Leah Van Dale (former WWE wrestler Carmella) and Corey Graves are celebrating some big personal news.

The couple announced today that Van Dale is pregnant with their second child together and is expected to give birth this fall. Their son Dimitri was born in November 2023, and Van Dale is also a stepmother to Graves’ three kids from a previous marriage.

“All in perfect time,” They wrote on Instagram. “Our new chapter begins this fall.”

Graves (Matthew Polinsky) is a commentator for WWE currently working on the NXT broadcast team with Vic Joseph & Booker T. Van Dale spent more than a decade with the company before departing WWE earlier this year when her contract was not renewed.

It’s been more than two years now since Van Dale last wrestled. Since giving birth to Dimitri, she’s been dealing with drop foot, a post-pregnancy complication that makes it difficult for her to lift her foot. Van Dale is able to live a mostly normal life but has issues with things like running. While it’s taking longer than she or her doctors expected, Van Dale has expressed optimism that she’ll be able to wrestle again someday.
