WWE Superstar Carmella (aka Leah Van Dale) is expecting her first child with husband Corey Graves.

The former SmackDown Women's Champion has gone through a lot over the past few months. She suffered a miscarriage in September and was treated for an ectopic pregnancy in October 2022.

Carmella spoke exclusively to Good Morning America and revealed that she is pregnant. Check out her comments below:

"It's just all been such a whirlwind. Think because of my past, it was hard to get excited off the bat about this one, but I was cautiously optimistic. I try to have a good mindset, a positive mindset this time around, and it's working. So I'm very happy about that." [H/T Good Morning America]

Carmella will be away from in-ring action in WWE for a while

The last time Van Dale competed in the ring was in March. She was involved in a 10-Person Tag Team match at a WWE live event in Madison Square Garden. She teamed up with Piper Niven and Damage CTRL, with the villains losing to Asuka, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, and Nikki Cross.

Now that she's announced her pregnancy, her fans will have to wait a good while before they see her on WWE TV again. Wrestling Twitter is abuzz with congratulatory messages for the WWE Superstar at the moment.

The Sportskeeda Wrestling community sends its heartiest congratulations to Van Dale and Corey Graves.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
