Stephanie Vaquer and NXT star Myles Borne are one of wrestling’s most talked-about couples. Both are rising stars in WWE, and their story shows how two very different challenges can be overcome by trust and patience.
Vaquer’s rise and learning English
Stephanie Vaquer was born in Chile and first made her name in CMLL. After a short run in AEW, she became a hit in NXT and moved to WWE’s main roster. She is now a top woman on Raw and a Women’s World Champion who will defend her title at WrestleMania.
English is not Vaquer’s first language. She has said learning English has been hard but she works on it every day. In interviews she admits her English is not perfect yet, but she tries to be brave and keep improving. Her progress has helped her with promos and with life in the United States.
Borne’s health and hearing challenges
Myles Borne is a former NXT North American Champion. He was born with a condition called Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn. That condition affected his hearing. Borne cannot hear about 90% of the world around him. He uses hearing aids and has learned to read lips to help him communicate.
Borne has used his own challenges as part of his story in NXT. He speaks openly about living with a hearing impairment and how it shapes his work and life.
Their relationship and how they communicate
The two met while working for WWE. Borne has told a sweet story about being shy at first. He said he would pass by Vaquer backstage without talking. Eventually she sent him a message asking to have dinner. That pushed him to talk to her and their relationship grew from there.
People often ask how they communicate when Vaquer is learning English and Borne is hearing impaired. Both say they never had trouble talking. Vaquer has picked up English quickly and can now hold long conversations. Borne says he still works on some speech issues, but he is impressed by how fast Vaquer has learned.
The couple uses a mix of speech, lip reading, hearing aids, and patience. They both point to respect and effort as the keys to their success. Each has their own struggle, but together they find ways to understand each other.
Past relationships and background
Both have had difficult past relationships. In 2023 Borne married his girlfriend Jadyn. Reports say they are now separated and still legally married. Vaquer had a troubling situation in 2023 while in Mexico. She accused a former partner of domestic violence. That man, another wrestler, was arrested and faced legal trouble in Mexico.
Despite those hard moments, both Vaquer and Borne are building new chapters. Vaquer continues to climb on the main roster, and Borne remains an important figure in NXT. Fans hope the couple will get chances to work together on TV as their careers grow.
