Every wrestler at some point in their career has talked about how hectic life on the road can be, waking up in one city and going to sleep in another, but it's the life that wrestlers sign up for and seemingly one that many stars are happy to bring a child into.

In recent years, the likes of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, The Miz and Maryse as well as Mike and Maria Kanellis have all welcomed children whilst still performing on WWE's main roster and being able to juggle life on the road at the same time.

This isn't something new for WWE stars and thankfully for the women, the maternity leave gives them enough time to recover before returning, since Maryse famously wrestled just four months after giving birth to her daughter Monroe Sky.

Whilst these three couples are easily the most famous ones to start a family whilst still active in the business, it's worth noting that they are not the only ones.


#5. Wesley Blake and Sara Lee

Wesley Blake and Sara Lee met whilst both performing down in NXT, since Sara Lee was the female winner of 2015's WWE Tough Enough and was handed a contract for one year following her victory.

Lee didn't make the right impression in that year and it was revealed in late 2016 that WWE had decided to release the star from the company. Merely days later, Lee took to social media to reveal that the couple was expecting their first child together, a daughter that they later called Piper.

The couple has since gone on to welcome a son called Brady who was born back in 2019, all whilst Blake was performing on NXT as part of The Forgotten Sons.

#4. Bray Wyatt and Jojo Offerman

Bray Wyatt has become one of the most popular stars on WWE's main roster over the past year after returning from injury to debut the character of The Fiend and the world beyond The Firefly Fun House.

Wyatt took some time away from the company at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 when he and his girlfriend WWE ring announcer JoJo Offerman announced that they were expecting their first child.

Offerman, whilst still contracted to WWE, hasn't been seen since the fall of 2018 and announced that her son Knash Sixx arrived safely back in May 2019. Offerman did have some trouble whilst giving birth and her mother noted on Instagram that the former Total Divas star lost a lot of blood and doctors were worried about her throughout the process.

Luckily both Offerman and Knash came through the birth safely and there is now speculation that JoJo may be ready to make her return to WWE sometime in the near future to continue her work on Monday Night Raw.

#3. Nick Aldis and Mickie James

Mickie James is a six-time Women's Champion in WWE, but she was still released from the company back in 2012 and decided to move over to Impact Wrestling. It was whilst James was performing as part of TNA's roster that she met her future husband Nick Aldis, who's more commonly known by his ring name Magnus.

James was performing on the Independent Circuit back in 2014 when she revealed that she and Aldis were expecting their first child. Aldis was performing for Impact Wrestling and was the TNA World Heavyweight Champion at the time.

Mickie gave birth to the couple's son whom they called Donovan in September 2014 and returned to the ring as part of the Impact Wrestling tapings in January 2015. James has since been able to return to WWE and been a major part of the recent boost for the Women's Division, but her contract recently came to an end and it appears that there are no plans for James to re-sign as an active talent with WWE.

#2. Cedric Alexander and Ariel Monroe

Cedric Alexander made his way to WWE through the Cruiserweight Classic a few years ago, but before the former Cruiserweight Champion became known to a much wider audience, he was performing on the Independent Circuit for almost a decade after making his debut in the business back in 2009.

Alexander married Ariel Monroe back in 2018, but the couple has been together for a number of years since they have a daughter together called Adessah who is five years old, which means that she was born back in 2014.

Monroe and Alexander's daughter is six years old later this year, which means that Monroe was wrestling just after she gave birth to her daughter, since she made her professional debut back in 2015. As Ariel Monroe, she also made an appearance on an episode of Monday Night RAW back in 2016 where she took on Nia Jax.

Monroe currently performs for Impact Wrestling under the ring name "Big Swole" where she is one of the biggest stars of their Women's Division.

#1. Matt Hardy and Reby Sky

Matt Hardy is making all of the headlines at present due to the fact that his future with WWE is seemingly undecided, but what is known about the former Hardy Boyz star is that he is the father of three children with his wife Reby Sky.

Sky and Hardy met when they were both wrestling together on the Independent Circuit and later married back in October 2013. Sky then appeared alongside Matt Hardy in Impact Wrestling throughout 2014 and 2015 before their first son Maxel was born in June 2015.

Maxel became a huge part of the storyline along with Hardy in Impact Wrestling before the couple welcomed their second child, a son called Wolfgang two years later in 2017. The month before their second son was born, Hardy made his return to WWE, whilst his wife Rebecca remained in the background but did appear at The Hardy Compound for Matt's match against Bray Wyatt in 2018.

The following year in December, Hardy, and Reby welcomed their third son Bartholomew, "Bartie" Kit Hardy.
