying to figure out the deal with Rhea Ripley’s husband the other day. You know, you watch the shows, see her kicking butt, and you get curious about people’s lives outside the ring. It happens.

My Search Kinda Started Randomly
I just grabbed my phone, opened up the browser. My first thought was simple, so I typed in exactly that: “Rhea Ripley husband”. Hit enter and waited to see what popped up.
Got a bunch of articles right away. Some were talking about her current relationship, which seemed promising. Others were older, maybe gossip pieces or fan theories, you know how that goes. Had to sift through a bit.
Digging Through the Results
Saw a name mentioned quite a bit: Buddy Matthews. That name rang a bell. I remembered him from WWE, used to be Buddy Murphy back then. So, I thought, okay, this looks like the right track.
- I clicked on a few links that seemed more legit, like news sites or wrestling-focused ones.
- Looked for pictures, confirmations, stuff like that.
- Found quite a few photos of them together, looking pretty official.
Finding the Real Status
Then I stumbled upon posts about their engagement. Saw the pictures they shared themselves on social media, showing off the ring and everything. That pretty much cleared it up.
So, the conclusion I came to after digging around for a bit is this: Rhea Ripley isn’t actually married yet, as far as public knowledge goes. She’s engaged to fellow wrestler Buddy Matthews. They made it official, announced it back in August 2023 I think it was.
It’s easy to get mixed up with celeb relationships, always changing. But yeah, went looking for a husband, found out she’s got a fiancé. That’s the latest I could find on it anyway.
