AEW stars Mercedes Mone and The Beast Mortos are officially an item.

Mone, the current TBS Champion in AEW, confirmed the news to TMZ after she posted a picture of the couple on Instagram along with a caption that spun the heads of wrestling fans around the world. The caption read "en tus brazos encuentro paz," which means, "In your arms I find peace."

Mone was divorced nearly a year ago and the report from TMZ did not confirm how long her and Mortos have been together. Mone is scheduled to wrestle for the CMLL Women's Championship at AEW Grand Slam Mexico from Arena Mexico in Mexcio City on Wednesday night.

Mone was previously married to Sarath Ton for eight years. After a few years of being separated, Mone announced that they had officially split up last year. Soon after, Mone made her AEW debut at a special event edition of Dynamite from Boston.

Since joining AEW, Mone has not been pinned and has held the TBS Championship for over a year. Mone won this year's Owen Hart Cup Tournament and now has a shot against Toni Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship at All In Texas.
