About Natalie Eva Marie
It may have been Natalie Eva Marie’s bright crimson locks that first drew the WWE Universe to her attention, but this “Total Divas” star has even more fire to her than meets the eye. Growing up in Northern California, the Latina former model traded in the runway for the wrestling ring- and was most recently drafted by WWE’s Smackdown LIVE, whose roster also features renowned cross-over wrestler/actor John Cena. Her journey through the ranks of the WWE Divas division was first chronicled on the hit E! reality series, “Total Divas” (Season 6 premieres Fall 2016). There, she navigated personal and professional obstacles to become the premiere “heel” of the women’s division in the WWE, stealing the spotlight and becoming a fan favorite to millions of people. Although known for her fiery personality on “Total Divas,” it is Natalie Eva Marie’s ability to turn this act off and let her real, “girl-next-door” personality shine through that makes her a great business woman and beauty and fitness expert. In 2015, Natalie created her own hair extension line, “TestaRossa” by partnering with BELLAMI, and is always giving beauty and health tips to her over 5 million followers via her social media pages. Natalie has also begun a career in acting and has appeared in various television shows such as “Entourage”, “CSI: New York”, “America’s Got Talent” and “90210.” When Natalie Eva Marie isn’t in the ring or working on new business ventures, she is giving back and inspiring a new generation of young women. She is a strong advocate for female empowerment and anti-bullying, often lending her voice to shine a spotlight on those deserving and in need. Having a father that was in the military, supporting Troops is also one of her biggest priorities and she has traveled to Afghanistan, Dubai, and Washington, DC to meet with US military and their families. In November 2015, she accepted the “Corporate Leadership Award” at the Soldier Strong Annual Awards on behalf of WWE and gave a moving speech about her father and the impact the military has had on her life and the lives of all Americans. She has also worked with the Special Olympics and raises breast cancer awareness with Susan G. Komen.
