Who Is Eva Marie ? Read More About Her

Natalie Marie Coyle was born in September 19, 1984, is an American actress, fashion designer, model, and professional wrestler. She is currently signed to WWE, where she performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Eva Marie.

In 2013, she signed a contract with WWE and was assigned to WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Florida to begin her training. In July 2013, she made her main roster debut under the ring name Eva Marie, becoming the manager of The Bella Twins later in the month and also began starring in the reality television series Total Divas as part of the main cast. In mid-2015, she began wrestling as part of the NXT women’s division. In April 2016, Eva Marie returned to the main roster officially becoming a part of the SmackDown brand in July 2016. She left WWE in August 2017. That same year, Eva Marie made her film debut in Inconceivable. The following years saw her taking on several other projects, which included appearances in multiple television shows and launching a fitness program, in addition to a fashion line, under her NEM brand. After signing a new contract with WWE, Eva Marie returned to the promotion in June 2021.

Natalie Eva Marie was born in the San Francisco Bay Area suburb of Walnut Creek, California, the youngest child of Barry and Josie Nelson. Her mother is Mexican, while her father is Italian. She has three older brothers (Nathan, Neal and Nick) and was raised in Concord, California. She wanted to become a professional soccer player, although her plans were put on hold when she suffered an ankle injury in her senior year of high school in 2002. Eva Marie, who played as a striker, recovered and continued playing at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California, where she received her associate degree in art.

She received Junior College All-American honors and transferred to Arizona State University, although a lack of self-confidence led her to stop playing. She transferred to California State University, Fullerton where the soccer coach persuaded her to play again. However, her National Collegiate Athletic Association eligibility had expired due to their “five-year clock” rule. Eva Marie later said that “I wouldn’t have run into that problem if I just believed in myself from the start. Now that I’m older, I know it’s so much better to have tried and maybe you fail, then to have never tried at all.” She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in business management and a minor in human resource and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in modeling, acting and promotional work.

Eva Marie appeared in a Fitness Blowout infomercial. In October, she was a part of the Marino Fitness Campaign and appeared in a Skechers commercial. She appeared on the Sports Illustrated website as the Lovely Lady of the Day in December 2012 and on several magazine covers including Rukus, Import Tuner Magazine, and Glam Fit Magazine. Eva Marie won the 2012 Powertech Model and several fashion competitions. She has modeled for Red Chapter Clothing. Eva Marie has appeared on the Spanish dating show 12 Corazones. She appeared in the September edition of Maxim magazine. In 2014, Marie ranked number 83 in Maxim’s Hot 100.

In 2015, Eva Marie partnered with Bellami Hair to launch her own line of hair extensions, called TestaRossa. In 2016, Eva Marie launched her own fashion line, NEM Fashion. In alignment with its “female empowerment and anti-bullying” missions, the brand gives back to women in need through her NEM Foundation. She then launched Never End Denim, a luxury and size inclusive denim brand in 2017.

Eva Marie has appeared in two WWE video games. She made her in-game debut in WWE 2K16 and last appeared in WWE 2K17. She was also featured in several other WWE related merchandise, and received her own Mattel doll, a Funko Pop collectible and three action figures. Eva Marie has traveled to Afghanistan, Dubai, and Washington, D.C. to meet with U.S. military and their families, and accepted the “Corporate Leadership Award” at the Soldier Strong Annual Awards on behalf of WWE in November 2015.

She supported the American Cancer Society in the exhibition. She returned in the following edition on behalf of A21. In 2018, she participated in the 50K Charity Challenge Celebrity Basketball Game presented by Monster Energy Outbreak at UCLA.

In September 2018, Eva Marie launched a podcast with her husband called The Natalie Eva Marie Show, with a rotating guest list on PodcastOne. She explained the idea came from having previously created a YouTube channel where she occasionally uploads lifestyle vlogs on various subjects, and needing a platform to discuss certain topics at more length. They launched a workout program NEM Fit on her website the following year.

In 2019, Eva Marie appeared as a cast member on the second season of the US version of Celebrity Big Brother. In April 2019, she was announced as the first ambassador for Monster Energy’s Reign brand and was featured in campaigns and hosted sponsored events throughout the year.
