It seems that love is in the air for at least one WWE Superstar as today it was confirmed that Sonya Deville is engaged. People first broke the news that Sonya popped the question to girlfriend Toni Cassano on Feb. 15 at a wine cellar cave in Towaco, NJ.
It was noted that Sonya Deville popped the question in front of friends and family and moments after she was presented with a ring from Cassano who had been carrying it in her purse.
“I proposed, then Toni’s like, ‘Grab my purse.’ And she pulls out a freaking ring box, and she’s like, ‘I’ve been carrying this around in my purse for four months. So whenever you proposed, I could give you a ring immediately back.'”
Cassano commented on the proposal when she added, “It truly was the biggest blur ever. All I remember is both of us shaking so bad.”
Sonya Deville, real name Daria Berenato, reflected on her journey in regard to coming out when she said, “It’s so cool to me to be in this position right now, to be engaged as a gay female in the WWE, and to have proposed to my fiancée. Because I look back at seven years ago, eight years ago when I wasn’t even openly out yet, and I was hiding relationships, and I was still trying to figure out my comfortability with being gay and who I was.”
Congratulations to the happy couple. Stay tuned for updates.
