Samantha Speno gained fame as the first wife of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) celebrity Randy Orton. The pair's marriage did not prosper, and they eventually parted ways ten years ago.

Now, she has found success in two professional fields while balancing the responsibilities of parenthood and raising her daughter, who is the product of her past union with the renowned wrestler.

Samantha Supports Her Daughter's Interest In Sports

Samantha is a proud mother to Alanna Marie, born in 2008, with her father being WWE star Randy Orton. Randy's former wife views Alanna as her mini version and calls the young lady her "best friend forever."

She frequently posts glimpses of her daughter's milestones on social media. For instance, she posted about Alanna's first day in sixth grade in 2019 and, more recently, her recent homecoming event as a sophomore.

She does not just document her daughter's growth; she also captures moments from her sports events. Alanna is now part of the St. Louis Crossfire Elite Volleyball Club, where she proudly wears jersey number 19.

"What an amazing experience for her to play in this atmosphere with so many talented players across the country. I had no idea Alanna would love this sport, but WOW it is so much fun to watch!"

Samantha's ex-husband also praised Alanna in a lengthy Instagram message, calling her "a beast on the court." The pro-wrestler remarked on her athleticism and described her as "long and lean" like him.

After six years of marriage, Samantha filed for divorce, citing their union as "irretrievably broken."

Beyond his daughter's skills on the court, he highlighted her remarkable qualities, such as her thoughtfulness, caring nature, and impressive academic performance.

Samantha's Relationship Status Has Changed

According to her Facebook profile, Samantha posted in 2016 that she was engaged without revealing the name of her new partner. Before this, she married Randy in 2007.

Their union brought her into the spotlight, appearing in WWE's "Raw" series and in the 2011 documentary "Randy Orton: The Evolution of a Predator," along with other wrestlers Dave Bautista, Kurt Angle, John Cena, and The Undertaker.

After six years of marriage, Samantha filed for divorce, citing their union as "irretrievably broken." In 2013, their divorce was finalized, with Samantha granted sole legal and physical custody of their child while he obtained visitation rights.

It's unknown whether they are on good terms, as Samantha never shared anything about him on Facebook or Instagram. However, Randy maintains a loving connection with Alanna even if he has a family of his own.

He has been married to his second wife, Kim Kessler, since 2015 and became parents to Alanna's half-sister, Brooklyn Rose, born in 2016. This blended family also includes Kim's three sons from her previous relationship: Michael, Robbie, and Anthony.
