The Miz shared an emotional message on Instagram honoring their union, highlighting their continued bond and dedication amid their busy WWE careers.
Married in the Bahamas in 2014, the couple has since grown their family with two daughters, born in 2018 and 2019. Their partnership extends beyond personal life, often appearing together in WWE storylines, including a memorable mixed tag team match against John Cena and Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33. Fans and fellow wrestlers alike have offered congratulations to the pair on their enduring relationship.
Accompanying an iconic wedding photo, The Miz expressed his love and admiration for Maryse in a heartfelt note:
“Happy 12 year anniversary to my beautiful, gorgeous, sexy wife. You are the most driven person I know, and that drive pushes me to be better, work harder, and become the man I’m proud to be. You inspire me every single day not just with your strength and ambition, but with your heart. I’m grateful for every moment we’ve shared, every challenge we’ve overcome, and every dream we’re still chasing together. I love you more today than I did yesterday, and somehow I know I’ll love you even more tomorrow.”
The Miz Acknowledges John Bradshaw Layfield’s Support in His Career
Recently, during an appearance on The Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast, The Miz reflected on the influence of WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) in his professional growth. Despite some criticisms directed at JBL, The Miz shared a perspective that highlighted the positive mentorship he received early on.
He revealed how JBL, often perceived negatively by fans and peers, played an encouraging role behind the scenes, motivating him to keep improving.
“You know what’s weird? JBL gets a lot of flak for, like, bullying and, like, ‘He was an a**hole or whatever.’ He gets a lot of that, but it wasn’t really him. He was the person who would take me aside and go, ‘Hey kid, you’re doing a good job. Keep doing this, and this, and this. But keep it up!” Miz said.
Like JBL, The Miz has become one of the most seasoned and influential figures in WWE today, respected for his experience and dedication in the locker room.
