While Brooke is shining on RAW, her personal life has also caught the headlines’ attention. She was spotted with stars like Dave Bautista and Enes Kanter and was rumored to be dating them at two different points.

Did Dana Brooke date Enes Kanter?

Brooke began dating Enes Kanter in 2018. He is an NBA star who currently plays for the Boston Celtics. The details about how their relationship started are unknown, but Kanter is a lifelong WWE fan. He is also friends with Paul Heyman. That could explain how the couple crossed paths.

Kanter even appeared in WWE back in 2019 at Madison Square Garden and won the 24/7 title. The NBA star said he plans to become a WWE wrestler after he is done with basketball.

The relationship between the two seemed to go well as Dana Brooke in Lilian Garcia’s podcast Chasing Glory talked about Kanter. She also mentioned how he helped her to recover from the loss of her ex-fiancee, Dallas McCarver.

She said he could sense her pain about her loss, and she never opened up to anyone until she met Kanter. So, yes, Dana Brooke and Enes Kanter dated.

Why did the couple break up?

In the same podcast interview, Brooke revealed Kanter helped her continue her wrestling career. She considered quitting after she lost to Ronda Rousey. However, Enes motivated her to push through, praying for her late boyfriend. The former gymnast called him the ‘living angel in front of me.’

Unfortunately, this romance ended in late December 2019. In a now-deleted tweet, Brooke wrote, “Let’s play a game. Can anyone tell me who is the GREATEST LIE AND NARCISSIST ?! I hate liars!!! Be honest, and life will be much easier !!!”

Fans made many guesses, and it all pointed to the obvious since Brooke had already made her relationship with Enes public.

The two were never seen or heard of together again after these tweets.
