Zelina Vega and Aleister Black have been married since 2018 and their relationship began during their time in NXT, which was under Triple H at the time. In fact, it appears The Game believed Vega was dating Andrade instead of Aleister Black.

While speaking to SHAK Wrestling, Zelina Vega talked about the time she told Triple H that she was marrying Aleister Black. Triple H was surprised and asked, “Wait, aren’t you with Andrade?” because of their storyline together on TV.

Vega said that maybe Triple H thought all wrestling storylines turn into real relationships, like what happened with him and Stephanie McMahon. She also mentioned that in some cases, like Rusev and Lana, that actually did happen.

Zelina explained that people believed she and Andrade were a real couple because they had great chemistry on screen. But in real life, Andrade felt more like a brother to her. She laughed that even Triple H believed they were really together. She said it just showed how well she and Aleister kept their real relationship private. They didn’t talk about it much and tried to keep things quiet.

“I mean, to be fair, they kind of have if you look at like Rusev and Lana, you know? So like, I think it’s just—it’s like the natural progression. Plus, I mean, a lot of people just thought that we were like that, and I think we just had this chemistry that worked. But behind the scenes, he was—he’s like a brother to me. So, it was even funnier because I’m like, ‘Wow, even you thought that? That’s funny.’ You know, us—like personally, personally—but yeah, that’s cool. It just kind of showed how much me and Aleister kind of kept everything under the radar. We kept everything, um, I guess as down-low as possible.”

Aleister Black returned to WWE last month, and it was after Zelina Vega defeated Chelsea Green to become the new Women’s United States Champion, so it was just an incredibly special moment for her. Regardless, Triple H wasn’t the only one who really thought Vega and Andrade were a couple and it’ll always remain a funny story for Vega to share for the rest of her life.
