WWE - 5 things you didn't know about Dominik Mysterio's real-life girlfriend Marie Juliette
Dominik Mysterio made his first WWE appearance in 2005 as a child, participating in his father's feud with Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero. About a decade and a half later, he became a superstar himself.
Over the past three years, the 25-year-old competed on Monday Night RAW and SmackDown, winning the WWE SmackDown Tag Team titles once alongside his father, Rey Mysterio.
A few weeks ago, Dominik turned on his father and joined The Judgment Day. Since then, he has been close to Rhea Ripley. Some fans even believed they were dating in real life. However, that is untrue. While The Nightmare is currently in a relationship with AEW star Buddy Matthews in real life, Dominik has been dating a woman called Marie Juliette Virissimo for several years.
Here are five things you didn't know about Dominik Mysterio's real-life girlfriend.

Earlier this year, Dominik posted a photo of himself with his girlfriend on his Instagram account to celebrate her birthday. He captioned it with a heartfelt message, describing Marie Juliette as his "beautiful better half" and "best friend".
"Happy 25th Birthday to my beautiful better half! Thank you for being my best friend and bringing so much joy and happiness into my life! Love you MJ Happy Birthday 🎉❤️" he wrote.
Dominik was also born in 1997. However, he is three months older than his girlfriend.

Marie Juliette went to the same high school as her boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio. The couple first met in Spanish class.
Celebrating their anniversary two years ago, Dominik disclosed in an Instagram post that he was not even supposed to be in that Spanish class where he met Marie Juliette.
"I still remember the first day I laid eyes on you in a Spanish class I should’ve never been in!! Thank you for all the unconditional love and support throughout our journey together. You are the most kindhearted and hardworking person I know. I love you babe," he wrote.

#2. Marie Juliette helped mold Dominik Mysterio into the man he is today
Since Dominik turned on his father and joined The Judgment Day, Rhea Ripley has taken credit for "turning him into a man." While this is part of a storyline in WWE, Marie Juliette was the one who helped mold Dominik into the man he is today in real life.

"Thank you for being by my side on this crazy journey and thank you for helping mold me into the man I am becoming," he wrote.
In other Instagram posts, Dominik has also stated that he is "blessed" to have his high school sweetheart by his side.
#1. Marie Juliette is Dominik Mysterio's biggest supporter
Dominik Mysterio has chosen to follow in his father's footsteps and pursue a career in WWE. While he has the support of his father Rey, mother Angie, and sister Aliyah, Marie Juliette is seemingly his biggest supporter.
Celebrating her 22nd birthday in 2019, Dominik described Marie Juliette as "his biggest support system" in an Instagram post.
"I love you so much Mj thank you for being such an incredible human being and my biggest support system," he wrote.
The current WWE Superstar also seemingly intends on spending the rest of his life with his high school sweetheart, as he disclosed in the same post.
