Charlotte on Andrade Engagement Rumors

Rumors have arisen that Charlotte and Andrade are moving quickly in their relationship, with some believing they were engaged. Charlotte gave a statement on the matter to ProWrestlingSheet on the matter:

“Don’t believe everything you read online. Unless you read that I’m the most decorated women’s wrestler ever, because that is fact. 😀 No, we are not currently engaged.”

The couple has recently been reunited with Andrade moving back to SmackDown Live.
