Rena Marlette Greek, famously known as Sable, was born in Jacksonville, Florida, on August 08, 1968. She is a former wrestler, actress, and model. Sable has been married to an American-Canadian professional wrestler for almost 20 years.

Despite being in the spotlight, Brock and Sable have kept their personal life under wraps. Even so, there is still some general information about their marriage. Brock once revealed that he felt lucky to have a partner like Sable and couldn't imagine his life with someone else.

Sable Broke New Ground for the Ladies of the Ring

Brock Lesnar's wife was married twice before settling with her current husband. Her first marriage was to Wayne Richardson, from 1987 until his death in 1991. They share one child, Mariah Richardson, whom she welcomed when she was 19.

Sable's second marriage was to former WWE superstar Marc Mero. The two tied the knot in 1994 and stayed together for ten years before calling it quits in 2004.

Before Sable began her wrestling career, she worked as a model for Guess Jeans. Her wrestling debut was in 1996 when she accompanied Triple H to the ring at WrestleMania XII. Even though their alliance was short-lived, Sable captured the attention of WWE fans after she and Mero partnered.

As their relationship became more serious, Brock left WWE to focus on another career path.

But when Mero took a break from wrestling after suffering a knee injury in 1997, Sable remained in the spotlight, and her impressive performance made her more famous.

When Mero returned to the ring in 1998 from his injury, he became jealous of Sable and was not happy with her success; as a result, the pair drifted apart. Sable's star continued to rise after she won the Women's Championship in 1998, and she began appearing on the cover of magazines such as TV Guide.

In 2003 and 2004, Sable's popularity diminished after news rivals Torrie Wilson and Stephanie McMahon joined WWE. Sable's input in WWE greatly impacted women in wrestling, and her legacy as the pioneer who broke new ground for ladies remains.

Sable Is a Solid Rock in Brock Lesnar's Life

Sable and Brock tied the knot on May 06, 2006. The couple met while in WWE, and Brock considers their meeting one of his greatest blessings. In his biography, "Death Clutch," the 45-year-old said meeting Sable was the best thing that happened while he was in WWE.

Even though Sable and Brock have been married for almost 20 years, the pair have had their ups and downs. In Brock's book, he narrated how he and Sable once had a serious fight that almost led to a breakup.

To protect their relationship, Brock flew to Sable's home in Florida to apologize and make up. Even though it wasn't easy, Brock won Sable's heart back, and after their reconciliation, he proposed to her.

The pair welcomed their first child, their son Turk Lesnar on June 03, 2009. A year later, they welcomed their second child Duke Lesnar when Sable was 41 years old.

Brock and Sable have come from far with their relationship. In an interview, the wrestler revealed that he didn't think another woman would have lasted much longer with him, and he considers his wife his solid rock. He said:

Sable's Departures from WWE

Sable's first departure from WWE happened when she was married to Mero. According to Mero, Sable left the wrestling company after she sued them for sexual harassment.

She went on to pursue her acting career, but when she didn't get a breakthrough in Hollywood, she returned to WWE after apologizing to a few wrestlers like The Undertaker, Stone Cold, and others. It was during that time that she and Brock met and began dating.

As their relationship became more serious, Brock left WWE to focus on another career path. He also convinced Sable to quit working for WWE. Initially, she was reluctant, but with time, she willingly left the wrestling company to be with Brock and focus on their relationship.
