One of the most famous women to ever step foot inside WWE, Sable took the promotion by storm as one of the lovely ladies of the Attitude Era. Remembered by fans for her overtly sexual gimmick and iconic looks, Sable was a fierce and fiery member of the WWE roster during her time within the company. While many fans remember her for her on-screen pairing with Marc Mero, and her storylines with Torrie Wilson and Vince McMahon, as well as for her infamous Playboy shoots, some fans may not realize that Sable is actually married to current WWE Superstar, Brock Lesnar. With their relationship beginning in the mid 2000s, it was a rocky start, though the two remain together to this day.

Brock Lesnar And Sable's Relationship Began As An Affair While Sable Was Married To Marc Mero
Debuting in WWE in 1996, Sable initially served as the valet for Hunter Hearst Helmsley during his WrestleMania match against The Ultimate Warrior. This would eventually lead to Marc Mero, her real-life husband at the time, debuting as the two would be paired together on-screen. Following an injury to Mero, Sable continued to grow in popularity thanks to her looks, with a storyline seeing Mero getting jealous at her expense taking place upon his return to action. This included Sable stripping in order to get reactions from the crowd, while Mero would be furious and try to cover her up. The two eventually split on-screen, though it would also serve as a sign of things to come.
Sable left the company a few years later, suing the company for sexual harassment before returning in 2003. By 2004, however, while still married to Marc Mero, Sable begin an affair with the upstart Brock Lesnar. Mero and Sable would get divorced, with Mero stating during an interview with Steve Austin years later that he had forgiven her and wished she and Lesnar the best with their family.
