Carmelo Hayes is going through major developments in his pro and personal life
Recently, Carmelo Hayes became famous once again in WWE, where he is a member of The 946 and made a surprise return on the 12th of October during Monday Night Raw. Being out of WWE TV shows for a while, Hayes surprised everyone with his return, where he helped Royce Keys’ faction win by attacking Solo Sikoa with a crowbar.
It is worth mentioning that his return also put an end to the rumors about Hayes’s WWE future. However, there is one more significant achievement that should be mentioned regarding Carmelo Hayes. Namely, Hayes and WWE wrestler Kelani Jordan got married.
This event became a new milestone in their life. On the 17th of October, 2026, they celebrated their wedding day in Miami, Florida. Previously, in July 2025, they announced their engagement.

Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan wedding and dating history
Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan started dating in 2023 and have been together since then. The two met each other when they were involved in their respective professional wrestling career.
The two got engaged in July 2025 after Hayes popped the question to Jordan while they were in Maui, Hawaii. On social media, Jordan had disclosed the good news of getting engaged with photos of the engagement taken on July 1, 2025.
However, early in 2026, Hayes had stated that the pictures were not of the wedding but of the engagement. In one of his appearances on Battleground Podcast, Hayes revealed that the wedding would take place in October and congratulated Jordan for planning most of the things.
They have also discussed how important it is for them to understand their careers. Professional wrestling entails a hectic schedule, traveling, and the need to perform in front of a large audience. Having a partner that understands these things has made it possible for them to help each other both professionally and personally.
Jordan has said many times in the past how Hayes makes her believe in herself by making her better whenever she does not believe in herself. Their wedding ceremony in Miami will be the culmination of the relationship they entered into in 2023 and got engaged in 2025.
