Kelly Kelly Net Worth

What is Kelly Kelly's net worth?

Kelly Kelly is an American model and professional wrestler who has a net worth of $2 million.

Kelly Kelly was one of the most recognizable female performers of WWE's late-2000s Divas era. She joined WWE as a teenager with a background in gymnastics, cheerleading, and modeling, and quickly became a fixture on the company's relaunched ECW brand. Although she began in a mostly non-wrestling role, Kelly Kelly gradually developed into an in-ring performer and became one of WWE's most popular babyfaces. Her career peak came in 2011 when she won the WWE Divas Championship, a title reign that cemented her place in the company's women's division during the period before WWE's later women's wrestling renaissance. After leaving full-time wrestling in 2012, she remained connected to WWE through periodic appearances, including Royal Rumble returns and anniversary specials. Outside wrestling, she has worked as a model, reality television personality, and actress, and has appeared on shows such as "WAGS."

Early Life

Barbara Jean Blank was born on January 15, 1987, in Jacksonville, Florida. She grew up with a strong athletic background and participated in gymnastics for many years before injuries forced her to stop. She later became involved in cheerleading, which helped build the performance skills and physical confidence that would later translate to sports entertainment.

Before entering wrestling, Blank worked as a model. She modeled for brands including Venus Swimwear and Hawaiian Tropic, and her modeling career eventually helped put her on WWE's radar. At the time, WWE was still heavily recruiting performers from modeling, fitness, and entertainment backgrounds for its women's division.

WWE Career

Blank signed with WWE in 2006 when she was still a teenager. She trained in Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory at the time, and was soon brought to the main roster as part of the relaunched ECW brand. She debuted under the ring name Kelly Kelly and was promoted as the youngest Diva on WWE's roster.

Her earliest WWE character was more focused on entertainment and presentation than wrestling. She appeared in dance and exhibition-style segments and was paired on-screen with wrestler Mike Knox. She later became part of Extreme Exposé alongside Layla and Brooke Adams, a dance trio that appeared regularly on ECW.

Over time, Kelly Kelly transitioned into more traditional wrestling storylines and matches. She moved from ECW to "Raw" and "SmackDown," where she became a consistent presence in the women's division. While her in-ring experience was limited at first, she improved through regular television work and house show matches. Her popularity with fans helped make her one of WWE's most visible female performers of the era.

Divas Championship

Kelly Kelly's biggest wrestling achievement came in June 2011, when she won the WWE Divas Championship. Her victory came after fans voted for her to challenge Brie Bella on an episode of "Raw." She won the match and captured the title for the first time in her career.

Her Divas Championship reign lasted more than three months and included a successful title defense against Beth Phoenix at "SummerSlam." The storyline placed Kelly Kelly in contrast with Phoenix and Natalya, who represented a more technically dominant style and were frustrated with the state of the women's division. That feud became one of the more prominent women's storylines of the period.

Kelly eventually lost the title to Beth Phoenix in October 2011. Although she never became champion again during her full-time WWE run, her championship reign remains the defining in-ring accomplishment of her wrestling career.

Departure and WWE Returns

Kelly Kelly left WWE in 2012 after six years with the company. She later said that she had started wrestling at a very young age and was burned out from the demanding travel schedule, injuries, and physical toll of the business.

After leaving full-time wrestling, she made occasional returns to WWE. She appeared at "Raw 25" in 2018, competed in the first women's Royal Rumble match, and appeared at WWE's all-women's pay-per-view event "Evolution." In 2019, she made history on a "Raw Reunion" episode by winning the WWE 24/7 Championship, becoming the first woman to hold that title.

Her sporadic returns helped maintain her connection to WWE fans, especially those who grew up watching the Divas era. She has also expressed interest in making occasional appearances that would allow her children to see her perform.

Modeling, Acting, and Television

Outside wrestling, Blank continued working in modeling and entertainment. She appeared in several WWE video games and participated in various promotional projects during her time with the company. After leaving WWE, she expanded her public profile beyond wrestling.

She was a cast member on the reality series "WAGS," which followed the lives of wives and girlfriends of professional athletes. The show gave viewers a look at her life outside WWE, including her relationships, friendships, and transition away from full-time wrestling. She also made appearances in film and television projects, including the 2020 action film "Disturbing the Peace."

Blank also built a social media and influencer presence, continuing to work with fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and fitness-related brands.

Personal Life

Blank previously dated wrestler Andrew Martin, known professionally as Test, before his death in 2009. She later married former NHL player Sheldon Souray in 2016. The marriage ended in divorce.

In 2021, she married bodybuilder Joe Coba. The couple welcomed twins, a son named Jaxon Matthew and a daughter named Brooklyn Marie, in 2023. Motherhood became a major part of her public life in the years that followed, and she has spoken about wanting her children to one day understand and see the wrestling career that made her famous.
