Professional Wrestler Bianca Belair and her husband, Montez Ford, dated for over a year before they announced their engagement in 2017.
Bianca’s husband, Kenneth Crawford, better known as Montez Ford, is a notable professional wrestler.
He’s part of the tag team The Street Profits alongside his partner Angelo Dawkins. Together, they’ve won the RAW Tag Team Championship, SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and NXT Tag Team Championship, proving they’re one of WWE’s top tag teams.
Bianca Belair and her husband, Montez Ford, met for the first time in 2016 at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, where they both trained to become professional wrestlers.
As cliched as it sounds, they bumped into each other during a night out, and they felt connected in nearly no time.
It was Bianca who made the first move in their relationship. The wrestler exposed the exclusive fact during an interview at the Daytime TV Talk Show with host Sherri Shepherd, saying:
That was my first time ever like going after a guy. But my very first time seeing him I told my friend, I was like, ‘Keep him away from me, that is a beautiful man.
Although Bianca tried to get his attention, Montez wasn’t clear on the signs she was sending.
The wrestler shared that Montez was initially quite shy and held back from making a move out of respect.
He remained silent for a while, leaving Bianca unsure of his feelings. Just when she was about to lose hope, Montez finally broke the silence with an unexpected compliment.
Bianca recalled the moment, saying,
“Montez: I like your makeup. Bianca: Why’d you say that? Montez: I don’t know… I was nervous.”
Even though Montez clearly liked her, their early interactions were briefly thrown off track when Bianca unintentionally gave him the wrong number.
However, they found their way back to each other and dated for a year before announcing their engagement in 2017.
Wrestler Bianca Belair Effortlessly Took the Role of Stepmother to Her Husband, Montez Ford’s Two Kids From His Previous Relationship!
Unable to contain his excitement, the wrestler ended up proposing to Bianca right in the airport parking lot, ditching the original plan to do it at the Grand Canyon.
Two years later, on June 23, 2018, the couple sealed the deal and tied the knot in a heartfelt ceremony.
Five years after tying the knot, Bianca and Montez celebrated their love once again by renewing their vows in Las Vegas.
Bianca later addressed the occasion on Instagram, using her post to clarify the meaning behind their vow renewal and set the record straight. She wrote:
Even though we meant our vows the 1st time we said them! And I’ll marry you over and over and over again.
This speaks volumes about their sacred connection, which leads them to choose each other regardless of circumstances.
Following their marriage, Bianca graciously took the role of the stepmother of Montez’s two children, Liam and Morgan, from his previous relationship.
Their relationship is nothing short of love and fun, as seen in their reality show Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez, which aired on Hulu starting February 2, 2024.
The show provided a glimpse into their lives, both in and out of the wrestling ring, showcasing their playful dynamic and strong bond.
For example, Bianca once posted a funny Instagram photo teasing Montez for sleeping in a beard bonnet to keep his beard neat.
In Case You Didn’t Know
- Before wrestling, Bianca had a successful career as a CrossFit athlete and powerlifter.
- Bianca’s husband, Montez, served in the United States Marine Corps for four years and even earned a perfect score on the Marines’ physical fitness test.
