"I'm very blessed to have that"- Bianca Belair on working with her husband in WWE
WWE Superstar Bianca Belair recently opened up about her husband, Montez Ford, being her biggest support system in the company.
The duo have been together since their time on NXT and tied the knot in June 2018. They recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary and have been very supportive of each other during this time.
Speaking about her husband in an interview with Sports Illustrated, Belair stated that she is "blessed" to work alongside Montez Ford in the Stamford-based promotion.
"I always say that I am blessed to do what I love with the person I love. It's cool that I'm with someone that's in the same business. We get to celebrate the highs and the lows together. This year we got to have our first WrestleMania together where he got to support me and I got to support him. I get more nervous for his matches than I get for mine because I want him to do well. He says the same thing."
The EST of WWE added that the former tag team champion loves and supports every side of her, and that is a huge morale builder:
"It's everything, especially being a woman who is very successful in what she's doing and having a man that's there and supports that and is happy for that. I feel like I'm very blessed to have that. Especially like the type of woman that I am. I'm unapologetic, I'm loud, I'm proud, I'm bold. I'm muscular, and he embraces that and loves his muscular woman. It just makes me feel good. It's just empowering." (From 6:05 to 6:56)
