The recent lockdown following the COVID-19 pandemic has created something of a baby boom all over the world and of course, the wrestling business has been affected along with WWE.
Several current and former WWE Superstars have revealed that they are expecting a child in the coming months, whilst others have announced the arrival of the newest member of their family.
The likes of Kofi Kingston, Mustafa Ali, Ronda Rousey, and Lacey Evans are all set to welcome new family members by the end of 2021, whilst several other current and former WWE stars have already announced their child's arrival.
The following list looks at just eight current and former WWE Superstars who have welcomed children over the past seven months, with many of these superstars becoming parents for the first time.
Trending
#8 and #7. Former WWE Superstars Renee Paquette (Young) and Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose)
Jon Moxley left WWE back in 2019 after he made the decision not to re-sign with the company after his contract expired following WrestleMania 35.
Under the name Dean Ambrose, the former star had been part of the company for more than seven years after debuting on the main roster back in 2012 but has since made the move over to AEW.
Whilst working for WWE, Moxley met his future wife Renee Young, who followed her husband out of the exit door just a year later. Following SummerSlam in 2020, she left the company and is now known under her real name Renee Paquette.
In the fall of 2020, Jon Moxley announced that they were expecting their first child in a nonchalant, throwaway line on an episode of AEW Dynamite. Paquette later confirmed this when she revealed that they were expecting a baby girl.
She kept the WWE Universe updated throughout her pregnancy on her Instagram page, and announced the arrival of her daughter last month. Paquette made the announcement on her Twitter page alongside a plug for her latest podcast on the 15th of June.
The former WWE Superstars have kept much of the information regarding their daughter as private as possible, but it was confirmed by Paquette that the couple had decided to name their daughter Nora.
#6. Current WWE Producer Pat Buck and his wife Lauren
Pat Buck currently works as a backstage producer in WWE, and the star has more than two decades in the wrestling business after making his debut in 2003.
In recent months, Buck has made several cameo appearances on WWE TV when needed to break up fights or be part of ongoing storylines.
He started in the business in the early 2000s but didn't sign with WWE until 2019 when he became a backstage producer. Buck was one of the producers who were furloughed by WWE in April 2020 before being rehired.
In the summer of 2020, he was involved in a brawl between Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler where he was forced to suspend Jax indefinitely after he was attacked by the former RAW Women's Champion.
Back in May, Buck revealed on his Twitter page that he and his wife Lauren had welcomed a baby boy. As part of the update, Pat Buck also revealed that the couple had called their son Harrison Andrew Buckridge and that he weighed 9lbs.
#5 and #4. Former WWE Superstars Brandi and Cody Rhodes
Brandi and Cody Rhodes are now the faces of All Elite Wrestling, but there was a time when the two stars were contracted to WWE.
Known as Eden Stiles, Brandi Rhodes served as a ring announcer for much of her tenure in WWE, which is where she met her future husband Cody Rhodes. The couple married back in 2013 before leaving the company in 2016.
Cody had asked for his WWE release in May 2016, which was granted the following day, before his wife Brandi then followed suit and her release was also granted a few days later.
Since 2019, the couple has been associated with AEW and in 2020, the couple announced they were expecting their first child on an episode of Dynamite.
It was later revealed that the couple were expecting a baby girl and just days after Renee Paquette and Jon Moxley welcomed their daughter Nora, Cody announced the arrival of their little girl.
The couple revealed that their daughter was called Liberty Iris Runnels and she was born on June 18th, 2021.
#3. Former WWE Superstar Matt Hardy and his wife Reby Sky
Matt Hardy's name will always be synonymous with WWE following his lengthy career with the company, but in recent months the star has been making a name for himself in AEW.
Hardy left WWE in March 2020 and has since joined the ranks in AEW. The former WWE Superstar is married to fellow wrestler Reby Sky, whom he met whilst working in IMPACT Wrestling. Despite the 12-year age gap, the couple has already been married for more than seven years and in that time they have welcomed four children.
The couple's oldest son Maxel was born back in June 2015, before Wolfgang "Wolfie" Xander arrived two years later in June 2017 and Bartholomew "Bartie" Kit was born in December 2019.
The couple announced that they were expecting a fourth child late last year, before recently revealing that their first daughter was born at home this time around. Ever "Eevee" Moore arrived on Sunday July 11th and is the latest addition to the growing Hardy brood.
#2 and #1. Former WWE Superstar Sarah Logan and current WWE star Erik
Sarah Logan was released from WWE as part of the budget cuts in April 2020, a talent cull that her husband Erik was able to survive.
Just weeks after her release, Logan announced on her YouTube Channel that the couple was expecting their first child together. They later revealed publicly that they were expecting a baby boy and that he would be called Raymond Cash Rowe.
Logan updated the WWE Universe throughout her pregnancy, before finally giving birth at 42 weeks back in February.
The former WWE Superstar noted that she was in labor for 44 hours before finally having a C-section at home. Raymond weighed 8lb 11oz when he was born.
Logan has since noted that she hopes to make her wrestling return following the birth of her first child, whilst her husband Erik remains an active part of the RAW roster.
Erik is one half of The Viking Raiders, who will challenge for the RAW Tag Team Championships on Sunday night at Money in the Bank.
