1996 to 2000: Triple H and Chyna

After Chyna passed away in 2016, her sister Kathy Hamilton told Bleacher Report that Chyna started dating Triple H in 1996 and asked him to keep the relationship hidden from their colleagues. According to Hamilton, they initially hid their relationship from their co-workers because Chyna felt that people might think she took the 'wrong' route to the top. Reports also state that the couple lived together for some time before they began having arguments.
