Bianca Belair explains why Montez Ford is the ying to her yang.
During a recent interview with Brad Gilmore for CW39 Houston, former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair opened up about how she and her husband Montez Ford balance chasing their own careers while supporting each other.
“One hundred percent, I’m fortunate to do what I love with the person that I love, and he’s someone that I can lean on and he’s very great at making me rest,” Belair said. “He always jokes with me, ‘You love being tired,’ because I find my value out of being productive and he was one that would push me. He was the one a lot of times that would tell me to pull back. ‘I understand you want to give it your all, I understand that you’re a perfectionist, but you’re overthinking it. Just let it be and you need to rest.’
“I need that because I put enough pressure on myself, I push myself enough. My husband is my ying to my yang, he balances me out. But on the road, he drove every single live event, even the four-hour, five-hour drives til three o’clock in the morning. He never let me drive. He let me get as much rest as I needed.”
Double duty for both
Belair added, “But at the same time, it’s hard to navigate because my husband, he’s a WWE superstar too. So while he’s trying to support me, he has to worry about his career. And while I’m so worried about my career, I can’t forget to support my husband. So it was just like double duty for both of us. We were both just equally exhausted.”
Belair and Ford will be featured on a new reality series titled Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez. The series will begin streaming on Hulu in February.
