Kelani Jordan opens up about her relationship with Carmelo Hayes
Kelani Jordan spoke to Justin Dillon in an episode of Casual Conversations with The Classic in August earlier this year. The NXT star talked about several things, including her journey as a gymnast, transitioning into a professional wrestler, winning her first title on WWE's developmental brand, and more.
The 26-year-old also mentioned the details about the beginning of her relationship with Carmelo Hayes. She revealed that the two first met at the Performance Center, and Hayes was the one who made the first move by messaging her.
"So we were at the Performance Center, and I was a few months in. It felt like time stood still, and we were shaking hands, and I was greeting everyone. He was going around every single day shaking everyone's hands, but in that moment, it felt like time stood still, and we both were just like staring at each other, and then we just walked away [...] Apparently, I think he told one of our coaches like, 'Wow, that girl is so beautiful' but I didn't know that at the time. Eventually, time passed, and he ended up messaging me, and that was it. And, then we went and got some tacos," Jordan said. [From 52:00 to 52:55]
