Lilian Garcia credits WWE star Xavier Woods for helping her find love again.
During a recent interview with TVInsider, veteran ring announcer Lilian Garcia revealed that former WWE Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods set her up with her fiancé, Patrick Ellrich. Ellrich is a former wrestler and went by the ring name Hayden Young. He also held the NWA Anarchy Tag Team Championship with Woods.
During the conversation, Lilian Garcia explained how she first met Patrick Ellrich.
“It’s pretty incredible,” Lilian Garcia began, “We now watch together, and it’s so much fun. I can say wrestling terms and he totally gets it. It was meant to be. I really wanted to come to get to know him and dive into each other without the public getting involved. Now that it’s out, which I’m excited to share. I was on another date for Bumble, my first Bumble ever. I knew it wasn’t going to work, but after a hike with him he asked if I wanted to go to the Proper Hop Taphouse in Roswell, Georgia.
“I walk in and meet the bartender and think he is cute. Then he came out to clean up the tables and him and my date strike up a conversation and find he owns the place. He goes back inside and comes back out and tells me that he used to wrestle for NWA Anarchy. He was tag team partners with Xavier Woods. They were actually tag team champions. In what world do you come across that?” Lilian Garcia said.

Speaking further, Lilian Garcia revealed that Xavier Woods convinced her to go on a date with Patrick Ellrich. The two started texting and eventually fell in love. They got engaged last month and are planning to get married in 2026.
“We had to take a picture and send it to Xavier. He asked me how my date was going. I told him the guy isn’t for me. Then we got our photo, and he sent it to Xavier. I showed up on Monday for Raw and Xavier said, “you met my boy Patrick.” His name is actually Patrick Ellrich, who went by “The Attraction” Hayden Young. He was telling me how great Patrick was, and I should definitely go on a date,” Lilian Garcia continued.
“Patrick told Xavier to say we looked cute together in the photo. I said to give him my number and send me the photo. We started texting. That was it. We’ve been inseparable ever since. We are engaged and planning to get married in 2026.
“It is wild how this whole thing unfolded. I’m down on my knees not only praying for finances, but to bring me the relationship I always dreamed of. I hope this gives people hope out there. You can get back on track no matter if you’re divorced, having money issues. Do what you can on your end. I got prepared for a relationship and understanding finances more. Do what you can do, and God will meet you the other way,” Lilian Garcia said.
