Diamante discusses the process of revealing her relationship with Kiera Hogan to the world.
In the summer of 2019, Diamante and Kiera Hogan revealed their relationship to the fans of the world of wrestling. In 2021, Hogan joined Diamante as a talent in All Elite Wrestling after leaving IMPACT Wrestling.
Before her relationship with Hogan was revealed to the world, Diamante was private about her sexuality and her personal life in general.
In a new interview with the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Diamante talked about how Hogan gave her a lot of confidence to put their relationship into the public and how it's a relief to be herself around friends and co-workers.
“I’m not gonna lie, it was all very new for me because I’m used to keeping everything on the inside, I don’t let my personal life out there. I’m very private and reserved. Before Kiera, I was never comfortable with my sexuality because you know, it’s wrestling… I don’t want to weird people out, I don’t know how everybody’s gonna feel, but that’s just me living in my own head, you know what I’m saying? Kiera actually gave me a lot of confidence, I think we gave each other that confidence that we didn’t have to be out and just be ourselves with our relationship. It was very very different for me because like I said, I was used to just keeping to myself. Getting with her and seeing how happy I was, [it] didn’t deserve to be hidden or kept behind closed doors. This deserves for people to see it and maybe be inspired. It was crazy because she announced it online and it kind of broke the internet, there was like news articles about it and i was like ‘Woah okay, this is impactful, this is probably gonna make change, negative or positive it’s gonna make a change’ and it’s just cool to be [part of the change]. It’s really, really cool. It’s a relief to be honest with you, it feels nice to just be supported and to be myself and ourselves around our friends and coworkers. It was life changing, for sure.”
Diamante last wrestled for AEW at the company's March 24 Dark tapings in Orlando. Hogan last competed for the promotion on the April 22 episode of Rampage, which was taped on April 19.
In an interview that was conducted in late 2022, Hogan talked about splitting away from The Baddies in AEW. Click here to learn more.
