The Okada family has grown by one member.

Kazuchika Okada and his wife, voice actress/singer Suzuko Mimori, recently welcomed the birth of their second child. The couple, who were married in April 2019, now have two sons. Their first was born in August 2022.

Mimori announced the news via Instagram stories, noting that she’s now been able to experience childbirth in both Japan and the United States. The couple moved to the United States this summer after it was officially announced that Okada signed with AEW in March.

“We gave birth to our second son!” A translation of her Mimori’s post reads.

“Since we were in an unfamiliar foreign country for pregnancy and childbirth, we decided to announce after he was born safely! The labor was short and went smoothly.”

“A Japanese nurse was luckily on duty at that moment and was assigned to us! We were super lucky. We were able to experience the childbirth care of both Japan and America, which was fun! Just like with our first child, we are so grateful for the high-quality medical care here.”

“They give me this ginger ale with every meal. LOL #RecordOfGivingBirthInAmerica”

It’s been close to a month since Okada has wrestled. His last match was a successful defense of his AEW Continental Championship against Kyle O’Reilly at Battle of the Belts XII on October 17. His teammates in The Elite, Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, have also taken a sabbatical from the company. Shortly after losing the AEW World Tag Team Championships to Private Party at Fright Night Dynamite, they were seen exiting the building in a hurry and stating that they were “going to work from home.”
