Stacy Keibler: 5 Facts About the Former Wrestler

Stacy Keibler, George Clooney's latest lady love, is more than just arm candy – though the two made quite the handsome couple at the Toronto Film Festival over the weekend.

The actress and model known for her 42 in.-long legs is also a retired professional wrestler and unabashed tomboy. She put her girly side on display during the second season of Dancing with the Stars when she sashayed her way into the finals with Tony Dovolani and was the odds makers' favorite to win.


Here are five more things to know about the self-proclaimed "guys' girl."

1. She's fearless.
Keibler bungee-jumped off the highest commercial bungee bridge in the world, the Bloukrans Bungy in South Africa. "I bungee jumped off the Guinness Book of World Records bungee jump," Keibler told PEOPLE at a Call of Duty XP fan event. "So I think zip lining here, piece of cake."

2. She's a video game character.
Keibler's likeness appears in two games in the WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw series for PlayStation. "I was definitely a better wrestler in the video game than I ever was in real life," she admits. "So it was better to watch myself wrestle in the video game."


3. She goes by many names.
During her stint on Dancing with the Stars, judge Bruno Tonioli nicknamed her "The Weapon of Mass Seduction." In the wrestling world, she's also been known as Super Stacy, Miss Hancock, Nitro Girl Skye, The Legs of WCW, The Legs of WWE and The Duchess of Dudleyville. To her friends, she's just "Keibler." According to the former wrestler, her buddies have called her by her last name since high school.

4. She has team spirit.
The Baltimore native cheered for her hometown NFL team, The Ravens, for two years while she was in school. When Keibler won a $10,000 competition to join the WWE Nitro Girls, she used the money to buy season tickets. The former cheerleader is still a season ticket holder – and she plays Fantasy Football.

5. She's not afraid to get serious.
Keibler dated She's Out of My League and 7th Heaven star Geoff Stults for five years before they split in early 2010. The couple was a fixture on the Hollywood party scene, and Keibler even appeared alongside her then-boyfriend in the season finale of his short-lived TV series October Road.

Before Stults the wrestling star was reportedly with her high school boyfriend for seven years. She's also been romantically linked to WWE stars David Flair and Test. Both were let go by the WWE following their relationships with Keibler, prompting the actress to joke to WrestlingInc.com, "I'm like the kiss of death!"
