#10. Former WWE Superstar Matt Hardy and Reby Sky became parents for the fourth time in 2021

Former WWE Superstar Matt Hardy is currently spicing things up for AEW. Hardy is married to former IMPACT Wrestling star Reby Sky.

The couple married in October 2013 and appeared for several wrestling promotions together. Reby was also part of Matt Hardy’s vignettes for WWE as part of his Broken Universe.

The couple have three sons, Maxel, Wolfgang and Bartholemew. Their eldest son, dubbed ‘King Maxel’, played a key role in his father’s cinematic segments on IMPACT Wrestling and also appeared in WWE. In early 2021, Hardy took to Instagram to announce that his wife was expecting their fourth child. The Broken One was happy to announce that Sky was expecting a baby girl this time around.

“#TeamBoy is SO stacked in House Hardy, we decided to add a new member to #TeamGirl!”

Reby Sky gave birth to the couple’s fourth child Ever “Eevee” Moore Hardy, who arrived on Sunday, July 11, in an outdoor home birth.

“Eevee was born at home at 5:18 p.m., weighing 6lbs, 8oz,” the pair told Us on Tuesday, July 13, noting that their daughter was 20 inches long. “[She was] lovingly welcomed by Mom and Dad and surrounded by a team of professional midwives and doulas … outdoors, during a rainstorm.”

Hardy is currently ripping it up in the ring for AEW. It looks like the former WWE Superstar still has a lot left in the tank, and we could even see him reunite with his brother Jeff Hardy for a final run.

#9. Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston’s third child was born in 2021

WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston has been doing incredibly well in the company for the past several years. The New Day member is among the top stars in the company.

This year, Kingston was blessed with another child. Kingston has been married to Kori Campfield since 2010. The couple gave birth to their third child in November 2021.

Kofi took to Twitter and Instagram to announce the birth of his daughter Lotus Selene Sarkodie-Mensah. Lotus was born on November 23, 2021, at the Kingston residence. The baby girl weighed 6 pounds 2 ounces and measured 19.5 inches long at the time of birth.

“Witnessing my wife give life to our precious baby girl left me in awe…Our tribe grows larger as our familial bond grows even stronger! Lotus Selene Sarkodie-Mensah was born at home late Tuesday night, weighing 6lbs 2oz & 19.5” long. Welcome to the world, my little love!” Kingston wrote.

Kofi and Kori also have two sons together. Kai was born in 2013, while Orion Kingsley was born in April 2016. The two little ones were there to celebrate with Kofi when he won his first WWE Championship.

It would be great to watch him win another WWE title with Lotus there to celebrate with him.

#7-8. Former WWE Superstars Brandi and Cody Rhodes welcomed their first child in 2021

Cody Rhodes became a household name in the WWE during the 2010s. Cody outperformed several other superstars, but never got to the top of the company himself.

Cody met his wife Brandi Rhodes while working for WWE. They tied the knot in September 2013. In 2019, Cody helped form All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as a rival to WWE.

Brandi announced her pregnancy on an episode of AEW Dynamite in December 2020. Cody also spoke to US Weekly and revealed that the couple were ready to welcome a baby girl.

"I am having a girl. I’m excited. I had a gut feeling. I’m excited, I’m proud. It’s gonna be really cool.… I’m not crying on camera." Cody Rhodes said (h/t US Weekly)

Cody and Brandi welcomed their first child into the world on June 18, 2021. Speaking to The Buzz, the former WWE Superstar confirmed that he would love to introduce his child to the world of wrestling.

“It’s a great industry. It’s finally thriving again. I’m so proud of being a pro-wrestler. I’ll definitely be bringing he or she, whenever I’m told or whenever Brandi lets me know; I’ll bring them around it. The sky’s the limit for a baby Rhodes, that’s for sure. My dad was really good, he just brought me around it. If I liked it, I liked it, and if I didn’t, he wouldn’t bring me around it [the wrestling business]. I think we’ll apply the same thing." Cody Rhodes said (h/t Wrestling Inc.)

Cody and Brandi are arguably the most influential power couple in the wrestling industry today. That could help their child make it big in the wrestling world if she decides to take that route in the years to come.

#6. The Heart of WWE Mustafa Ali became a father for the third time in 2021

WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali is breaking stereotypes and doing whatever he can to become a big name in the industry. Many fans of Ali believe that the superstar deserves so much more than what he’s already achieved in WWE.

Ali is married to Uzma Alam, with the couple residing in Chicago, Illinois. The WWE Superstar announced in late November that his wife had given birth to their third child. Ali and Uzma were blessed with a baby girl on the 24th of November, 2021.

The WWE Superstar revealed that they named their daughter “Dua,” which means prayer in Arabic. He took to Twitter to announce the birth and reveal his daughter’s name. He stated that the couple prayed hard for their daughter, and that’s why they decided to name her Dua.

Mustafa Ali received heartwarming replies from the entire WWE Universe after the announcement. Even wrestlers from rival promotions were excited with the announcement.

The birth of his daughter could fuel Ali’s desire to reach the top of the company. WWE will hopefully give him some big storylines to work in 2022.

#5. Renee Pacquette and former WWE Superstar Jon Moxley welcomed their first child in 2021

Jon Moxley was once a top superstar in WWE. Known as Dean Ambrose during his time in the company, Moxley won several top championships after working as a member of The Shield for several years.

It was while working for WWE that Moxley met his wife, Renee Pacquette. The two instantly became one of the most talked-about couples in the industry. The couple eventually got married on April 9, 2017, in their backyard.

Moxley later moved to AEW, following which Renee also left WWE. Earlier this year, Jon and Renee welcomed their first child into the world. Renee Pacquette gave birth on June 15, 2021, to a daughter who the couple named Nora. Renee took to Twitter to make the announcement.

“Baby girl is officially here, so I’m checking out and becoming a mom. (She’s absolutely incredible!!) I have a bunch of guest hosts lined up for you guys and I started with none other than my baby daddy, cool dude husband @JonMoxley check it here”

The couple received all the love from the wrestling community following the announcement. Both WWE and AEW stars wished the couple and their baby well. Moxley has now taken a break from the ring to deal with some personal difficulties. Fans are patiently waiting for him to return to the ring again.

#3-4. Erik and former WWE Superstar Sarah Logan became parents in 2021

Former WWE Superstar Sarah Logan announced her pregnancy in mid-2020. Sarah was one of the many superstars who were released from their contracts by WWE in April 2020 as part of budget cuts.

Her husband Erik is currently performing as one half of The Viking Raiders and is a part of the WWE SmackDown roster. Along with Sarah, he has a Youtube channel called The Wild and The Free TV. The couple announced Sarah’s pregnancy on their YouTube channel in June 2020.

In February 2021, Sarah gave birth to the couple’s first child. Erik took to Twitter to announce the birth of his son Raymond Cash Rowe.

The couple has since appeared on their YouTube channel and referred to the little one as “Baby Cash.” He could look to follow in his parent’s footsteps and become a successful professional wrestler someday.

Erik is currently looking to enter the SmackDown Tag Team Championship picture soon and win the titles.

#2. Former WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey gave birth to her first daughter in 2021

Ronda Rousey competed in WWE for just over a year. During that time, she became one of the most well-known female WWE Superstars thanks to her star power and work in MMA.

Rousey competed in her final match at WrestleMania 35. She was pinned for the first time in her career and lost the RAW Women’s Championship.

Following her loss, Rousey decided to take a break from the ring and build her family. The Rowdy One was already fulfilling parenting duties as stepmother to Travis Browne's two children from a previous marriage.

After trying to have a child of her own, Rousey gave birth to her first daughter, La’akea Makalapuaokalanipõ Browne, on September 27, 2021.

In an interview with E Online, the former MMA fighter spoke about how she thought there was nobody for her, until she met Browne and started a family with him.

"And then it went from that, looking out for number one, to completely an entire family. It taught me how much joy I can get in not really thinking about myself."

"I swore on my life that I would never cook for a man, and Trav has completely changed my whole mind about everything. He did that not by ever asking me to cook, but for cooking for me for the first year-and-a-half we were together." Rousey said

The couple have been together since 2013. It is good to see Rousey enjoying her time outside the ring and building her family. The Baddest Woman on the Planet could return to WWE for another run sometime soon.

#1. WWE Superstar Lacey Evans gave birth to her second daughter in 2021

In early 2021, WWE Superstar Lacey Evans started a storyline with Ric Flair. Evans was seen flirting with Ric on multiple occasions while pushing her rivalry with then-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Charlotte Flair.

The storyline continued for a few weeks, and Ric started to play along with Evans. In mid-February, it was announced that Evans was pregnant in real-life. WWE tried to use her pregnancy in the storyline, but it did not do well. In the end, the creative team had to cancel the storyline as Evans was unable to compete in the ring.

Lacey Evans was written off television, and she spent nearly the entire year off WWE TV. On October 16, 2021, Evans announced the birth of her second daughter. WWE broke the news with the following message on its website:

“Lacey Evans and her husband welcomed another li'l lady to their family early Saturday morning. Weighing 7 pounds and 8 ounces, the baby arrived at 4:20 a.m.”

Evans will likely take a short break, following which she will start training to get back in the ring. Many rivalries await Evans on the WWE main roster, and her fans are waiting for her to return.
