WWE Maria- her personal life

Kanellis has two younger siblings; a sister, Janny and a brother, Billy.

She dated fellow wrestler CM Punk (Phil Brooks), which she confirmed after pictures of the two kissing surfaced on the Internet.
They met during their tenures in Ohio Valley Wrestling. The two broke up in June 2007.


Maria had been asked to follow in the footsteps of other WWE Divas and pose for Playboy, but she initially refused because she did not wish
to embarrass her sister, who was still in high school at the time. After refusing the offer to pose a few times, she eventually posed for
the cover of the April 2008 issue, with an accompanying nude pictorial. For the pictorial, Maria chose her own wardrobe and made the black hooded
jacket she wore in one of the photos. She also designs her own clothes.

On November 5, 2007, she appeared on an episode of Family Feud with several other WWE superstars. She also appeared on the February 6, 2008 episode of
Project Runway with some of the other WWE Divas. On August 17, Maria, Candice Michelle (Candice Beckman), and Eve Torres were on an episode of Sunset Tan.
