TNA star Mara Sade just put the rumors to rest — she’s officially in a relationship with AEW’s Kevin Knight.
After sparking speculation with a cozy Instagram Story on January 1 that referred to Knight as “bae” alongside a heart emoji, Sade has now confirmed the relationship herself during an appearance on Gabby AF on January 16, 2026.
“Yes, I’m dating — officially dating Kevin Knight, Jet2Fly,” Sade revealed. “We met for the very first time and locked eyes at WrestleMania. I want to say 2020… maybe 2021.”
According to Sade, their connection began in an unexpected but memorable way. Although she typically keeps her personal life private, Sade admitted she enjoys letting fans in — just a little — when the moment feels right.
“Yeah, we literally locked eyes, and that’s when it all started. He’s amazing. I’m not someone who puts all my business out there. If something means something to you and it’s precious, you keep it to yourself… I love just sprinkling it in here and there because people are like, ‘What? What? What?’ And then I see it in headlines and I’m like, ‘Wow, where have y’all been at?’”
She also described how the relationship thrives despite their hectic wrestling schedules, calling it both grounding and fulfilling. When asked about the dynamic between them, Sade made it clear they’re each other’s biggest cheerleaders.
“It happens in the most unexpected way. You don’t even see it coming. But we make it work, and I’m so blessed because he gets it, I get it… it makes the time we do spend together even more special. It allows us to miss each other while we’re both grinding. We’re super supportive of one another. He’s my biggest fan, I’m his biggest fan. If he’s out there grinding, I’m like, ‘Do your thing.’ And when you come home, I got you.”
Mara Sade and Kevin Knight are officially wrestling’s newest power couple, and while they may not share every detail, their bond is clearly real. With both stars rising in their respective promotions, fans now have even more reason to keep watching their next moves.
