What fans don’t know about Cody Rhodes and Brandi Rhodes’ relationship story

Brandi Rhodes and Cody Rhodes are considered to be one of the strongest power couples in wrestling. Since they got married on September 12, 2013, their romantic relationship has undergone profound changes in their careers, including their daring exit from WWE in 2016 and their managerial roles in the formation of All Elite Wrestling.

Out of the limelight, their story is full of surprising beginnings, mischievous misunderstandings, and a solid foundation that has been strengthened over time. Cody and Brandi have a history of personal and business togetherness at the pinnacle of the wrestling business, spanning from first dates together to the establishment of a multi-million-dollar enterprise.

From Waffle House dates to a lifelong partnership

The fact that the legendary Dusty Rhodes was Cody's father indirectly introduced them to each other, as he initially noticed Brandi and brought him to Cody. At the time they met, everything was done well, and they continued arguing over who had initiated the process.


Cody claims that Brandi was brave in the first place, and Brandi claims it was a misunderstanding. Their initial date was at Waffle House, and it was a more conventional outing at Cracker Barrel.

For Brandi, the defining moment came when she realized Cody was the one, on the third date at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. This event was the beginning of a relationship that would turn out into a marriage and business enterprise.

Building wealth, family, and a wrestling legacy

Over the years, the two have had a net worth of about $15 million. Cody has an estimated annual income of $3 million from WWE, and he also endorses brands such as PRIME Hydration, Mattel, and Fanatics.

Brandi, on the other hand, has blazed her own trail, with a net worth estimated at $7 million net worth, enabled by her roles as a broadcaster, executive, and entrepreneur, and by her own business, Naked Mind Yoga and Pilates.

Cody and his girlfriend live in Florida and lead a luxurious life, owning cars such as a Lamborghini Urus, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. They also have two daughters: Liberty Iris, born in 2021, and Leilani Ella, born in 2025. It is worth noting that, despite being the couple's second pregnancy, they managed to uphold their privacy, which shocked fans and further strengthened their potential to manage fame and personal boundaries.
