Adam Cole has confirmed his break up with Britt Baker.
The two AEW stars had been together for 8 years. They started dating back in 2017 before the inception of the company. Their relationship status had been subject of much speculation in recent months.
During a recent interview with The Takedown, Cole confirmed that he and Baker are no longer romantically involved but they remain good friends:
“We are no longer a couple, but when I say that we both still love each other and are still friends and still so supportive of each other, that could not be more true.”
Adam Cole also addressed the online discourse around their relationship. He encouraged people not to pick sides and know that they still care for each other:
“I don’t want anyone to ever think that me and Britt dislike each other. I think it is possible, in situations, for people who are in relationships to kind of go their separate ways, but still care about one another. The last thing I would want is fans to pick sides or anything like that.”
The former NXT Champion stressed that he wants Britt Baker to be as happy and successful as humanly possible. He noted that Baker will remain an important part of his life and there is absolutely no ill will between them.
The Undisputed Kingdom leader returned to AEW during the WrestleDream PPV on October 12. In a promo at the following Dynamite episode, Adam Cole turned face and confirmed that his rivalry with MJF was not over.
