Gail Kim isnt just reflecting on her career these days shes also opening up about whats kept her grounded for more than a decade and a half.
During a recent appearance on the Krazy Train podcast with Jasmin St. Claire, the former TNA Knockouts Champion spoke honestly about relationships, balance, and why she believes dating outside the wrestling industry can make or break long-term happiness.
The topic came up as the two discussed how difficult it can be to date when your life revolves around wrestling. Gail acknowledged that her husband still doesnt fully understand the business and that might actually be the point.
She explained that dating someone outside the wrestling bubble helped her maintain a sense of normal life away from the chaos of the industry.
Gail said her relationship works because her husband offers a grounded perspective that isnt tied to locker room politics, travel drama, or the constant grind.
She also pointed out that while she understands why wrestlers often date other wrestlers, it can create an unhealthy loop where wrestling never truly turns off.
Rather than presenting it as a rule, Gail framed her comments as experience-earned advice. Shes lived the wrestling lifestyle, seen how consuming it can become, and found stability in a relationship that exists outside that world. For someone who spent years traveling nonstop and immersed in the industry, that balance clearly mattered.
Gail Kims perspective cuts through the glamorized version of wrestling relationships and speaks to a real issue many performers quietly deal with. In a business that often demands everything, she found longevity by keeping something separate and its clear that choice played a role in protecting both her personal life and her mental health.
