Pro Wrestlers CJ Perry and Miro Separate After 7 Years of Marriage

The former couple reportedly called it quits in late 2023.

Looks like it's the end of the road for pro wrestlers CJ Perry and Miro, as they've reportedly called it quits after seven years of marriage. 

According to TMZ, which first reported the news, the All Elite Wrestling stars broke up in late 2023. The former couple, who previously went by Lana and Rusev during their tenure with World Wrestling Entertainment, also portrayed a married duo in the ring. 

"Miro and I have made the difficult decision to separate after many wonderful years together, and have decided to move on as friends, and hopefully onscreen characters somewhere down the road," CJ told the outlet in a statement.

TMZ notes that neither party has officially filed for divorce, and that Miro has moved back to his native Bulgaria. The couple was last photographed in public together in December 2022. 

CJ and Miro, both 38, tied the knot in July 2016.

The news comes just days after CJ hit the red carpet solo at the DIRECTV Streaming with the Stars event in Beverly Hills, California. She also stepped out for the premiere of Kristen Stewart's new film, Love Lies Bleeding, earlier this month.

CJ was last seen wearing her wedding ring on Dec. 11 at the premiere of Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White's The Iron Claw. Weeks later, she issued a heartfelt tribute to Miro in honor of his birthday. 

"Happy Birthday @tobemiro ! 10 years ago I met a young man with vision and to see you achieve 99 percent of those visions and dreams is truly remarkable. You’re proof of the American Dream & Capitalism!" she captioned a carousel of images. "I am blessed and thankful for all the memories in this life with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing me back to wrestling @aew. I get the giggles playing house and playing make believe with you for a living. Wishing you so much love 😘❤️🎄"
