Big E Reveals How Real Life Relationship with His Partner Kristen Began

Big E continues to share the power of positivity with every breath he takes and that is very apparent when it comes to his relationship with Mia Yim’s sister Kristen. He has now revealed how the two got together and how their relationship flourished.

While writing in the Players Tribute, Big E talked about how he started dating his girlfriend, Kristen. He noted that they have been together for almost a year, and he says it’s one of the best things in his life. Relationships have been tough for him in the past, and he admitted it took him longer than most people to start dating, but he is glad he waited.

“I’m also in love. I won’t lie … it’s really the best. My partner’s name is Kristen and we’ve been together for almost a year. Relationships haven’t always come easy for me, and like I said: It took me longer to even date at all than it takes most people. But it was worth the wait.”

Their first date was at the premiere of Montez Ford and Bianca Belair’s Hulu show Love & WWE. Big E revealed that he and Kristen had been talking online before the event. Big E knew she would be there, so he made plans to meet her. When he arrived late, he saw Titus O’Neil about to sit next to her, but Kristen told him that the seat was saved for Big E and that, their connection grew stronger.

“Our first date (kind of) was actually at the premiere of Tez and Bianca’s Hulu show Love & WWE. (I know, so cheesy.) Kristen is the sister of Mia Yim, and we’d been DM-ing for a bit in a friendly/flirty way. And I knew she was going to be at the premiere, so we made plans to hang out. “Save me a seat?” I asked her. Then I ended up running a little late — and when I got there, TITUS O’NEIL was about to sit down next to her. (What a heel!!!!) But Kristen is a real one. She was like, “No, no. This seat’s saved.” I got Titus out the way and the rest is history. (I’m kidding, I love Titus.)”

Big E stated that he felt a special energy with Kristen that he had never felt before. Even though they were surrounded by famous people, he could only focus on Kristen. He also said that if he hadn’t been recovering from his broken neck, he probably would not have had time to date her. Now, they are planning to get married and have bought a home together in Oakland.

“I just felt an energy with Kristen I’d never felt before. We were at this premiere with all these beautiful people, all these famous actors and entertainers, and none of them even registered. For me, there was only one other person in the room that night. And what’s crazy is, I knew I wanted to see her more after that — but if I hadn’t been out with my broken neck? I probably would have been too busy to make it happen. Instead, it’s like it all just fell into place. Now we’re planning to get married … we bought a home together in Oakland … I don’t know, man. It’s a good feeling. I’m excited about what’s possible.”

Big E has already accepted the fact that he may never wrestle again after his neck injury, but he is clearly making strides when it comes to his personal life. In the meantime, Big E will likely make an appearance during the 10th anniversary celebration of The New Day on the December 2nd edition of WWE RAW, so fans are excited about that segment as well. No matter what, Big E is clearly content with his life and he really wouldn’t have it any other way now.
