Ryan Cabrera, who is currently married to the two-time SmackDown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss, recently showed his support for his ex-girlfriend, singer Ashlee Simpson, after she announced more dates for her Las Vegas residency. Alexa Bliss, who is a known two-time Women's Triple Crown Champion, married Cabrera in 2022 after being in a relationship with him for three years.

Ryan Cabrera, who is currently celebrating the twentieth anniversary of his debut single On the Way Down, which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, opened up about his ex-girlfriend, with whom he has continued to maintain a good relationship even years after their breakup. In his interview with US Weekly, Cabrera spoke about Ashlee's Las Vegas residency and said:

"Everybody’s excited for that. I mean, all of my friends are hitting me up going, ‘Hey, I was gonna go to Vegas. Do you think we can go see Ashlee?’ I’m like, ‘Dude, I would love to see that show.’ Even my wife. I think she was an influence for a lot of female artists who are new today and looked up to her when they were younger. I bet she’ll do some collabs at some point in the new year. They’re going to be fire. I wish nothing but the best for everybody over there"

According to US Weekly, Ryan Cabrera and Ashlee Simpson started dating in 2004. The former couple were together for a year before splitting up sometime in 2005.

In her 2020 appearance on the Nikki & Brie Show, hosted by the WWE champions Nikki and Brie Garcia, Alexa Bliss recalled how she and Ryan Cabrera met. She said:

"It’s funny how we met. We met because of a rumor that we were dating. He was liking some of my tweets and a fan saw that and started a whole Instagram that we were dating and tagged everyone in the company. I had people calling me and texting me and coming up to me saying, 'Oh, you’re dating Ryan.' I said, ‘I never met the guy."

Two years after their engagement, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony attended by their closest friends and family at Kempa Villa in California.

According to The New York Post, Bliss is also a Division I cheerleader and bodybuilder who also appeared on the reality TV show Total Divas. In a 2017 interview with the outlet, Bliss reflected on her career trajectory and said:

"I had watched wrestling grow up. I found it amazing. I loved watching wrestling. I was so focused into sports and everything growing up, after college one of my trainers was telling me that WWE was having a tryout. When I found that out I said, ‘My gosh I have to tryout.’ I knew it was an opportunity that I didn’t want to pass up. I remember sending in a video, thinking probably nothing will come of it, but I still had high hopes. I got a call, got a tryout and I’ve been wrestling for the last four years."
