Today, I wanted to dive into a topic that’s been buzzing around a lot lately: Bobby Lashley’s wife. It’s a bit of a tangled web, so I thought I’d share my little journey of figuring it all out.
So, first off, I started like everyone else – I googled it. “Who is Bobby Lashley’s wife?” Simple, right? Well, not so much. The first thing I found was that Bobby Lashley isn’t actually married right now. But he was with this woman, Kristal Melisa Marshall, for quite a while, from around 2007 to 2010. They were even engaged, and they have two kids together, Myles and Naomi. Kristal, it turns out, was pretty clear on the whole “never married” thing in some interview I dug up. She’s like, “I’ve never been married, it’s always been Kristal Marshall.” Okay, fair enough.
Then, there’s this whole other storyline with someone named Lana, whose real name is Catherine Joy Perry Barnyashev. Now, Lana was married to Bobby Lashley, but only on TV, like, it was part of the wrestling storyline. In real life, she’s married to another wrestler who used to be called “Rusev” but now goes by “Miro” in AEW. Wrestling, man, it’s a whole world of its own!
As I kept digging, I stumbled upon this article about wrestlers who fell in love within their profession. It talked about Bianca Belair and Montez Ford, Brock Lesnar and Sable, CM Punk and AJ Lee, and a couple of others. It was kind of sweet, seeing how these people found love in such a unique world.
Back to Bobby and Kristal, though. I found out that Bobby’s full name is Franklin Roberto “Bobby” Lashley, and he was born on July 16, 1976. He’s not just a wrestler; he used to be a mixed martial artist too. Pretty impressive. And as of September 2024, he’s with All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
There was some confusion online, with some sites saying Bobby was married to Lana. Some said they got married on January 6, 2020, and others were talking about a wedding on a RAW episode that was supposed to happen on December 30, 2019. It was all a bit of a mess, to be honest.
- First, I searched for “Who is Bobby Lashley’s wife?”
- Found out he was in a long-term relationship with Kristal Marshall (2007-2010).
- Discovered he has two kids with Kristal: Myles and Naomi.
- Learned that Lana (Catherine Joy Perry Barnyashev) was his on-screen wife.
- Read about other wrestling couples who found love within their profession.
- Confirmed Bobby’s full name and that he’s also a former mixed martial artist.
- Got confused by conflicting information about a real-life wedding with Lana.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of Bobby Lashley’s love life. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, with real-life relationships and on-screen drama mixing together. But hey, that’s the world of wrestling for you! Hope you found this little deep dive as interesting as I did.
