The former WWE star says couples therapy has helped strengthen her relationship with Corey Graves.
Summary
– Carmella denied claims that her marriage to Corey Graves is in trouble
– The couple has attended therapy for years to maintain a healthy relationship
– Carmella criticized the wrestling community for taking her comments out of context
Carmella has pushed back against claims that she and Corey Graves recently entered marriage counseling because of problems in their relationship.
The former WWE star responded on September 8 after a wrestling account framed the couple’s use of therapy as a new development connected to marital issues.
Carmella said she and Graves have attended couples therapy for years. According to her, the decision does not mean anything is wrong with their marriage.
She compared therapy to continuing to exercise after getting into shape. Carmella’s point was that couples do not need to wait for a crisis to work on maintaining a healthy relationship.
Carmella also expressed frustration with the Internet Wrestling Community for removing her comments from their original context.
She explained that she tries to speak openly about her personal experiences because those conversations can help other women facing similar situations.
Turning those comments into dramatic headlines makes it more difficult for her to remain candid. Carmella ended her response by telling the wrestling community to grow up.
Her statement was not an announcement that her marriage is in trouble. It was a correction explaining that therapy has been a longstanding and positive part of her relationship with Graves.
Carmella and Graves have also discussed relationship challenges publicly through their Bare With Us podcast. The couple has previously said that being open about communication and everyday problems helps other people recognize that those experiences are normal.
