While Amy Schumer being in a relationship with a WWE Superstar might not be unusual, the reason behind their breakup raised a few eyebrows.
Several former and current WWE Superstars have had relationships with celebrities over the years. Stacy Keibler, for example, had a romantic relationship with Hollywood megastar George Clooney before marrying her current husband, Jared Pobre.
Amy Schumer discussed her experience dating Ziggler in a 2013 interview with Conan O’Brien on CONAN on TBS. She revealed that when she dated Ziggler, she wasn’t familiar with the wrestling world, saying:
“When we dated and like I couldn’t remember the names of the wrestlers, I’d be like did you beat Stillborn, like just guessing the names. I don’t know, it wasn’t my world.”
It Was Bad, It Was Bad” – Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer then explained why her relationship with the former World Heavyweight Champion ended, saying:
“We were just very different sexually. Like, he was very active in bed, you know, and like moving around, and my style, I like laying there. He’s in such a good shape, when you’re naked with someone you want to be the one bringing the thunder, you know. I wanna be able to whisper things like ‘you’re welcome’ or like ‘you owe me for this’ . . . I’m used to dating kind of chubby-ish comics, when they take their shirt off you’re like, ‘how are you not a woman?’ Like that kind of a guy. I was out of my wheelhouse with this guy. It was bad. It was bad.”
Ziggler has also previously commented on the breakdown of his relationship with Schumer during an appearance on Sam Roberts’ Wrestling Podcast, backing up comments she had made on The Howard Stern Show that the reason for their breakup was that the sex was “too athletic” for her.
Ziggler also noted that while the two remain friends and he still finds Schumer “very funny”, he was not happy with the way their relationship ended, especially as some of his family members heard the Howard Stern interview, which was a cause of embarrassment for him.
