Several years since reports first suggested Dave Bautista and Sarah Jade had split up, neither party has shared what led to their divorce. All Bautista has volunteered is that he should have known better than to get the aforementioned tattoo he’s since covered up: her name on his ring finger. In a sit-down with GQ, he laughed, “My mom always said, ‘Don’t put a woman’s name on you,’ and I didn’t listen. And so here they are, cover-ups — but, you know, you live and you learn.”
Further than that, figuring out what really prompted their breakup takes a little sleuthing — and all signs seem to point at Bautista’s career being his number one priority. Reason being? Speaking of the relationship he’s in today, Bautista told Men’s Health that he’s finally found someone who can relate to his Hollywood schedule. He’s previously admitted to Comicbook that at least one of his marriages ended because of said schedule, acknowledging, “We still remain friends, but just never being home just tore our marriage apart.” In light of that, it only makes sense that he’s reveling in his new relationship with a love interest who also works in the movie business.

As for Jade, she’s stayed mum on the divorce. To date, her only comment came in the form of a reply to an Instagram comment, asking what happened. “Not trying to be an a**hole here, but life goes on,” she wrote.
