Figuring Out the Buddy Murphy and Rhea Ripley Thing
Okay, so I started seeing Buddy Matthews (you know, formerly Buddy Murphy in WWE) and Rhea Ripley popping up together here and there, not just in wrestling angles. Made me kinda curious, you know? Like, is this a work, or is it real life? You see these pairings in wrestling all the time, sometimes it’s just for the cameras, sometimes it’s the real deal.
So, first thing I did, jumped online. Just typed in the basics, like “Buddy Murphy Rhea Ripley dating”. Got a whole mess of results, naturally. Lots of fan forums, gossip sites, people just guessing. You gotta wade through a lot of that stuff.
Then I tried mixing it up. Searched for stuff like:
- Buddy Matthews Rhea Ripley together
- Are Buddy and Rhea a couple
- Rhea Ripley boyfriend
Still, a lot of noise. Saw plenty about their on-screen interactions, especially when they were kinda linked in storylines or factions. But I was looking for the off-screen proof, the real story.
I started paying more attention to their social media. You know, Instagram, Twitter. That’s often where you find the little clues. Started noticing they’d pop up in photos together, not just big group shots, but smaller ones, looking kinda cozy. There was this one picture, I think it was them working out together? That got me thinking, okay, maybe there’s something more here than just colleagues.
Digging a bit deeper, I looked for interviews. Sometimes wrestlers drop hints or even talk openly about their relationships in interviews, especially on podcasts or wrestling news sites. Found a few mentions where Rhea kinda acknowledged being in a relationship, but wasn’t always super specific about who right away. Same with Buddy.
It felt like putting puzzle pieces together. A picture here, a vague comment there. Then, eventually, they became more open about it themselves. Started posting clearer pictures together, commenting on each other’s stuff more obviously. It wasn’t like one big announcement at first, more like a gradual reveal through their own actions online.
The real confirmation, the undeniable proof, came later when they actually announced their engagement. Saw the posts, the pictures of the ring. That pretty much sealed the deal, ended all the speculation. It went from “Are they?” to “Oh wow, they’re getting married!”
So yeah, it wasn’t just one search. It was a process of looking around, filtering out the fan rumors, checking their socials, looking for interview snippets, and just observing until they confirmed it themselves. Took a bit of digging, but figured it out eventually. Pretty cool for them, honestly.
