Aksana Married Goldust

Dustin's father is "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. His real life half brother is Cody Rhodes who also wrestles for WWE on its Smackdown brand. He has a sister named Kristin Runnels Ditto, who is a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

In 1993, Rhodes married Terri Runnels, whom he met while they were both working for WCW. They have a daughter, Dakota, who was born in 1994. Dustin's strained relationship with his father caused problems in their marriage, and Terri alleges that Dusty spread rumors about her that included infidelity and "gold-digging." The couple divorced in 1999 after six years of marriage. Years after the divorce, they were able to have a "better relationship" for the sake of their daughter.

Dustin married his second wife, Milena, on December 18, 2002. They had been dating for 18 months prior to the marriage. On December 14, 2010, WWE released Rhodes' autobiography titled, "Cross Rhodes: Goldust, Out of the Darkness". Dustin announced via Twitter that there will be a sequel to the book. On December 2, 2010, Goldust announced over Twitter his first acting role in the horror movie The Fire Witch.

 

During the season 2 finale of NXT on August 31, 2010, it was announced that Goldust will take part in NXT's third season as a Pro with Aksana as his Rookie. On the October 12 episode of NXT Goldust proposed to Aksana, who was facing deportation from the country, so she could stay in America.

In late September, a mysterious stalker was sending messages to Maryse and Ted DiBiase, but it was unsure who they were aimed at. On the October 4 episode of Raw, Goldust was revealed as the mystery stalker, but the messages were not directed to Maryse, but at DiBiase's Million Dollar Championship, which he then took. On the October 18 episode of Raw, DiBiase tried to reclaim his Million Dollar Championship after Goldust's match with Zack Ryder by attacking him, but he was unsuccessful in retrieving his belt. At Bragging Rights, DiBiase defeated Goldust, but Goldust still left with the title after Aksana distracted DiBiase long enough for Goldust to hit his finisher on him.

Goldust and Aksana were married on the November 2 episode of NXT with father Dusty Rhodes and real-life half-brother "Dashing" Cody Rhodes in attendance. Immediately afterwards Aksana slapped Goldust and walked out on him.

The following Monday on Raw Aksana stole the Million Dollar Championship belt during Goldust's match with Ted DiBiase. The following week on Raw Goldust managed to steal the Million Dollar Championship belt back from Aksana and then returned it to Ted DiBiase, Sr. and, on NXT he asked Aksana for a divorce after she was eliminated.
