Kelly Kelly: A Brief Biography
Kelly Kelly, originally Barbara Jean Blank, entered the world on January 15, 1987, in Jacksonville, Florida USA. She is renowned for her involvement as a model and former professional wrestler, particularly in the WWE, which significantly contributed to her substantial net worth. Her career trajectory commenced in 2006 and concluded in 2012.
Curious about Kelly Kelly’s financial status circa mid-2016? Reports suggest that her net worth stands around $1 million, a testament to her successful endeavor in professional wrestling. Additionally, her modeling stints further bolstered her wealth.
Barbara Jean Blank’s fascination with professional wrestling developed at a young age, inspired by Stone Cold Steve Austin, her favorite wrestler. In her formative years, she underwent a decade-long training in gymnastics until an injury prompted her to cease. Subsequently, she pursued cheerleading and aspired to pursue broadcast journalism to become an anchor. Her modeling career included associations with respected brands such as Hawaiian Tropic and Venus Swimwear.
Despite lacking prior wrestling experience, in 2006, WWE official John Laurinaitis recognized the untapped potential in Kelly. Following his proposal, she signed a wrestling contract and commenced her journey as a ring announcer, a referee, and later, as a wrestler. Notably, she holds the distinction of being the youngest Diva to compete in WWE, kickstarting her stint with a crowd-facing striptease accompanied by her on-screen partner, Mike Knox.
Transitioning to the Raw brand in 2008 prompted a feud with former champion Beth Phoenix and several in-ring showdowns during the season. Kelly’s crowning achievement came in 2011 when she secured her inaugural WWE Divas Championship by defeating Brie Bella. This momentous victory substantially augmented her net worth. Unfortunately, a neck injury in 2012 prompted Kelly to relinquish her contract and shift her focus to modeling.
Kelly’s modeling repertoire includes appearances in illustrious publications like FHM Online, in addition to noteworthy stints with brands such as Venus Swimwear and Hawaiian Tropic, all contributing to her financial success.
More recently, Kelly has been featured in the reality show “WAGS” (2015-) on E! TV, alongside other sports figures’ spouses.
Delving into her personal life, Kelly Kelly was in a relationship with wrestler Andrew Martin for two and a half years until his passing in March 2009. In 2014, she became engaged to former professional hockey player Sheldon Souray, and the couple tied the knot in Malibu, California, in February 2016.
