Lexis King has reached a major milestone away from the NXT ring after proposing to former WWE talent Carolina Cruz.
King shared footage of the proposal on his Instagram Story, beginning with him grabbing a microphone and unexpectedly calling Cruz his “wife.” The comment immediately caught her attention before King revealed what he actually had planned.
King then dropped to one knee, pulled out a ring, and asked Cruz to marry him. Cruz appeared completely surprised before enthusiastically saying yes and embracing King as those around them celebrated.
The engagement marks the next chapter for a couple that has regularly shared parts of their relationship with fans online. King and Cruz have posted glimpses of their life together over time, proposing another personal moment they chose to share publicly.
Cruz previously signed with WWE in 2022 and spent time within the company’s developmental system. She was released in 2023 without making a televised in-ring debut, while King has since become a regular member of the NXT roster.
Wedding plans can come later, but King accomplished exactly what he hoped for by surprising Cruz and leaving the moment with a fiancée.
