Brie and Nikki Bella recently announced that they are both pregnant at the same time, with Brie expecting her second child with former WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan, whilst her sister Nikki Bella and her fiance, Artem Chigvintsev, are getting ready to welcome their first child together.

Of course, despite the media coverage that the Bella Twins have received since making the announcement, they are not the first WWE stars to welcome children whilst still being seen as active stars.

Over the past six months, there have been a number of current WWE stars who have welcomed children into the world. Not all these stars have been able to announce the newest members of their families to quite as much drama and fanfare, since their personal lives are not considered to be as high-profile as The Bella Twins.

Nonetheless, it's time to take a look back at some of the happiest times in the lives of a selection of current WWE Superstars as they revel in the news of their new arrivals.


#5. Sunil Singh

Sunil Singh is a former 24/7 Champion in WWE, but his brother, Samir, has been catching all the headlines in recent weeks, after he married Indian actress Gurpreet Grewal at the beginning of February.

Sunil was fresh off the news that he had become a father when he attended the ceremony, since it was revealed that Sunil and his wife, Romona, welcomed their first child back in December.

"On December 13th, 2019, my wife and I welcomed our son, Gurveer Singh Sihra into this world," Singh wrote on Instagram, noting that his son was born at Royal Columbian Hospital in British Columbia. "Thank you God for this amazing blessing. (Baby boy needs tassels) #BabyBollywood."

The official announcement on WWE's website noted that his son was born weighing 6lb 10oz, and stated that both mother and baby were doing well.

#4. Shorty G

It's been a rough few months for Shorty G, formerly Chad Gable, who came up short in the King of the Ring tournament last year, even though he underwent a name change that seemingly makes fun of the fact that he's short!

Not only was he beaten in the final of the King of the Ring tournament by Baron Corbin, but Sheamus then made his return to WWE and seemingly decided to target the former Tag Team Champion.

Interestingly, despite the fact that his career in the ring has been less than stellar, the former Olympian and his wife Kristi had some good news back in November, when it was made public knowledge that he had finally welcomed his first son into the world.

Shorty G revealed that his new son is called Charles James Betts and weighed 9lbs when he was born on November 18th, 2019. This is the couple's third child, after their second daughter Meadow Ann Betts was born back in January 2018.Their first daughter was born at the beginning of Gable's WWE career.

#3. Tony Nese

It appears that 2019 was a fantastic year for Tony Nese, both inside the ring and out. As a WWE Superstar, last year marked one of the most notable achievements of his career as the Premiere Athlete shocked the world at WrestleMania back in April when he defeated Buddy Murphy on the Kickoff Show to become Cruiserweight Champion. Perhaps even more joyous than that. however, was the amazing personal news that he went on to share come the end of the year.

The former champion revealed back in November that he and his wife had welcomed a son, called Eric Nese to the world, and that their newest arrival weighed a hefty 9lbs. WWE congratulated their cruiserweight star on the news, announcing on their official site: "It's a huge day for Tony Nese as the Superstar welcomed his beautiful baby boy into the world on Friday! Eric Nese, who the proud new dad called "the future #PremierAthlete," was born weighing 9 lbs."

While this is a first son for Nese and his wife, the two do already have a daughter together.

#2. Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy's WWE contract expired today, but the former Tag Team Champion's future as a parent looks as though it's a long way away from coming to an end, since he announced that he and his wife, Reby Sky, had their third son back in December.

Matt Hardy and Sky already have two sons together; Maxel Hardy - who was a huge part of the storyline regarding The Broken Matt Hardy back in Impact Wrestling - and Wolfgang, who was born back in June 2017. Their third son is called Bartholomew "Bartie" Kit.

Hardy and Sky have always included their children in their wrestling careers, and were even able to become part of a storyline with Bray Wyatt a few years ago. That being said, Matt Hardy's future is now somewhat unclear. If he does head over to AEW, then expect Maxel and his wife Reby to make a reappearance, as the Broken Hardy family once again decides to dominate the wrestling world - this time with two new members within t.

#1. Mike and Maria Kanellis

When Mike and Maria Kanellis returned to WWE TV back in 2017, it was thought that they would become WWE's newest 'IT Couple', to rival The Miz and Maryse. There were a few weeks where it seemed that this could be the case, but Maria became pregnant not long afterwards and, in 2018, she gave birth to the couple's first child, Fredrica Moon.

Maria and Mike then went on to sign new five-year deals with WWE amidst speculation that they were heading to AEW. Merely weeks later, it was announced on Monday Night RAW that Maria and Mike were expecting their second child, who then became part of their storyline.

Maria belittled Kanellis throughout the next few weeks - with Maria even becoming 24/7 Champion at her husband's expense, before the duo were written off WWE TV, returning to 205 Live. Maria gave birth to the couple's second child, their first son, at the beginning of February. The couple took to social media to announce that he had arrived safely, and that they had chosen the name Carver Mars Bennett.
