Bianca Belair surprised fans at WWE WrestleMania 42 when she revealed that she and husband Montez Ford were expecting a toddler together. On the time of the announcement, “The EST” had spent a yr away from in-ring motion on account of finger injuries and subsequent surgery. As documented in her recent YouTube series, a few of that point away from WWE may be attributed to her pregnancy.
In episode one among her “pregnancy vlog,” Belair noted that she and Ford unsuccessfully tried for a baby on multiple occasions, which naturally led her to assume that a negative pregnancy test result awaited her yet again. Much to Belair’s surprise, though, this test produced a positive one, which meant the couple’s dream had finally come true. Belair’s relief was evident when she showed the positive result to the camera while holding back tears.
To be totally sure, Belair secured one other pregnancy test from Walgreens, this time sharing the positive result with Ford, a former WWE Tag Team Champion. Together, the 2 then shared an emotional, private celebration of their home.
Later within the video blog, Belair provided a glimpse into her ultrasound appointment, including the sonograms. Viewers may hear the sound of the child’s heartbeat, which registered at 118 beats per minute. In response to Ford, that heart rate was a healthy one for his or her six-week old fetus on the time.
Belair Opens Up About Decision To Pursue Pregnancy
Belair closed out the 16-minute vlog by addressing the finger injury she sustained during her triple-threat championship match at WrestleMania 41. Once she realized the injury and recovery attached to it was more extensive than initially thought, Belair then had a crucial talk with Ford, whom she married in 2018.
“I originally thought it was gonna be a reasonably straightforward recovery,” Belair said. “They said eight to 12 weeks, however it just began not likely healing appropriately. It still won’t bend to at the present time. That is as much because it’ll do. I am unable to get within the ring. It form of just got to the purpose where I hit 4 months and I actually have all the time desired to have a baby. I’m not getting any younger, and truthfully, that is what I need to do. I feel like for thus long I used to be form of putting what I desired to do and myself on the back burner. Me and my husband, we had a chat. I form of just told him, ‘I’m ready simply to do something for me, I’ve sacrificed enough, and I’m able to have a baby.'”
Now on the age of 37, Belair is expecting her first child, whom she revealed as being a baby boy in one other behind-the-scenes vlog. At the identical time, the previous Raw Women’s Champion continues to heal from finger surgery she underwent in February.
