Alright, so the question about Dakota Kai popped into my head the other day. Maybe saw it floatin’ around online, I dunno. Anyway, I got curious, figured I’d do a little digging myself, see what’s what.

First thing I did, naturally, was hop onto my usual search engine. Typed in the obvious stuff: “Dakota Kai gay,” “Dakota Kai partner,” “Dakota Kai sexuality.” You know the drill. Just wanted to see the landscape.
Man, the results were a mixed bag. Tons of fan forum discussions, wrestling gossip sites, you name it. Lots of people asking the same question, loads of speculation flying around. Some threads were years old, people really digging into every picture or comment.
So, I tried to sift through the noise. My goal was to find something concrete. Did she ever say anything in an interview? Any official statement? Anything from a source that wasn’t just some random username on a forum?
Went through a bunch of articles from wrestling news sites. Watched a couple of interview clips I could find. Found plenty about her career, her injuries, her time in NXT and WWE. Good stuff, but not what I was looking for right then.
Then I thought about social media. Sometimes you find clues there, right? Gave her Twitter and Instagram a quick look-over. Not like deep-diving stalker stuff, just a casual scroll. Saw lots of wrestling pics, posts about games, usual stuff. People in comments sections were definitely speculating, but nothing direct from her addressing it.
What I Found (or Didn’t)
Okay, here’s what I gathered after poking around:
- There was a lot of talk about her close friendship with Tegan Nox (Nixon Newell). Pictures, posts together. Fans ran wild with that for a long time. But I saw stuff where they both pretty much said they were just really good friends, like sisters.
- Then, more recently, saw pictures and mentions of her and Shayna Baszler hanging out, which got the speculation machine going again.
- But the main thing? I couldn’t find any instance of Dakota Kai herself publicly stating her sexuality. No interviews, no posts, no official announcements saying “yes” or “no”.
So, after spending a bit of time searching, reading forums, checking articles, I basically came up empty on a definitive answer straight from the source. It seems like it’s just not something she’s publicly discussed.
Bottom line, based on my look around, there’s no public confirmation. It’s all just fan talk and speculation. And honestly, that’s her business, right? People can talk all they want, but unless she puts it out there herself, everything else is just guesswork. That was my process, that’s what I found. Moving on.
