Blake Monroe: age, career profile and relationship confirmation

Blake Monroe confirmed she is in a relationship during an appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show in August 2026, and the English performer is a member of WWE’s SmackDown roster.

Born Mariah May Mead on August 4, 1998, in Tottenham, Greater London, England, Monroe is 28 years old and began her career on the UK independent scene as a ring announcer in 2018 before moving into in-ring competition in 2019. Known internationally and in AEW as Mariah May, she built her profile with appearances for Revolution Pro Wrestling and Japan’s World Wonder Ring Stardom, had a short stint in WWE’s developmental brand NXT, and joined WWE in June 2025 when she rebranded as "The Glamour."

WWE lists Monroe at 5 feet 8 inches, or 173 centimeters, and billed her weight at around 136 lbs (62 kg). That billed frame is credited in her profile as supporting a blend of high-flying offense, power moves and hard-hitting strikes that define her in-ring style.

There is no public record of Monroe displaying or discussing tattoos; the available match footage, photoshoots and her social media content show no visible body art. Her presentation in-ring and on camera leans toward a glamorous, pageant-inspired aesthetic described in source material as a deliberate homage to her ring persona’s namesake, the classic Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe.

Monroe maintained a largely private personal life early in her WWE tenure and was widely reported to be single before August 2026. On The Nikki & Brie Show she confirmed she is in a relationship but did not name her boyfriend; during the same conversation she said she had been approached twice to join the UK and US versions of Love Island — once around age 18-19 and again years later after relocating to America — and had turned both offers down because she had already found a partner before the second offer.

She has developed a growing fanbase through her in-ring work, her championship pedigree and the persona she presents on WWE programming. Those elements, combined with her international experience prior to signing with WWE, are cited in profiles that track her rise within the women’s division.

Monroe signed with WWE in June 2025 and performs on the SmackDown roster. She adopted the ring name "The Glamour" after joining the company in 2025.
