Eva Marie has officially closed the book on her decade-long marriage to Jonathan Coyle. The WWE alum finalized her divorce in August 2025, roughly a year after filing in December 2024, and she’s opening up about what went wrong in a new interview with Page Six. Her explanation isn’t a scandal or a betrayal. It’s something a lot of people quietly relate to: the relationship worked on paper, but it stopped feeling like a marriage.
“We just had a very transactional business relationship,”Marie said.“We got along, we were totally best of buddies, but that’s not really what a marriage is.”She credits her sobriety journey, her shift into recovery advocacy, and turning 40 for the clarity that pushed her to leave. And she’s keeping things cordial, if distant:“I wish him well, over there. There’s no real bad blood in me, but it’s not like we’re best friends or I’m calling him up.”
The reinvention doesn’t stop there. Marie is launching a new business venture on the Passes platform and auctioning her SummerSlam 2021 outfit to help fund treatment for others. From the ring to recovery work to a fresh start, this chapter looks nothing like the last one. Have you ever had to walk away from something that looked fine on the outside but felt off on the inside?
