Seth Rollins Reveals How He and Becky Lynch Began Dating

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins stand as monumental figures in WWE history, each having won world titles multiple times and working in the past as well. In fact, Rollins has now revealed how he and Lynch started dating.

Lynch and Rollins are a happily married couple with a young daughter and have shared both their personal and work lives for years. Their real-life romance often shows up in WWE storylines, making their partnership a hit with fans. This connection has helped both of them succeed on-screen, especially during their time as WWE champions.

While speaking on the Pivot Podcast, Seth Rollins revealed how he started dating Becky Lynch, explaining that neither of them had planned to date within the wrestling business. They both felt it could be a recipe for disaster since, if things didn’t work out, they’d still have to work together, travel together, and see each other date other people, which could get messy. Rollins didn’t want any part of that, as it could lead to emotional complications and mental hurdles.

They met around 2014 and were friends for four or five years, just hanging out in a platonic way, finding they had a lot in common. They both shared a love for wrestling and had similar backgrounds, with Lynch coming from the independent wrestling scene in Ireland. Over time, it became a “right place, right time” situation, and they realized dating made sense.

“I sort of fell into it a little bit. I think neither of us really wanted to date in the business that much. It just seemed like a recipe for disaster, mostly because if it goes wrong, then you still have to work with that person, travel with that person, see that person date other people—that’s just… it’s a mess. You don’t want any of that when you break up with somebody. Please, I don’t want any of that. Then you’re playing games, and it’s a whole different set of mental hurdles you have to jump over.

We were both kind of like, you know, we were friends for… we met, like, gosh, maybe 2014 or something like that. So we’d been friends for, like, four or five years. Good friends. Hung out, totally platonic, just chilling. We had a lot in common. Obviously, we shared a love for our industry and stuff like that. We have a similar kind of background—she came from the indies in Ireland as well. And so, yeah, I mean, we had a lot in common, and then it was just sort of a right-place, right-time thing. It made sense.“

Once sparks started flying, Rollins knew right away. They began dating in January, and by March, he was already picking out a ring. He felt sure this was the real deal. They got engaged that summer and later in 2020, they welcomed their baby—a true COVID-era baby.

“As soon as sparks started flying, I knew right away. We started dating in January, and I was picking out a ring in March, you know what I mean? Like, I was ready to rock. We were engaged that summer, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, this is it.’ It made too much sense at that point. I’m like, ‘This is it, done and dusted. Easy breezy.’ “And then we had our baby in 2020—full COVID baby.”

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have been spending more time together now that Lynch isn’t part of WWE for the time being. Nonetheless, Rollins and Lynch remain one of wrestling’s biggest success stories when in comes to relationships and fans will continue to love them no matter what.
