LA Knight, one of the most over talents in WWE right now, made a significant impression in his debut at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day on February 14th, 2021. Since then, he has continued to organically get over with fans, despite the company’s attempts to derail him in the past. Knight has been in a relationship with his long-time girlfriend Michelle Yavulla since 2018, and his partner recently wished him a happy 5th anniversary on social media. However, rumors had been circulating on Twitter that Knight had tied the knot with Yavulla, which he recently addressed at an event in Hagerstown, where he was honored with the key to the city.
Speaking at the event, Knight emphasized that Yavulla is still his girlfriend and they are not married. He shared a heartfelt message about his hometown, stating that Hagerstown has always been his home and he returns every year to visit. He also humorously joked about introducing Yavulla as his girlfriend, saying “she is my girlfriend, by the way, I know everybody thinks I got married last week, but I didn’t.” The rumors about Knight’s marriage likely stemmed from his endearing interactions with fans and his strong social media presence, which often features intimate moments with Yavulla.
