Johnny Candido, brother of the late Chris Candido, has recently spoken out against WWE Hall of Famer Sunny’s claims that she and Chris were on a break when she had a love affair with Shawn Michaels. Chris and Sunny had been dating since they were 17 and were together until Chris’s untimely passing in 2005. However, Sunny had previously stated in an interview that she and Chris were on a break when her romantic involvement with Michaels began during her time in WWE.
During an interview with Cafe de Rene, Johnny Candido refuted Sunny’s claim, asserting that there was never a break in Chris and Sunny’s relationship. He emphasized that even when they were physically apart, they maintained constant communication, frequently calling each other. Johnny explained that he had conversations with family members who questioned when Sunny would have had the opportunity to cheat on Chris, as they were together most of the time.
Johnny further dismissed Sunny’s claim by sharing an anecdote about the closest thing to a break in their relationship. He mentioned that there was one instance when Chris and Sunny had an argument, and Chris spent a night at a motel. However, Johnny implied that this was a rare occurrence, and it does not align with Sunny’s assertion of being on a break during her involvement with Shawn Michaels.
“Even when they weren’t together, they were talking to each other every two seconds. So, yeah, that whole thing that they were on a break is f**king bullsh*t. One time, this is the closest thing they got to a break. One time they got in a fight and he left and spent the night at a motel. One night.”
Johnny Candido’s remarks shed doubt on Sunny’s account and support the notion that Chris and Sunny’s relationship remained intact during the period when she allegedly had a love affair with Shawn Michaels. The details surrounding the dynamics of their relationship during that time continue to be a subject of discussion among wrestling fans and insiders.
