AEW stars spend hours on the road entertaining fans and putting on some of the best shows. They often get to spend little time with their families with such a hectic schedule.
Many AEW stars try to give as much time to their families once they are done with their professional commitments. Cody, Bryan Danielson, and Brian Cage are some of the big names in AEW who juggle work and personal life together.
Several AEW stars have also recently become fathers; hence they have taken time away from the ring to help their partners with parental duties.
Meanwhile, a few AEW stars are waiting to become fathers as their partners are expecting. Take a look at the four AEW stars who became fathers this year, and two will soon.
