I (28M) Think My Wife (27F) is in a Parasocial Relationship and I don’t know if I should continue?

I met my wife when we were 20. She’s been a WWE fan for as long as I’ve known her. She’s a big fan of a wrestler named Natalya Neidhart aka Nattie. My wife has bought all her merch and even got a follow from her on Twitter. Recently, I surprised here with tickets to go to a wrestling show where Natalya was gonna wrestle. She was thrilled. We went and had a good time (even I enjoyed the wrestling). We were close enough from my wife to get Natalya’s attention and she was kind enough to take a photo. When we got back, my wife was so excited, jumping up and down in the hotel room. She was so happy and I was happy I was able to do something shed cherish for a long time.

That was a few weeks ago and for some reason, almost every conversation we have, my wife brings up Natalya and it’s weird. This has been going on since and just yesterday my wife said she wishes she could give Natalya a kiss which I found weird and disturbing. It’s made me rethink a lot of things and I’m not sure if I want to continue if she thinks she would rather be with somebody else.

Think it’s important to add that Natalya is in her 40s and is married.

Anybody got any ideas on how I should approach this?
