WWE Hall of Famer planning on remarrying his wife 23 years after their divorce
WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts is planning on remarrying his wife 23 years after their divorce.
Roberts has four children with Cheryl Hagood after they tied the knot in 1984.
But by 2000 they finalised their divorce during a period the wrestler – real name Aurelian Smith Jr – battled alcohol and drug addiction.
Now sober, Roberts has rekindled with Cheryl and he plans to re-marry over two decades after their split.
He said on The Wrestling Perspective: “I’m trying to talk that woman into marrying me again. I think she’s gonna do it.
“I mean, that’s an amazing story. Twenty four years we were separated.
“Now we’re hooking back up and it’s just a great story and a great life.
“I got a second chance to smell the roses and I’m taking advantage of it. I really am.”
Cheryl helped with Roberts’ on-screen storylines during the height of his professional wrestling career.
The American was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014 and he is currently working for rivals All Elite Wrestling.

Roberts made appearances as an enforcer and was recently announced as a member of AEW’s community outreach program.
Former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page helped Roberts on his journey to sobriety – which helped him rekindle with Cheryl.
Page told The Ringer: “Today he’s back with his wife, Cheryl. Are you kidding me? That’s the coolest thing ever.
“They were at my party this year, and Jake doesn’t normally do parties because he doesn’t want to be around the alcohol and liquor.
“But now he’s cool. He’s good with it, and they’re great together.
“My wife, Paige, and Cheryl and Jake, we all went up to Boston to go to see Aerosmith, and we saw them at Fenway.
“Jake right now is living his best life.”
