Carmella is married to former NXT Superstar and current commentator Corey Graves. The relationship between Corey Graves and Carmella started in early 2019 as per reports. WWE had never plotted to reveal their relationship on-screen but before Carmella’s return with a new gimmick in late 2020, Paul Heyman once addressed Graves as Diva’s boyfriend during a furious promo.

Things got nasty when Graves’ ex-wife accused Carmella of being the reason for the couple’s divorce. After that Carmella had thrown light onto the allegations and said:

“Honestly, it was super difficult. I’ve been in the public eye, but I’ve never been to a point where, you know, stories or allegations were coming out.”

“I was getting death threats, I was just getting all these awful things said about me,” she stated. “My grandmother’s calling me, ‘What is this? You’re on the New York Post about wrecking a home!’ And I’m like, ‘No!’”
