WWE - 5 things you didn't know about Sheamus' wife, Isabella Revilla
In late 2017, former WWE Champion Sheamus started dating Isabella Revilla. After spending about four years together, the couple announced their engagement in July last year. The Celtic Warrior proposed to his girlfriend at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.

If you don’t know by now, I am a proud Filipina-American. Even though I was born & raised in Jersey City, my Mom made sure my sister and I knew where our family came from. It’s one of the things I miss most about her. The Filipino food, getting yelled at in Tagalog, the Fil-Am Christmas parties, the stories about the Philippines," she wrote.
In her post, Isabella stated that she previously dreaded celebrating Asian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Nevertheless, she now likes to celebrate being an Asian-American woman.

In another post in April of that same year, she disclosed that she was a fan of Balor, Dean Ambrose (aka Jon Moxley), and the man who later became her husband, Sheamus.

Besides her passion for WWE, Isabella is a big soccer fan. She supports Bayern Munich, Nashville SC, and Sheamus' favorite club, Liverpool.
