Maryse discussed her first meeting with The Miz on WrestleTalk TV:

"He was so mean to me. Oh my God. I couldn’t speak English, and he was rubbing it in my face. He was just like, ‘You can’t speak English. What are you doing here? You can’t work with the biggest sports entertainment company in the world if you don’t speak a word of English," Maryse said (h/t Bustle).

The Miz also recounted the first time he and Maryse started dating, with Cosmopolitan:

"She was picked, but we didn’t start dating then. About a year later we started talking after one of the Raw events. I was like, ‘Man if only I could get a girl like this. One of these days I will get a girl like this and I will be so happy.’ And I did!" The Miz said (h/t Bustle).
