They may be tough, menacing, and absolutely ruthless in the ring, but these WWE stars are loving, nurturing moms to their kids when they aren’t kicking a** under the lights. From retired wrestlers like Stacy Keibler to stars who are still putting the smack down today — we’re looking at you, Becky Lynch — each of these moms rose to fame through WWE before shifting their focus to motherhood.
Lynch typically keeps her life with daughter Roux from the public eye, but in 2023, she shared a rare photo with the little girl in honor of Mother’s Day. The May 14 Instagram post was captioned, “Best thing I’ve ever done was become this tiny legend’s mammy. Happy Mother’s Day all you human raising beasts.”

In an equally rare interview, the WWE star opened up about how much she missed wrestling while she was pregnant. Lynch told FOX, “Being pregnant, I was not one of those women that’s just like oh, this is so nice, I get to sit back. I love working and so being away from the ring for that length of time was painful for me, it was really painful.”
Nikki Bella, on the other hand, was ready to retire from her WWE career before she became a mom. She explained during a 2019 episode of Total Bellas, “I just feel like I’m too old for that travel. That travel was really, really rough. So I realized, I was like, ‘Why am I doing this anymore?’” Bella added, “I really am ready to hang up the jersey. Like, I can say it fully.” A year later, she welcomed her first child — a son named Matteo.
