6 Current WWE Superstars who became fathers in 2021

The beginning of 2021 was filled with hope, as WWE and the world looked to begin a new chapter and move away from the COVID-19 pandemic.

WWE has begun touring with SmackDown and RAW and fans are finally back in attendance. To add to the wave of optimism, several current WWE Superstars have also been able to announce the arrival of their children this year.

Whilst the WWE Universe tends to focus on female competitors who have left the company to become mothers in recent years, there are quite a few WWE Superstars who are now fathers.

The following list looks at just six WWE Superstars who have become fathers in the past calendar year.

#6. Current WWE NXT UK Superstar Sha Samuels

Sha Samuels is a relatively new face in WWE after making his debut in the company on NXT UK back in January. Samuels initially debuted as Ed Harvey, before denouncing the name and reverting back to his Indy name.

The star took to Twitter back in October to announce that he had welcomed a new addition to his family, a little girl whom he and his wife had chosen to call Skylar.

The couple already has a son together, but Skylar has now made them a family of four. Samuels has continued to fill his social media with pictures of his happy brood over the past few months.

#5. WWE NXT Superstar UK Joaquin Wilde and his wife Rebecca Schott

Joaquin Wilde has been seen as one of the stars who are the future of WWE in recent years, but whilst his professional career is taking off, the star has also shared some happy personal news.

Wilde shared the news on his Twitter page back in January that he and his wife Rebecca Schott had welcomed their first child, a girl. The star also revealed that the couple had called their daughter Raquel Marlena Paris aka Raqi.

Wilde went on to share that he was very emotional following the birth since he thinks that he cried more than his daughter did when she finally made her way into the world.

#4. Current WWE Superstar Erik

Erik and his wife Sarah Logan were working together on WWE's RAW roster until April 2020, when Logan was released as part of the company's budget cuts.

The news turned around for the better a few weeks later when Logan announced that she was expecting the couple's first child, a boy. The couple went on to name the child Raymond Cash Rowe after his father.

The couple's son definitely forced them to wait as Logan went several weeks overdue before finally welcoming her little boy in February.

The couple announced that Logan was in labor for a total of 44 hours before welcoming her son, who was 8lb 11oz.

Erik was able to take some time away from WWE TV in order to be with his wife for several weeks after the birth of their first child. The one-half of The Viking Raiders has since made his return to the company and currently appears on SmackDown.

Logan has expressed her desire to make her wrestling return and has since been linked with a move to AEW.

#3.WWE Producer Pat Buck and his wife Lauren

Pat Buck is perhaps best known to the WWE Universe for his segment with Nia Jax back in 2020 where he was forced to suspend the star when she attacked him.

Buck has been around the wrestling business for more than two decades.

The former wrestler signed with WWE in 2019 and became part of their backstage team as a producer. It appears that this role was short-lived since he was one of several employees furloughed by WWE in April 2020.

Of course, Buck was welcomed back since he later appeared on-screen as part of a brawl between Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax. This led to a short storyline between Buck and Jax. The star remains a producer behind the scenes in WWE, despite not being seen on-screen for more than a year.

Buck revealed on his Twitter page back in May that he had become a father to a little boy after his wife had given birth. The couple also publicly announced that they had called their son Harrison Andrew Buckridge and he weighed an impressive 9lbs.

Buck has continued to flood his social media pages with pictures of the newest member of his family over the past few months and even recently updated cute pictures of the little one's first meeting with Santa.

#2. Current WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali has been a consistent performer on WWE TV over the past few years, and it's relatively well-known that Ali already has two children.

The former leader of RETRIBUTION and his wife Uzma met in 2010 before going on to marry in 2011. In the years that followed, the couple went on to welcome a son and a daughter.

Earlier this year, Ali announced that the couple was expecting their third child, a second girl. Ali was able to take some time away from the company in order to be by his wife's side when she gave birth to their third child.

Ali took to Twitter back in November to reveal that the couple had welcomed Dua Alam. The star also noted that the couple had decided to call her Dua because they had prayed so hard for her.

Ali's children have appeared on WWE TV several times in the past, and are now relatively well-known to the WWE Universe.

#1. Current WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston welcomed his first daughter

Kofi Kingston is a former WWE Champion and is set to challenge for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships alongside Xavier Woods at WWE Day 1 next year.

The former champion has had a whirlwind year, which culminated in the birth of his first daughter last month. Kingston was written off TV at the end of November and was forced to miss WWE's Survivor Series event in order to welcome his third child.

The New Day star revealed on his Instagram page that his daughter Lotus Selene Sarkodie-Mensah had arrived at the end of last month and that she weighed 6lb 2oz.

Kingston's wife was able to give birth to her third child at home, which meant that her two sons Orion and Khi were on hand to meet their new sister.

Kingston has since returned to WWE TV and been entered back into the Tag Team Championship picture, but the star continues to post updates of his little girl online.
