Barbara Blank-Souray, widely known by her ring name Kelly Kelly, was born on January 15, 1987, in Jacksonville, Florida. Though entering the world of professional wrestling is less common for women, Kelly Kelly broke barriers and became one of WWE’s most recognized female wrestlers. Before wrestling, she was a high school cheerleader and gymnast. Her background in athletics and modeling eventually led to her recruitment by WWE, where she became a fan favorite.
Kelly Kelly initially pursued a degree in broadcast journalism, aspiring to become a television anchor. While modeling, she caught the attention of WWE talent scouts and was signed in 2006 at the age of 19. She debuted under the ECW brand during WWE’s relaunch of the Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion. Initially featured in a non-wrestling role, she quickly transitioned into in-ring competition.
In 2008, Kelly Kelly moved to WWE’s RAW brand, continuing her wrestling career under the same moniker. Her popularity grew as she participated in various storylines and matches, earning her a reputation as one of the standout performers of the Divas division.
Raised in a Catholic school and born to a Jewish father and Christian mother, Kelly Kelly’s diverse background shaped her strong sense of identity. She often stood her ground in a competitive environment, going toe-to-toe with well-known WWE personalities like Natalya, Victoria, and Jillian Hall.
Her entrance theme, “Holla V3,” became emblematic of her persona. With empowering lyrics, it symbolized her confidence and determination—qualities that resonated with her fans and reinforced her image as an independent and fearless competitor.
Kelly Kelly was previously in a relationship with fellow wrestler Andrew Martin (known in WWE as Test) before his untimely passing in 2009. In 2016, she married Sheldon Souray, a former NHL ice hockey player. The couple currently resides in Malibu, California. They do not have children but have remained committed to their shared public life and careers.
