Thunder Rosa posted an official statement to Instagram that states that her marriage to her long-time partner, Brian Cervantes, is coming to an end after they have been married for 14 years. The statement reads:
“After 14 years together, Brian Cervantes and I have decided to go our separate ways in a friendly and respectful manner. Relationships sometimes change shape, but the care and respect remain.
I had the privilege of raising and adopting his son as my own, a gift I will always carry in my heart. I’m grateful for the support I received at the beginning of my career, and I kindly ask for respect and understanding during this time of transition.
Thank you for always standing by me.
Melissa Cervantes – Thunder Rosa”
The couple met prior to Rosa becoming a pro wrestler when she worked as a social worker. After she found success in Lucha Underground, her husband encouraged her to pursue wrestling full-time. Rosa adopted Brian’s son, Anakin, and the couple married on December 21, 2006.
